    Another blown front diff - looking for some options before going down the rabbit hole

    If you are okay with the downtime, I'd have Cruiser Outfitters build you a diff with a locker, send it to your mechanic, then ship back your diff for core value. https://www.cruiseroutfitters.com/lock_3rd_member.html

    80/20 with Stock Roof Rack

    I don't know if you want to do it but you could widen the bar spacing on your tent to reduce the amount of deflection on the crossbars. Or add more crossbars and "clearance" the area of contact. Also know, if you add more horizontal bars but only fasten the front and rear most ones, you can...

    Opinions and install - Winch to stock front end suspension w/ ARB Bumper 3413050 98-02

    It looks like it'll fit. Just have to remove the control box and either mount on top of the bumper or get a relocation box and mount elsewhere. Make sure you have access to the clutch lever. The Ironman winch does not show the control box but there has to be one.

    80/20 with Stock Roof Rack

    Will it make contact with roof when weighted?

    Sourcing KMC Impact 542s

    Most of my tires are E-load, because that was all that was available. Certainly subjective but the ride is not bad unless you daily drive a Lexus LS. But off-road, the C-load tires definitely conform more to rocks than an E-load. But free is free, go with it and then decide later on your next...

    Predictions: Bigger Tires?

    The damage is monetary. I chose this product based on advertised size. Who doesn't choose a tire decision based on advertised size?

    Predictions: Bigger Tires?

    False advertising. The advertised product is different than that actual measurement using the exact measuring standards. The consumer, like myself, certainly makes a purchase decision based on those dimensions. What if my tire clearance to UCA was 1/2" with my tire chains. New tires that are 1"...

    Predictions: Bigger Tires?

    That's what I was saying. See post #40. If the manufacturer is indeed misrepresenting the size by as much as an inch, you or anybody could easily have a class action lawsuit. I'm clear on section width vs tread width. Fewer and fewer manufacturers are listing the tread width dimension but Tire...

    91 Octane Requirement

    Most turbo gas motors that can run on 87 octane fuel have Direction Injection (Fuel ). DI is great but there is significant maintenance to keep the intake valves clean.

    Is this the exact tire? These specs are from the Falken Website:

    Sway bar options for LX470?

    The front LC & LX sway bars are the same. The rears are different.

    Since you are doing all that welding. Have you thought about or will you cut & turn the knuckle balls for better caster?

    Predictions: Bigger Tires?

    AT3 Specifications The specs are right there. Both measured on 8" wheel. The 285 shows as 1/2" wider at the section. You're saying the 275/60R10 is 20mm on the same rim. That's a ~1.25" discrepancy.

    Predictions: Bigger Tires?

    Well, you think it's more. I think it is less. Nobody can measure. Manufacturers have little incentive to imply their tire is wider than it really is. 🤷‍♀️

    100 Series Lift Reliability

    AFAIK, there are no "off the shelf" drop brackets for the 100. As for suspension, I think go for "purpose built." And since you already have a 100, you probably have an idea of your usage. Once you have a plan, you can decide on suspension needs.

    100 Series Lift Reliability

    Lift with factory reliability? The answer is actually "Body Lift." Anything adjustable or changes the CV angles will be less reliable. Anything that changes the spring rate without additional weight will not ride as well.

    Opinions and install - Winch to stock front end suspension w/ ARB Bumper 3413050 98-02

    That video is for an '03+ ARB Bull bar bumper and it wants a "feet forward" type winch. 98-02 is different and has a cradle. Feet-down winch compatible.

    Nice! If going through all that trouble, you gotta go 37's! And if 37's, consider going with 5.29's. The 100 rear factory locker would require some 80 series parts to use the 80 series 5.29 ratio set.
