    Removing rear seats to increase payload capacity?

    I have a 2013 Land Cruiser and since I have no intention of carrying passengers I removed the third and second row seats. I'm sure that weight savings helps with the weight gains with the 40 gallon long Range tank etc.

    The trick to making any bag like this to last is to only use it on trips. After a trip , wash the bag with soap and water and get all the dust off.

    Decision time. Trail Comm with CB required per 4x4 club. Upcoming changes, need WX.

    I have Ham , GMRS and CB radios. Each has it's purpose. I had my CB tuned at a truck stop and it is invaluable on the highway listening to the truckers for entertainment and traffic conditions. I've been saved a couple of times from backups and exited for a detour.

    Discovery 5 - Advice on larger tires for 22" wheels

    You are really better off getting the smallest size wheel you can fit. With a smaller wheel , you get more sidewall and that will provide a better ride aired down and protection against sidewall punctures.

    Thanks, I have not been those sites in a long time. Lots of guys use spacers but I don't like them for the added stress on the bearings etc. My tire shop, Discount Tire ,does not work on vehicle with spacers. I had to call the their corporate office and send them a copy of my build sheet to...
