There is a thread on the Razrs in this size:

Maxxis Razr -33x10.50-15

My buddy hooked me up with a set of these tires to do a little head to head testing with the current MT tires I’m running. I’ve got Yokohama 235/85-16 MT/2003 KM3, both 33x10.50-15 and 7.50-16 These tires replace a

These are huge for 33s. The Coopers they replaced are 31x10.50 and measure 29” tall on the truck.

HORN FIX:

The horn on this 4Runner would occasionally beep if pressed in the upper right corner of the steering wheel pad. Mostly, though, it did not work.

Common problem.

This is the best thread for a quick, cheap, effective fix:

We were able to successfully accomplish the .22 Caliber bullet casing fix without removing the steering wheel.

We removed the horn pad and upper/lower column clam shell pieces. We were able to use a cut-down .22 shell, filled with dielectric grease, and get it on the spring-loaded plunger with 2 guys: one to needle nose the shell into place and the other to hold the plunger depressed with a long, skinny, flat bald screw driver.

I also learned the rubber band around the needle nose handles to keep from dropping the .22 shell.

Horn works like new.

Funny. I replaced my plunger, properly, recently. Pretty sure I counted 23 screws.

There is something to be said for dong it OEM-correct. Your truck deserves it...maybe this one will, some day. (a 3.4 is the dream)

17th Birthday present is a 5th OE Toyota Steelie and a 33x10.50 Maxxis Razr.

We will start a 5-tire rotation and plan to mount the spare interior cargo, vertically, on the Driver’s side.

Nice truck!
It’s interesting that the led dome lights are working for you. I tried one in my 89 pickup and it didn’t work, somehow it even caused my clock to reset. Any ideas?

 

[gnob]

The dome and clock are connected via the dome fuse

But why doesn’t the bulb work? Sorry I’m not electrically inclined.

Btw your username and avatar are probably my favorite on here!

Makes me wonder…my dome light works great with the LED…but my clock doesn’t work at all.

To my recollection, the clock didn’t work with the incandescent light in the dome either.

Never new they shared a fuse…I’m going to dig around

 

[gnob]

Your dome fuse is blown. Dome fuse is memory for the clock

I have no issues running leds in my dome, doors and maps.

@G-Cat shoot me a pm and I can send you the ewd if you don't already have it.
Same with you @Woodini

I don't want to be cluttering up his thread
