Where is Pig? I miss seeing his frowny face.

Staying far away from Cowboy

Ya, girl kitties are savage. I love dogs and cats for completely different reasons. I miss my 2 girl cats and my daughter is foaming at the mouth (pun intended) to get a dog. Just can't have pets in the house we are in.

I want to know how this Redhead steering box holds up after you put some miles on it. I've had West Texas Offroad do two boxes for me and they eventually leak as bad as ever.

Do you think the shafts get grooved?

 

[Godwin]

Do you think the shafts get grooved?

Can't say because I've not dismantled a leaky WTOF resealed box to check, but that is a possibility.

 

[wngrog]

I’ve gotten “rebuilt” boxes from WTO with twisted splines. Not a rebuild. It’s a reseal.

So I went and did a thing........

Now that that pesky steering rod is out of the way, why not go ahead and put some real meats on this thing

315/75-16 Yokohama’s.

summit smooth Vintique 16x7 with 4” BS wheels

Tires measure out 34.25” at 40 psi mounted on the truck. Width is right at 12”

 

[J Mack]

4” BS wheels

Tires Width is right at 12”

When I ran 12” wide tires with a 3.5” backspace rim my rear tires would rub the inner rear wheel tubs quite a bit on the trails I drive.

You will be .5” closer with your wheels and might be something to keep an eye on if you drive anything like I do.

They rub the front shocks for sure. The inner fender just a bit in the back It’s close Both of these spots won’t hurt anything since nothing is sharp. I may get some 1” spacers and see if they still tuck into the fenders and get me off the shock.

They are damn close everywhere for sure.

My shackles are hitting the anti inversion bar on full stuff and as I’ve discussed before the front shackle angle has flattened out a good bit. I may try to find some shackle that’s a bit longer without the anti inversion stuff.

I will say that I had stuff that was close when sitting static like you are parked that turned into a fairly significant rub when actually driving on the trail, you’ll get a lot more unfavorable movement with the inertia of a moving vehicle.

Not saying you’ll have issues on your trails but I would need to make some changes to run the little trails we have out here.

Not doubting that a bit. I’ll play with it. Good thing is that none of the rubs is a binding type that will break something.

It’s all a process as you know.

I wish I saw the corrola lights offer sooner. Do they have a part number? Now that I do not have a swing out, I have to think about plate lights.

 

[Megadoomer]

Never mind. I have the old skool plate from the bottom.

I run 255/85-16 on my 45 and 60. Love the size.

If you want some with the 285/75–16 is the same height but 2” wider. I run them on my 80.
