SQOD Squad - Stupid Question Of the Day (47 Viewers)

[Sandroad]

I'm going to order new OEM rear shocks and I don't know what comes with them for installation. Do they come with bushings, washers and nuts, or do I order all those separately? Thanks.

Edit: Nevermind, I found the exploded parts diagram with the info I needed. Looks like bushings and washers are included for Part Number: 4853069695

Does anyone know which section of the FSM the has the torque specs for the body mount nuts?

It’s in the body repair manual

I've got a set of 17" Rock Warrior rims that I want to run to get a C-rated A/T tire. 18" E-rated are just too unforgiving. But I'd like to keep the E-rated for extended towing for their higher load rating.

Does the 200 have two slots for two full sets of 5 TPMS sensors -- one for summer and one for winter tires -- or is there just one?

If not, and I'm going to have two sets of tires with the stored set presumably in range of the TPMS receiver, is it better to have two independent, unique-ID sets (with the added annoyance and expense of having to program myself with Techstream each time I swap tires) or to have two cloned-ID sets?

If it's the latter, I take it that means aftermarket (e.g. Autel) sensors in at least one set of tires since I don't believe the OE sensors have programmable IDs?

One set of 5.
I’m on five years of cloned autel sensors, at one point I had 15 tires (three sets).

Does anyone have any idea what these brackets and clamps are for? Had my 200 for a year now, and never noticed them until today. They are on both driver and passenger sides even with the rear passenger doors.

The clamps are not factory. Someone added those to hang something there in the past.

Looks like Homemade shock reservoir mounts

Correct - OEM sensors are not programmable i.e. "cloneable" like Autels and others.

I just want to have my opening rear third windows and dual TPMS back from my 100 .

And night vision…

Pretty sure those are spare 556 holders. Found the original install pic. Surprising how large assault bullets are!

those are the same remote reservoir mounts I have for my ICON rear shocks

and they are in the same spot

First Post in the SQOD

I have a "new to me" 2018 LX570 with low miles. Currently at about 32K and the truck is smooth and quiet at almost every rpm. My stupid question is do other experience a subtle harmonic/vibration around 1800-1900rpm regardless of gear?

It's a very minor buzz that comes through the steering wheel that I can feel but not obtrusive. Is this NORMAL or should I dive down the rabbit hole looking for something out of balance?

Thanks!

I am thinking about getting a 16+ LX so it will have the 21” wheels. I noticed the Dunlops are wild expensive (and not a brand fan) but Michelin sells a Defender in the required size, per Tire Rack. However it seems the OEM Dunlop has a different speed rating than the equivalent Michelin. Will that make a ride or steering feel difference?

Appreciate the feedback.

Most agree the OEM dunlops are not great tires. Depends on if the Michelin is a load range P, C, or E. C and E will be stiffer. I much prefer my load range E tires vice the standard P load tires.

Per the website, it just says load rating XL. Says the same for the OEM Dunlop too. Difference I see is speed rating; 113V for Dunlop and 113H for Michelin. Sorry if that’s not the correct info to relay.

Just odd to me Discount Tire doesn’t offer the Michelins on their website in this size. That is what has me concerned it may throw something off on ride / steering.

Speed rating alone won’t impact anything you’ll be able to feel. H means the tires been tested up to 130 mph; V means 149 mph. Keep it under 130 and you’ll be fine.

H means the tires been tested up to 130 mph; V means 149 mph.

*At max load, in worst case temperature/road conditions

I can't see a real-world scenario in which a cruiser would have issues with an H rated tire.
