https://www.toyotires.com/tire-finder/LT255/80/17 says 50 pounds, and the Open Country R/T is also shown in this size at 56 pounds.

If there is a perfect 1:1 torque bias and the brakes apply equal force to each wheel there can be no increased traction from brake application. But perhaps 1:1 bias is not perfect, or the brakes do not actually apply equal force to each wheel? There is some friction within the differential...

To give you another option right now you can get a Marmot Argent 4P tent including footprint for $150 shipped from Sierra Trading Post with the use of a coupon code. I use a different Marmot tent and I am pleased with it.

Ah, that makes sense. I just spent $$$ on Baja Designs lights because they are one of very few brands on the market that are not 6000K+ CCT, which I also have problems with. Hopefully they live up to their billing.

I haven't seen either but "on paper" these seem like an interesting less expensive alternative: https://www.mudlifeled.com/product-category/aurora-r-series/ Reasons?

I see that around the time of the rear air locker installation you had Bilstein's back there. How could that possibly keep up with custom coil-overs on a long travel front? Isn't that the truck equivalent of a fiddler crab? (One tiny claw, huge claw.) (I imagine that will be addressed as I...

Portland had an ice storm recently so I had ample opportunity to try out these tires in the worst conditions. On thick glare ice the A/T3W's were as useless as summer tires, just like everything else I've driven on beside chains. (I haven't tried dedicated studless snow and ice tires as winter...

What a captivating history, and photos. Funny, inspiring, and scary. The lower ball joint destruction freaks me out! I think the 4G 4Runner is supposed to be stronger in that area but now I want to check mine. How would one go about that?

zidaro, I have maybe 1/16" between the tires and the rear mudflaps under moderate compression. Pulling the mudflaps would gain maybe a third of an inch, not nearly enough to run chains, and I believe by law I need mudflaps anyway, so whatever trimming I do I'll need room to put on some generic...

I am looking for a pictorial guide to enlarging the rear wheel area of a forth generation 4Runner. I recently upgraded to 33" tires and I like the flotation they provide however I have no clearance for chains. I want to be able to run mud/ice chains (at least) on the rear. I do not wish to...

That's called a two-link-spacing (2-link) chain. They are harder to find but factory options exist. How do you like a pair of these 2-link chains on the rear with none on the front? Can yous till steer OK?

Why? I have a limited slip rear and if some day I feel the need for more traction I intend to add a front locker. Others have run this combination and not reported problems.

Why did you rule out the Grabber X3 and Falken M/T but keep in the SST Pro?

Thanks for this video. I learned several things in the process of watching it.

The two wheel conveyances I've ridden were powered by my own legs. I have (had) no prejudice against any kind of vehicle. I think I am a courteous driver. I try to be the first to pull off a one lane road, I wait for and defer to cyclists since I know how vulnerable they are, etc. When I was...
