I like the wheel too, but I think I would actually prefer an OEM one!

After a quick tire rotation… BOTH THE DEATH WOBBLE AND THE DEATH SHAKE ARE GONE!! I hope this isn’t too good to be true!! All the stars have aligned!
Dumb question…. but by changing the caster does that change the toe???

RoverDude,
Do you have the part number for your seat covers? On specter offroad website they dont list the HZJ73 as one of the trucks the covers fits but I would think this one below would fit. Is this the one you bought?

This is EXACTLY what my 40 needs - can you tell me where you got your shims, shackles and bolts? I am at -3 caster, so I figure I need to go with a set of 4 degree shims to get back to +1.I added some extended U-bolts on the front axle today after work as the original ones didn’t thread on too far due to the caster shims. I just now need to cut the excess’s length.

I got the shims and extended center bolts from Valley Hybrids (they aren't listed on their website so call or email them) and the extended U-bolts were from Cruiser Teq.This is EXACTLY what my 40 needs - can you tell me where you got your shims, shackles and bolts?

I hope you got it sorted and can take advantage of Frontrunner's sales this month!One more question: What roof rack is that? Looks sharp on the 73
*EDIT: I just found you called it out earlier, Frontrunner roof rack![]()
I did not. I suppose may be I should have....Did you switch out those wheel studs for linger ones while you were at it? If so, where did you find them at?
Roverdude has the nomad wheels which I read with normal studs does not allow for many threads engaged by lugnut. Others have suggested longer studs to remedy. I am looking at these wheels also, since you are the man OGBeno, any suggestions on sourcing these extended studs when I order the Nomads?Why?
