30 years in the making. 30 years delayed. Finally a lowly Eiȝty exemplifies its purpose. If you know, you know. More to come.

Yes, I love me some 255s :-) but I just happen to have the original 15s and some Taco steel 17s. Purchase of 16 wheels would be a net addition....to which I'm not apposed, yet I'm sure I could nickle & dime myself to death on this thing. Ha! I see what you did there!

I spent many thousands on sets of Duratracs, and then bought them again. It was a low point in my life: http://dog.xepoch.com/duratracs That was after doing every in-between tread I could find out there. Then I decided no one ever looked at any of my vehicles and wanted to be me, so I...

Couldn't agree more with that statement. I do appreciate as much sidewall as I can get. But there do seem to be some tire availability limitations, as well as how many folks are running 15s nowadays for resale?

I miss Bed Bath and Beyond, the food court, and spending time in the Apple store. Once there was this pile of snow that the plows made in the parking lot and I drove one of my wide Nitto tires up on it and people looked at me all funny.

If I switch (soonish) to a FF rear axle I have to go at least 16. 33x10.50s don't seem to be readily available without a few days order time. I often sell my tires at about 50% tread remaining: more demand for 17?

Dude you know damned well straight 30 weight is the only answer.

FJ80. 15" wheels stock. Fitting ~33"s. Would you stay 15s for more sidewall or move to 17s? I have both OEM 15" and 17" wheels. 17 is the new 15. Options for tires are plentiful anyway. Any reason y'all would stray from 15?

What are my options moving into 2021 for a GOOD pop top camper on an LC80?

I logging in just now about to ask nearly this similar question. I'm ready for choppy choppy. Where or where do i find a commercial pop top??

Et voilà! ??

Pics below. Thoughts?

Wait...where TF is a W? I'll take pics in the light tomorrow, but am I missing something?

Hmmm, which begs the question which kind of can do I then have? ? They fit NATO carriers with cap covers brilliantly. Have I used these for years (without leak nor failure) and been using a knockoff this whole time?

I have several older NATO fuel cans that accompany me on my tours. Somewhere during garage adjustments over COVID I lost my neck/spout. Every one I seem to order are the wrong size. What exact spout/neck do I need to fit my cans?

Good news is that where we would employ cans is generally not exactly a patrolled area. Like at all. But inside safety and leakage is a bit concerned of mine.

I'm a BFG or Firestone guy and I do have a set of MTs, but they sit 90% unused in the garage. I am a big fan of a lift. Primarily simply for the larger travel springs and load capacity. The LTX are not made in many tall sizes. But if I had a Taco I'd run 235/85 LTX without hesitation despite...

I am so re-enamored these last few years of having my spare in OEM under bed location with proper rear hatch access I can't imagine on a swing like I used to have. Anyway, and as such, no spare fuel underneath for me ☹

Maybe these new cans will work better. But I've never had luck with this in the last 30 years or so.
