Robbed the driver mirror off of parts pig to try to replace my passenger side mirror. It decided to abandon ship on a bumpy road.

I sold the red one to a buddy… who wrecked it….then he bought the grey one to do a body swap…. Then he joined the Navy… so I have them back!
I’d sell them both for the right price probably. The red one has a build thread “Bacon Across America” 3FE, disc brakes, new 33”, on and on. Don’t really want to part out.

Looking good! Can I ask a silly question without having scroll through pages of your build thread.. what offset wheel are you running here? I'm looking at some 315/75r16's on a +20 16x8 rim but I'm just guessing the offset will be enough.. Cheers!

The are similar to stock FJCruiser wheels. Offset and backspacing math is always hard for me to keep straight.

Mine has a ton of power, but still not tracking smoothly. Needs new rubber and still some adjustment, but at least I can get in the back now!
