Little Beadlock update, the 1/8 or 3mm spacers came in, and I have had just enough time to install them on the offending wheel. THingd that I noticed immediately after the torque sequence. - torque sequence took less time as the bolt bottomed out and reached torque faster (no chasing) - bolt...

Little dude looks at peace.

4.3's will be nice with 35's. I'm looking at 4.56 with 37's.

This weekend I played the Let's learn bead locks the hard way. Keep in mind the manufacturer says OFFROAD USE only and 25psi max. I find it at the moment kind of like marine engines and equipment, a mix of black magic and luck. When I installed the BLs I lost some bolts, as in the broken at...

Everyone says I will even if I’m gentle. I wheeled Windrock last year, and the year before for a week on 35’s and nothing. I don’t drive like most of the guys in the videos, I use the ATRAC and keep the rpm’s high enough to keep it engaged. And I use the winch. Now that I’m on 37’s this will...

I want to retract my comments on balance the balance beads. After a few more camp trips I decided to remove my wheel spacers (Spydertrax 1.25”). My effects backspacing with the spacers was 3.25” (wheel BS 4.5, spacer 1.25, 4.5-1.25 = yup 3.25). It was clear a firewall chop was required with 3.25...

Oddly enough when I was rebuilding my wife’s LED projectors in her 2005 Sequoia I noticed Toyota stuck the fuel heal sink thing in the DS fender well. Its located behind the battery on my Gx and get no air flow.

I have been searching specifically for an exact issue on my 2007 GX470 with no success, I broadened the search and found this thread with the SAME symptoms on the 100 series. I ordered a fuel pump to start the rabbit hole adventure.
