Yep, Dustin at FN Wheels helped with tire sizing, and I figured on cutting some. I've put on over a thousand highway miles now, and mileage may have slipped a mile per gallon. Blowing down I-35 at 75 mph, its two hands on the steering wheel.
Wheels and tires on! Sorry Nickk6 but I couldn't pass on your Six Shooters. Paired with Yokohama Geolander M/T G003 at 265/70/17. They rubbed until I trimmed wheel well moulding up about 6" behind the front tires. Now they fit great.
Thanks T100. I should not have bought the J150 rockers. They curve and extend so far down at the wheel wells that the SSO rock sliders ran into them. So, I have cut the rocker panels to clear the sliders, and will mount them soon. I wish I had cut the running boards like others have done on...
Rock sliders mounted. Bought SSO and very happy with them. They mounted perfectly. It took about 2.5 hours including hacksaw time on one steel KDSS cover. To explain how incompetent a mechanic I am, I have to admit that while on my back turning bolts, ratchet slipped and fell on my face...
The stock suspension is a little softer, but not so much that my wife has commented. I feel more bumps with the OME kit, not bothersome. Our socialist spenders on Austin city council can't fill potholes, but it was hell on the stock suspension too. The alignment is spot on for now. Handling...
Stock 2013 GX460 by traverse posted Nov 25, 2017 at 10:32 AMAfter 110,000 miles, time to transform my Austin street cruiser into an expedition vehicle.
I bought this 2013 GX new in August 2012 after owning three pre-2007 Tundras over a period of 12 years. I have to admit my wife picked it...
Nickk6, I'm not a steady enough hand, so I ordered the prado rockers this week. And sliders from SSO. Are your Six Shooters 17x8? Do you like that size wheel over the OEM 18? What size Wranglers are mounted? Thx
Nickk6, great looking 460. I am starting to outfit my 2013 GX460. Looks like you cut the running board for sliders. I've seen others ordering Prado rocker panels. Which would you recommend?
