Since I have 2 banks i ordered the 2 bank charger... was 139 regular price.

Now it's 199 on sale with a regular price of $250.. that is 180% inflation in just 1 month.

Hey there, are you still running 285/75/18? Curious about that size but was under the impression it wouldn’t clear…

Anything will clear with enough cutting, hammering, and bravado.

Sorry, should have been more clear: “I’m lacking bravado, will these still work?” Haha

Depends on a bunch of factors - do you have an LX or Land Cruiser? The notable difference on the land cruiser is that you’ll need to clear the driver side KDSS arm. You can do that with a relocation kit, a tundra conversion, castor, or lots of wheel offset. Most have a combination.

Good visualization here

34s vs 35s on the 200

I recently went through this journey in my build thread, but I figured it might be easier to locate in the future on its own as more members buy and build trucks and try to determine which size tire is appropriate. I think it's safe to say just about everyone wants to go bigger when they get new...

Yep still running 285/75/18. With a kdss relocation kit. No issues had to heat up the shields and push them on very little. Also took off the mud flaps. But been a great tire. It can be done.

Well Christmas was good. Added the new TT rear lower skids. My old TT lowers were used hard and it showed. And installed a pedal commander Santa brought me. This thing is noiceeeeee. So far city 3 or 4 is where I like it.

 

[jrmudder92]

Added a air valve. No more opening the hood to air up!

 

[Fisher23]

How will you keep the mud and dust out of it? Is a cap available?

 

[Tex68w]

Use a Wits End Pacifier for it, no problem.

I am surprised to hear that, you're like the first person I've ever heard of preferring that crappy rubber flap that falls off to the pacifier. There's a first for everything lol.
