Top speed goes down drastically when installing much heavier wheel tires combo that are also larger and therefore putting more strain on the engine .I'm sure you'd improve your top speed, but somehow I don't think your clutch/driveline would live a long and happy life.
The inches of additional ride height might also do some interesting things going around corners
Do these have android os? Some of the really tough phones I checked out wouldn't allow me to customize them for my work, and being on call because they had some proprietary os. One of the reasons I also avoid anything Apple.
Never heard of these ones, thanks for the tip!!
Sorry to quote myself
Would appreciate some feedback.
I have an old 40 that i was planning to put an H55 and xfer case next year.
As I understand it I need a different input shaft for the 2F engine vs the 1HZ.....not a big deal
Am thinking about accellerating things and buying a new H55 and xfer case to swap into the 77 and be done with it.
Then this winter take my time working to rebuld the H55 out of my 77 to be put into the 40
This will minimize down time for the 77......just an accellerated drain on the bank acct.
An wondering if I can eliminate the electric transfer case shifter for 4wd in favor of a lever like on the 40....anyone done this on a 77?
Am I missing any glaring issues?
yup, i used to hear people complaining about their broken phones, then i'd take mine and throw it as far as i could, or drop it in some water
down be a debbie downer Joe,,,, he'd haul ass on the downhills, wouldnt stop for sh$t, but he'd haul ass.
A fellow club member saw this one in Gainesville, FL today. Maybe the owner will chime in.

don’t worry gentlemen, it was just a fun mock up, I know what goes into those massive tires!!
I’ll be going with 35s here in the next little bit!
Need to do a few adjustments on the rig first.

Made me kick myself for not finding a nice way to carry an electric chainsaw.

A signifigant step with the 12 H-T swap. Passed inspection for the fist time in more than four years. I'm very happy with the 12H-T, it is so easy to keep up with the traffic compared to 3B.. and fuel consumption seems to be a positive surprise, first highway test 10,35 litres per 100 km (22,7 mpg) .
That sound with a quiet whistle...

Go clean my engine bay.
Figured it was time for a bikini top, I'm too pale of a PNW person to not have shade.
So I dug up @FJBen's old post 70 series bikini tops - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/70-series-bikini-tops.477488/post-14189898 and found that despite being "discontinued" 4 Wheel Parts had a few in their warehouse still had the Smittybilt top in stock. I have to report compared to my old Bestop on my FJ40, this top has zero flapping, and good coverage all the way to the doors (no more rain coming through the sides on top).
