I had to convince the tire shop near me to put 33's on my truck, they were convinced they wouldn't fit at all. I've never had any rubbing issues offroad even under full flex

Fixed my rearview mirror by replacing the m3x4 screws that hold it to the mount, so no more wobbles! But my sunroof has been stuck at 98% closed, fully within the rectangle but not completely lifted up into place. Pulled the motor and it works perfectly fine in the track, but it is fully binding up and not moving at all when reinstalled. So I’m not putting the motor back in. Just gonna pull the headliner, cut the pulls and tubing that holds them, and push it back into place and seal it with black Flex Seal and use blocks/wedges to hold it up while it cures. It’s all temporary because my son is finishing his first year of technical college for welding, and we’re going to weld a piece of steel in place of the sunroof before he fabricates a full top rack and bumpers for me late summer/early fall.
Also, my last cheap laptop from about 12 years ago died for good, and I cannot get Techstream to run on the new one. It opens up the virtual machine emulator just fine, but it wouldn’t connect to the car and now Techstream refuses to open, saying it needs a valid key. So I have to head to the Techstream thread and ask for help.

I have 275/75/18 on stock wheels and probably slightly lower suspension from being old and sagged and mine don't rub at all.
Started baselining my 99 for a trip to Colorado later this year. I have owned my cruiser for 8 years but this will be the first "big trip" in several years of daily driving/light trail use. Dissent rear bumper ordered. Began process of removing rear hitch and bumper/factory spare hardware. Decided to go witb the high clearance hitch and crossmember from Dissent. I plan to clean and prep the frame and touch up/treat any surface rust before install. Also recently replaced alternator with a rebuilt 100amp Toyota/Denso unit. Full fluid replacement on brakes, coolant, diff's and transfer case. Looking into a LRA 40 gallon primary tank, ASFIR skids, Timbren bump stops and new shocks.
They all start as budget builds
Stopped by cruiser outfitters today and picked up replacement sway bar end links. I opted to save a bit of money and got the aftermarket ones. I’m not sure if it’s the same on the OEM ones but I had to use a mallet to get them in on the lower control arm mount. Extremely happy with how well this old cruiser drives after doing this work. Planning on ball joints next, though I’m thinking of saving up a bit and replacing the upper and lower control arms with the kit from cruiser outfitters. I think it would save a lot of time pressing out bushings
Last week, i got new Mickey Thompson Baja 32.8” tires and over the weekend I put on the big-out Yakima box 
Also! I received from amazon new gas struts for the rear door and installed them -easy. I got tired of the door falling on my head.lol.

Lol! Set of 4 Lift Supports Gas Struts... Amazon product ASIN B07FFM3D3L
I got the combo deal with the hood, too. $43.98 + tax
Started the install of my Slee rear bumper. Waited over 6 months for them to be in stock. I’m glad I waited. The build quality from Slee is fantastic.
Awesome scissors lift!
Wish I had that when it took 3 of us to install mine
Fun garage!
That reminds me I need to finish adding skid plates for the rest of my underside.
A few pounds of prevention might cost more than the converter but the wife doesn’t need to know that.
She just needs to know it’s a safety issue.
I'm shopping skids now. My girlfriend is not happy about the probably $2k expense, but it's better than having it happen again. Hopefully skids are enough to deter future attempts.
$150 for cat shields from Jay and no one's touched my truck.
how did you paint your wheels? they look great.
They came on the truck like that. I actually hate them. I've been looking for replacements.
Just tell her when both mine were stolen, it was a $5100 cost to fix. You’re good to go!
