35" tyres on landcrusier

[ShottsUZJ100]

John - You make an empirical statement that 35s fit with no rubbing issues, requiring no body lift, no bump stop adjustment, etc., and then you're surprised when people challenge you? You always say, look at the pics when trying to prove your own points, but when other produce pics that contradict you, suddenly all you have is smart-a$$ remarks? A true sign of reasoning and intelligence...

Can you just acknowledge that every setup is slightly different, and while you can fit 35s with no rubbing, that doesn't mean that everyone else can?

Why are you still arguing and confronting me on this? Just read the posts. Data is in. Pictures are there. Case is closed. What do you want me to say?

*Rip off the 315's before they rip off your fender

*Bump-stop them if you keep them

*Notify the 100 owners of the huge risk via FAQ before folks rip up their trucks

Great thread. Great data.

The BL helps and all but eliminates the contact with the rear inner fender liner. However my GY MT/R 285/75 R18's are a little taller than my prior 315/75 R16 MT/R and I still get a little rub on the rear inner fender liner at max articulation. I can deal with that...its the front rub that's more destructive as you know . I'm thinking a 3/4" BL might just solve the front issue...but the fan shroud would need to be dealt with...and so it goes!

I hope my 285/60/18 Toyo ATs dont rub

I got a decent amount of rub on the back with the 285/75/18 Toyo MTs, and enough on the slee bumper that caused me to actually STOP forward motion. So I put some spacers on the back.

I'm digging the new signature

Back on topic, I'm not trying to you wrong John, I am simply trying to make factual statements and showing pictures of how close a 295 can get. That is a 33.8" tire. Whether or not your 35's rub, none of us know until you show us a video or pictures. I saw a video on your website where you can here the 35's popping on your Slee bumper. you even posted a picture with the rear tire jammed into the Slee bumper. I'm not sure where it was posted, but it is out there. As for the front, I have yet to see you turn while wheeling. If you can provide us with just ONE picture or some proof. Please post it.

Thanks for making my point for me!

Reason you are still trying to argue the point? I got it (the data). Did you?

Absolutely. I think the info collected here clearly shows that there is one more issue to be addressed if running 35's that I have not done.

Will I be making any changes to my current setup? NOPE!

I will point out here (using this new data) that the only change required to correct this on my 100 would be:

*Front: Lower the bump stop...maybe about one-inch...would have to inspect to make sure of the exact length.

*Rear: Nothing. I have always had lowered rear stops to eliminate the rubbing. Since adding N74L a tad of the rubbing on the inside of the wheel well is back (in extreme situations like the below pic). It's a non-issue. The squeeling (no pop pop sound) tire against the Slee Rear Bumper is just that, a squeal. No stopping of progress.

Again...NO changes to Roklimo will be made. I'm sure you-all knew those comments were made in "jest".

What happen to "case closed"
See post 155, 159, 161

 

[ShottsUZJ100]

You need reading lessons. Case is closed.

We all SHOULD lower our front bumpstops to prevent the trouble. WILL we all...that is a DIFFERENT topic. I will not. You did. Others can decide based on this great info I agree with.

Case closed.

 

[ShottsUZJ100]

Now that I do not agree with.

It's SIMPLE to add 95% of the 315 makes onto a 100. Bump-stop corrections are a "normal" issue when adding large tires and on most vehicles. To do add them is "simple". Other requirements are plain cake! (Trim the plastic, adjust T-bars, add a diff-drop, etc. Everyone's doing it already!)

Here's a blanket statement....."Adding 35's to the 100 is EASY".

How are you guys dealing with this (attached pictures) or maybe it just the flexibility of AHC but Im not near full compression. With the wheel turned slightly there is a big problem at full compression with tire contact and the fender.

if you have AHC, do you have it in HIGH mode, SPORT dampening, with button set to OFF so it wont try to level automatically. I would think that would help the stuffing you have if not.

if you do have it setup for offroad in pic....then might be bad actuator or just how AHC works....hope not cuz I am not putting in standard suspension until this one dies on me.

That is it...I am removing my 33s and putting on 4 doughnut spare tires from a toyota highlander instead

Mode determines ride height, does not effect travel of the AHC shock. Same goes for dampening setting, travel unchanged.

I did not know if the SPORT setting would stiffen it enough to help keep tire from stuffing a little. Thanks for comment.
