I have Toyo MT2s and they are amazing in snow.

I live on a private road, steep both up and down, which always gets plowed late. I did not slide once in this last storm.

Drove it to Maine from NY and had snow for half the trip and felt very confident going my usual highway speeds. It's a fantastic tire. I am sold.


Nice, my LX came with AT2 and never tried them in snow, but they handeled every type of terrain all over north america very well!

Did mpg go down very much with MTs?
What size?
You have 4 or 5 speed auto?
 
Autocorrect autocorrected AT to MT.

I got the ATs.
 
wow 37s??
Where can i see pics of your rig?
I put a couple pics in the photos thread and a couple videos in the videos thread and one boring video in the “37’s-anyone done it?” thread. I’ll see if I can get a build thread started, but it may take me a little bit. Here is about a useless one from my garage Sunday night right after getting them on. Sorry it’s so dark.

How did you clean your seatbelts? Did it make them retract faster?

Hey @Xetabur, I used a home depot bucket and dawn soap with hot water with a small nylon brush. The prior owner kept the interior pretty clean so I didn't get much dirt out of it compared to other's here. I tried the seat belt last night and they was little to no improvement in the winding. I found 2 threads about cleaning the top pivot and a lexus retractor kit for LX450s that I may end up trying later.
 
Got a smoking deal locally on 5 Falken 285/75-16's the day before my brake booster failed. Replacement booster worked, but ABS light went on and seller sent a replacement I got today, so once I get that on, hopefully that's it for a while. Next up, tire testing and maybe enough free time to repaint my side moldings and door handles..

Built a square tube bumper. Ended up having to replace about 2’ of frame on both sides. Rust is an evil beast!

Frame section replaced with 2x4 .25” and notched the frame so it was c-channel and slid the 2x4 into place and welded also has plug welds. Will finish with scab plates in the next week.

I think you were behind me on Western yesterday. I was trying to get better look at your truck.

Yep, that was me! I was trying to pull next to you but had to head the other direction. I laughed because I see tons of Land Cruisers and I don’t know any of them. We’ll have to meet up sometime soon.
 
Received my new android headunit.

Been fighting a fever so it took me a few days to change the PS wheel bearings and put in a reman CV axle from Detroit Axle. Did I mention that it was 28F today? But none of those things are comparable to this birch-and-a-half job of pulling the axle just far enough to fit the thinnest snap ring I have. Took me an hour to get this far.

Good news is that I'll have to do this again because the teeth on the flange are worn out. :flush:
If that's a OEM reman, that snap ring will be way to thin (very large gap). You most likely have excessive grease between knuckle axle bushing & front drive shaft. This grease will settle after short drive, and then you should find it much easier to pull axle out when you replace the hub flange. I'll bet you need to use a 2.4mmm or even 2.6mm snap ring.
Replaced 2nd Denso leaking radiator and helped repalce another leaking Denso Radiator for a friend for a grand total of 3 leaking Denso radiators. Save time buy Toyota.

Also installed TrailTailor diff drop and re-installed my BIOR skids.
Are these those ebay or Amazon Denso radiators. Can you post up the sellers' name as one(s) to avoid.
 
Finished!
Sadly I must let The Black Knight go now:cry:

^ regarding genuine Denso radiator. Where did it leak- same place multiple times? Did you get warranty??

I just bought one off Rock auto for $173 shipped. I wrote them and verified authenticity, while they admitted they are not an authorized distributor, they buy from an authorized distributor and back up the product implicitly. Product is warrantied, packaging was very good, printed denso install instructions inside and everything apeara authentic, radiator looks correct, fingers crossed I dont have any leak issues.

I may ask Denso directly for some identification clues to be able to easily confirm.
 
Testing out the new fridge and drilling holes in the firewall.
