What net is that separating the cargo area?
It's one I made to keep the pups in the back. I made it to anchor at the bottom through the D-rings, the top through the grab handles and under the headrest in the middle.
Cheers,
Scot
 
Getting 315/75/16 's Cooper SST PRO's but paranoid they wont fit. Currently it has 305/70/16 's . so 33 inch to 35 inch I think

Currently has about 2 1/2 inch lift and is a FZJ105R front live axle. So thinking I will be ok for clearance. :)

Feel free to comment if you have done this already on this setup. 80 series has similar front setup


Here's the difference on a tire size calculator.

Cheers for reply. Yeah looked at that , looked at an Australian version of that comparison tool also. Also looked at speedometre differences compared to stock.

Below are pics of the current (older) Cooper SST PRO 305/70/16 's

I made the quick measurements around the tyre and I think I will be fine. If not it will be very close. SPrings in front look to be the only thing to be in the way, but I take it a normal turn would never turn that far anyway,

Works out as 23 mm diameter and 5mm each side width. Even with the 305/70/16 currently bald I think it will be fine. Will add pics to here after its done Tuesday morning. Maybe it will help someone else with similar mod/s going up a size.

I remember seeing that mine were cracked and I did manage to find a thread of people discussing it. The consensus was: it didn't cause any leaking so they were leaving it alone and that's what I did. I see you did a writeup so I might tackle this myself! Thanks!
I have a single crack on each side. Where did you source the trim? Going through several project during my WFH time.
 
Since I finished baselining brownie, I finally go time to work on the aesthetics..

Removed the running boards last weekend.

I got mine at McGeorge. Part numbers in my original post—I think they were $20ish ea.
 
I made a pretty substantial support piece under the bumper cover for the pivot to mount to. It's a tight space to get something rigid enough into.

Wild! The finished product looks amazing! You should sell this!
 
Installed my Huracan Tailgate Storage Compartment!

Jealous!

I installed a new actuator for the Center Diff as mine had failed. I measured out the front rive play and determined I need new CVS and hub flanges. And I removed the rear spoiler, so I could shift the expedition rack backwards another 2", hopefully to reduce the highway noise from the RTT.

You’re gonna love the 315 width aired down on the sand. Post a pic when installed

Replaced the plastic trim at the front of both rear quarter windows. Both of mine had two cracks, and were making me a bit crazy.
Haven’t seen any threads on this but suspect it’s a common problem—if a write up would be helpful I’d be happy to put one together—it’s a one-banana job but much easier after side one, as are all jobs.
Pulled the window seal on the driver’s side off completely to clean around the window. On the passenger side I just pulled the back away to clean what’s visible with the window open.
when I went to reinstall the window I was like, “hey those look like rust flakes!” So I’ll be pulling that window tomorrow afternoon and figuring out how bad the cancer is.
NorCal truck so very very rust free, but the paint here must have been compromised and all that SF rain did its thing.

Yes! I have a crack in this same trim on either side. Any pointers?! Part #?
