Ref: spacers on -75 for FJC steelies and your tires? 265 R70 17?..I cant remember your combo.

I have 285/70/17 tires
So, in theory, if I get 255/75 skinnies, I should be golden?
Yep. I'm thinking of going that route as well
What? You don’t like “phat bottomed girls”?
In all honesty, I’m running a thinner tire on the Steelies too. I like the taller “thinner” tire for East Coast follow the ruts adventures.
Let the tire preference bombardments begin…

I'm one step closer to finishing my exhaust. I built a Downpipe and now placing the O2 sensor, and this is where I was thinking. I'm planning on putting in a weld in bung as soon as i can get one. Excuse the terrible welding lol
Currently have balloons now. They stick out 1.5" past the tub. 33x12.5-15 on 15x8s. The lugs also like throwing gravel. Here's a shot from the weekend drive. Sounds like I'm in a tin shack being shot by hillbillies. No offense to hillbillies, since I'm pretty much the same.What? You don’t like “phat bottomed girls”?

Bought a gauge cluster mid-housing, rear circuit board and 30 AMP gauge from fish4reel. Installed the rest of the gauges from a '79 cluster that PO had installed in my '77. Got all the gages working properly. Rudi's posts on "Cluster, Gauges & Odo meters" was a tremendous help. Thank you!
Realized I blew an axle seal as I was putting the 40 on the trailer in MT. Picked this mini axle up today as figured might as well put disc's on it if redoing the knuckles. So some questions...... figuring 60 rotors.and 4runner calipers. The axle has been robbed of the left knuckle arm and locking hub. First question.....what knuckle arm should I look for (60 series?) Second question....locking hub preference, aisin or warn. Sorry for bad photo, of course a rusty old axle isn't overly exciting
Looks great. I love the 70 series rims with 31’s?
Running 235/85r16’s. Sometimes I wished they were wider for the look. I put them on before I converted to power steering so they were much easier to turn.
The wife’s car has interior accent lights, well hold my beer…..wa la! This is temporary for now, I eventually will find a led rope that I can place up in the gutter so it’s truly an accent light. For now it’s ok, I used to run cab interior lights when I drove a truck for a living. Just enough so you didn’t feel you were solely in the dark but didn’t take away from the mirror view.
