I have 1.5" wheel spacers on the rear of my Cruiser and have ran them with success for the last 5 years. I have never had a torque issue with them loosening off. I am 6800lbs with a full floater and 38x14.5 tires and I have about 100000KM on them. However, with the combination of a big tire...

I will not argue with your list. Those are all valid points BUT I am not sure they apply to tire "performance" in the purest sense. rotating mass is a braking issue reciprocating mass is a shock/suspension issue wind and rolling resistance ----> yup, that could be important as a tire issue but...

Have any of you guys ran a bigger then 35x12.5 tire on an expo rig that was set up properly to handle the bigger tires? I just ask because I was on a recent trip with two rigs that had 38" or over tires. One did brake the steering knuckle (on my truck) but that's not a "tire" issue, that's an...

I also run the OME on my SOA and wouldn't want it any other way. I think I would modify my shackle points to run 60 series springs on a 55 The other thing to take into consideration is to get your spring perches as low as possible. it doesn't sound like a big deal but it all adds up. With...

Personally, a well built SOA will out perform a SUA in any situation. I would keep it simple, remember if you do the shackle reversal, it may add height that is not wanted. On a SUA I wouldn't even consider one, on a Expo rig I would think twice about it. I have thousands of miles on my SOA...

Memory showed up, install is a breeze and it appears to work great. iphoto is loading faster and running better.

Even better. They should work great for you...man! :cool:

after you've wiped and cleaned up, remember that everything can fail. I have read stories of tie rods failing, tires failing (as in your case) , steering boxes failing ect. It doesn't mean I will never drive. If that was the case for all things, I would never leave the house. You may...

The brake disk. What the caliper clamps down on.

No issues for me. Running for 4 or 5 years now. Two sets of rotors later...

Down two more... 309 this morning. Not sure how. Beer night on friday with Vern's Double Double on saturday...I think I am going to pay for that this week. Fowl suppers are starting out here... I am in trouble.

Yup, running aluminum. As for running them in the front you need to be concerned about wheel scrub when making a corner as well. For the Toyota guys, the older IFS hub on 4 runners is not as deep as the mini truck or Cruiser hub essential giving you about a 2.5" wider stance up front. (1.25 a...

Bolt on spacer of a high quality are fine. I have been running 1.5" spacers in the rear of my Cruiser for 5 years and had them checked for cracks recently and found nothing. They are as good as new. I do re torque about once a year. For reference I weigh in at over 6500lbs and run a 38x14.5...

IMO if you have to dip your cigars in rum...you need better cigars!!:o My fav is Dalwhinnie but tonight I am drinking a 15 year old Glenmorangie:ylsmoke:

Thanks for the bump! I just ordered up 4 gb to try and help with iphoto.

We bought one of these this summer from Costco and LOVE. We use it not only for camping (saves on space and mess) but also for repacking "family" packs of meat. One of our favorites is to seal chicken/fish/beef with out favorite marinade and then freeze for camping trips. In the Engel, by the...

That looks to be the first one built with the serial number 000001?? I'd give him $100 :sombrero:

Down 4lbs this week. Working like a dog but stayed away from the fast food while on the road. Bruce, are we going to get an update on your border crossing adventure?

Just more refinements in the 60/62 Larger knuckles in all 60/62. Some 55s have the small pattern (don't know years) everything is fine spline 5spd split case t-case bigger engine better PS set up I think the 60 series is the biggest interior land cruiser lots of them around better aftermarket...

Steady as she goes. 315lbs It was a rough week for me. Out of town 5 out of seven days and worked on the weekend. Lots of eating out...
