Good tire choice for all duty rig ;p
You'll be amazed of the bite in the terrain.

That's very nice and relieving to hear. Thanks!

 

[WhompinFJ]

Well. Shipping was very fast and I couldn't take it! I just had to go pick up one and have it mounted to the wheel just so I could see it!

 

[Captain Sanuk]

looks good man! its the little things like tires and wheels that start making these things look mean! I like the wheel and tire combo

 

[WhompinFJ]

Thanks man! Means a lot coming from the builder of wampa!

I have a friend that ran 33's with some adjustable shackles on his cruiser.. it worked well for him. Then you can just keep the 33's when you go OME and save up for a little while

Where would I find these shackles you speak of?

 

[Captain Sanuk]

I cant remember what brand they are. They look something like this but straight. i think these ones are for a tacoma

 

[WhompinFJ]

Well I figured that I didn't have to work yesterday, and before I bought the rest I need to make sure they will clear. They look so proportioned!

 

[dkyuss]

Lookin good! This is next on my spend list. A set of 33x10.5 ko2. Is this the size you settled on?
Those 15" rims?

 

[WhompinFJ]

Yup, 33x10.50r15s

As long as you're still planning on regearing the 33's won't be a huge issue on the passes up to bear lake and back...let me know when you do, I'm up in logan right now

 

[WhompinFJ]

Planning a regear, it's just going to be awhile before I do it.

 

[WhompinFJ]

So before I get my new tires I know it's going to strain my trans more so I am going to to a Rodney flush tomorrow. I have 2 cases of atf from SAMs club. And I don't know the first thing about doing this? Can someone show me which line to pull and the proper way. I've searched for it and read through all of them but they aren't detailed enough for me to quote get it.

 

[cruisermatt]

I wouldn't worry about it. 3" of extra diameter is a very minimal difference.

 

[WhompinFJ]

Well I already got my atf and i know my car needs it.

 

[cruisermatt]

Just check the level and top it off if it's low.

Have you gotten any indication from driving that there is anything wrong with your transmission?

 

[WhompinFJ]

She shifts super hard and sometimes slips

 

[WhompinFJ]

Well I just did a Rodney type flush with my own spin on it and she drives so good! It's like a whole new cruiser!!!!!!

Alright guys I am ready for my next mod, my tires will be ready for install the end of next week. And the next mod that is a must will be a whole headlight revamp, I am going to get a wiring harness from cruiser outfitters, then I am going to get my bulbs from sesquehana motorsports. Now is the question time, how do I get my harness? He doesn't have them listed on cruiseroutfitters.com, and my other question is I know I want the hella h4s, but which exact ones do I need? Could you guys show me the exact ones? That would be much appreciated!!!
