More Pics of New Wheels and Tires
I will let you know. I'm not sure about shipping them though. I originally stripped them down to bare metal with aircraft paint remover, used a self etching primer, followed by the VHT graphite gray, and then a clear coat. When my BFG KM2s were put on, the...
Thanks! The old wheels are 15x7 with 4.5" backspacing. 6 on 5.5 lug pattern. I painted them several years ago with VHT Graphite gray (same color as new wheels). I am looking at selling all 5 once I have the tires dismounted (already have a buyer for tires).
New Wheels and Tires!
Thanks!
As soon as the air bags were in, I pulled the truck out of the garage and started taking off the wheels.
Here is a pic of my 35x12.5r17 on a 7.5" wide rim vs a 35x12.5r17 that had been on a 10" rim. These tires on these wheels with the extra half inch of...
Air Lift Install
After ordering my 35s, I started looking for something to help with the sag in the rear suspension when I'm loaded with the RTT, all of the camping gear and supplies, and bikes. I came across the Air Lift 1000.
Part Number 60755
Pretty easy to install. Unbolt the bottom of...
I too have a 40" bar from eBay. Only $130. It's insane up close, but after 75 or so yards, it's just not there. I did get some 60 watt 10" bars that have a much bigger spot reflectors and they blow the 40 out of the water.
I have the Ironman with foam cells. I've also had the Nitro gas shocks. No complaints at all. It improved the ride drastically from the old stuff that was on the truck. Whenever I'm loaded down with the RTT, cooler, and a bunch of gear, the rear starts to sag, but I just ordered a rear airlift...
35s Mounted and Wheels Painted
Ordered my 35s yesterday. Decided to go with 35x12.5r17 Kenda Klever MTs with the black letters out. They showed up today and I had them mounted. The center caps fit, but barely catch on the hubs, so we ground down these plastic fins on the inside of them...
Thanks! The 17" FJ Cruiser alloys I pictured fit without spacers and with the center caps! My factory wheels were 15x7 with 4.5" back spacing I believe. These are 17x7.5 with I believe an extra half inch of back spacing. The 17" FJ steel wheels I had have the same specs as the alloys, but the...
Has anyone used LED strip lighting? Seems like it would be easy to install as most are able to be cut to length, bright, small enough to not take up a lot of space/be damaged, and waterproof. Seems pretty cheap too...
Title says windows but I don't see a window... Looks awesome, but I would only ever be interested in a see through panel. What about having it fold down to form a table? Then lower it all the way to the flare? That would make it even more useful!
FJ Cruiser/ 4Runner Alloys
Too good of a deal to pass up...bought 5 17" FJ Cruiser/4Runner rims today. Definitely need darker paint. Should I go with these or the steelies?
I also got my 60 watt 11" light bars that I had custom made in the other day. Might be awhile before I get these...
I have Wet Okoles. Not sure they are the toughest out there, but really the only ones I liked due to their near factory fit. They are neoprene by the way. I use diving suit shampoo to clean mine up every now and then.
Thanks! You are correct, Summit Cruisers aka Steve, is my dad. I haven't pulled the m416 trailer since installing the 4.88s so no feedback there. I actually enjoy driving it on the highway now. My speedometer isn't correct, and I thought about paying a company to do a new mechanical gear to...
Cascadia Vehicle Tents is working on something similar right now. I don't think its a receive hitch carrier, but they teased a couple photos on Instagram.
I have had condensation under the mattress, but never on the walls. I always keep at least 3 of the 4 windows open at all times even if it's raining. I would believe that it would really condensate inside a tent if it was sealed up.
Deciding on Tires
The more I think about it, I feel like I should go with the 305s if I go with the BFG KM2s as they are a lot smaller than advertised. My 33x10.5s are <32" in diameter and roughly 9" tread width. I've read on Jeep forums about 305s next to 35x12.5s and the diameter being...
You could always add a filter to the bar to make the light warmer, however it does reduce the output quite a bit. Here it is on, I like that it matches my Light Forces. 5 separate 8" pieces snap on to my generic eBay bar.
I too have noticed quite a few people drivingn with LED pods on in...
FJ Cruiser Steelies
I Bought 5 17x7.5" FJ Cruiser Steelies today! After looking at tons of different wheels and tire sizes, I definitely wanted 17s because I can get 34x11.5ish tires. I liked the Method Race Wheels and the Procomp La Paz's, but none of them fit with center caps so I decided to...
