33x9.5 -- So far they have handled great. They have crushed icy mountain passes, deep mud, loose gravel, rock gardens (Cline Butte in OR) and snow. Have yet to try them out in sand. They seem to lock up on everything. Got stuck in some ice on NYE, but can't blame the tires on that one. They are...
LS put lots of weights on mine to get the balance on point. Hate the look, but they said it was necessary because they wheels were out of round... 45+ year old 40 wheels on a 38 year old 60. Guess that's just what it is until I buy new wheels.
Don't have much of an answer other than DT saying it was "unsafe."
I've had no problems with mine. Cornering over train tracks at high speeds should be cautioned, but other than that, they roll reallll nice.

Symptoms:
-Hard idle when at low rpms
-Will not accelerate and then dies
-After turning off and...
☝ ih8mud comes to the rescue again. Thanks @roadstr6. My 84 fj60 sputtered out on my way to work. Noticed a hard idle and decrease in rpms when pressing down on the accelerator. Recently had a numbskull overflow my tank at a Fred Meyer (here in Oregon where I can NOT pump my own gas). Long story...
Dealing with idling and acceleration issues ever since some bone head overfilled my tank (No self pump in Oregon). My first issue was gas spilling out of the tank. A couple days later and I can’t even get down the road. After reading nearly ALL the post, I fairly certain it is the charcoal...
Hey All,
Late to this thread. @cuwallace2 & @torfab Curious about current cost of installation with the H55? I've read different reviews and have had a few people quote me numbers ranging from $18-30k for the engine, H55 transmission & T-case. Theres a big gap in pricing, but sounds about right...
Hey all,
Very happy I caught this thread. I live in Portland and was recommended to use Dustin. I believe his shop is in McMinville. I’ve spoken with him at length on the phone and he seems knowledgeable. Other than that I cannot relate to peoples’ experience. I do know, after reading these...
