a 35x12.50 will fit, you just have to be brave enough to make it. calmer profile tires, like an All terrain will be easier to manage. the section width of mud terrain/max traction tire isn't totally accurate as the lugs sometimes extend outside of the measured area. trust me, if i can make a...

it does not REQUIRE premium fuel, it is recommended for maximum performance. the fuel management system is designed to recognize what level of octane fuel you are using and compensate accordingly. modern vehicles have knock sensors in the block that "listen" for pre-detonation in the cylinders...

when is the 5 ton build coming? did you get one with the cummins?

here was mine on 35s, going to get another one in a couple years with an Ecoboost this time around. going with a full long travel suspension front and rear to boot

jeeze, when did you get your degree from Buzzkill U?

Honestly that's the fastest I've ever seen someone go through a "rock garden" if you could even call it that. For someone with light years of "experience" off-roading it really feels like he has no idea what he's doing. Surprised he didn't damage the axles going that fast.

Hey... I have a toyota... :(

I was a mechanic for the Air Force, thank you - and most of their vehicles these days sport the Oshkosh independent suspension. So yes, I understand it well and it's merits and disadvantages of IFS vs Live. But once again you're not comparing the same things AGAIN. your reference to Baja racers...

the wheel bearing could be shot due to the heat form the seized caliper

is that the one that goes through the center of the wheel and attaches behind the tire? i was looking at one of those for my Jeep - but now i need to get a tire carrier for my 4runner so i can be cool like everybody else :(

i wasn't referring to the CJ. its not really fair to compare a nearly brand new computer managed truck to a jeep built in the 70s with "engineering" put an LR3 against a same vintage LWB Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and there isn't any way the LR3 could follow it through the stuff the Jeep can...

id do the 650lb spring and have them revalved. they're probably valved too aggressively

send me your contact info

bad ***! i really want a snorkel for mine, allocation of funds seems to consistently be a problem though... i wish i had a torch mate and a brake, id make one out of aluminum sheet

i love the LR3s and 4s. i really do. id love to have one, but if you're comparing the capability of your rover to a lifted jeep on 35's with double lockers - the person driving the jeep had no idea what they're doing. seriously sounds like you had a great time though and the truck looks great!

Generally these days the driveline was already broke in 30 seconds after they started the engine at the plant. Break ins don't really exist anymore.

your pics are not working :(

They're very heavy, local tire shops cannot and will not change the tires on them. Difficult to balance. Honestly if you have to ask if you need them, you don't and you'd be better off selling them and recoup some costs. Walker Evans beadlocks are NOT cheap. I wish I could get them from you

agreed, keep the FJ

a month later...
