am I wrong or did you get a little Toyota Trails coverage?

When I dunked my 55 that deep, I didn't have to open the door to drain, the water just exited through the same rust holes in the floor boards.

I will say though that siped MTR's REALLY work well on the rocks and packed snow, they wear about twice as fast though.

They look good!

She aint the only one!!

I really want 39.5" Iroks.

I know, I know. I need another set of tires, used strictly for wheeling. Krawler Red Labels or something

Yep! I thought I was going to grenade my motor! Thanks to the quick actions of David and Ernie ( both are in the picture with the red 4Runner ) I was only stuck in there for a minute or two. Sheri, the author of that article, took all the pictures

Yep, you nailed it. I'm thinking 35's for the street and 39's for the trail, OR a set of recentered H1's with military 37" meats 100% of the time. We'll see what develops over the next 8 months or so.

what is H1's? some serious dang?

Military humvee wheels, you can have em re centered and bolt pattern changed to fit your application. also they are a double bead lock via the insert inside. only down fall to em is they are 16.5" wheels which are not very popular these days.

US Military double beadlock wheels that came on Humvees. Recenter them and bingo, you've got a double beadlock rim.

We dont have rigid stuff like that over here...

hey can you do me a favor..

can you measure the distance from the bottom of your frame to the ground both front and rear (like right before bumpers), then also measure the actual height of the 35's you just put on.

I wanna see how my new ride height compares.

Without a doubt man. I'll do side to side as she still has a bit of a lean.

Actually, I need to get her on flat ground since she's parked on a bit of a sideways slope right now. Ran out of gas and had to use the starter to get into a spot. Too broke to put gas in too

I'll see what I can do tomorrow.

cool man i appreciate it, and i know the broke feeling ive been without a job for a couple months now.
thats why ive got so much time for my 60 recently. lol

 

[VTCruiser]

It seems I either have the time or the money to work on my Cruiser. Never both.

Jesus, well hopefully you find work soon. The worst part about being broke is you have no money to buy chit for your cruiser, at least that's the worst part for me

Amen to that brotha.

cool looks like mine sits just a hair lower than yours with the 33's and long shackles so with the same tires id only be .75-1" taller

I can totally deal with that. thanks man.

Anytime man. I'm hoping to find a frame and do a 63" spring swap this summer. Hopefullyill be able to put the rear springs up front too, then I'd be all set. It's all about flex!!!!!

 

[CruisinFJ60]

yes sir
