so they measure 33.5 inch tall off the vehicle yeah? On the australian BFG website, they state this tyre as being 33.1" tall, whereas the yank BFG website states it as 33.3 " tall......33,5" tall as you claim is interesting.....

Just wondering, has anybody here built up an expedition trailer from scratch and have a writeup on it? I more interested in the chassis design and and the like...... I understand its just easier to by one for your intended purpose and modify as you need to but Im trying to find the cheapest...

Yeah, what you state would be the best way to go, Im assuming your 1KZ has the electronic jection pump too yes? If so, there are a whole bunch of aftermarket ECU upgrades that will alter injection timing and pressure, but you would need an adjustable one and dyno tune it properly to suit the...

Guys, I got a mate with a workshop here in Australia and he has just done some work on a current shape D4D Diesel hilux auto with 265/75x16 tyres , that has the same 3" exhaust as I do.....he was about to fit a Steinabuer Performance Chip to it and did a dyno run before with exhaust and after...

heres some pics of it finished....was abit fidly to install, the welding as you may know tends to re-adjust metal so had to clean up a couple holes and it weighs a tad more than before but all is good. Front View Side View I also fabricated me own front recovery hook. The factory metal...

Heres the rest of the bashplate fabrication. Heres a pic of the side plates and front plate tacked in place before removing to finish the weld properly.Damn its hard to weld with one hand upside down when the other hand is holding the pieces in place! Heres more of a side view. Its hard to...

Hey Guys, Been a while since I updated my very slow buidlup but heres what Ive done in the meantime. Ive fitted a front ARB AirLocker which has made a world of difference to the capabilities of the Hilux on those loose and rocky mountain trails. Its my first vehicle to have a locker of any...

Just Bumping this topic back up to the top.....got a mate who know's a maxxis Rep here and he's going to ask on my behalf about this tyre if they can get a one off order in to OZ for me, as they would be great as a second set of tyres for offroad only. has anybody else had any experience with...

I have 285/75x16's at the moment and yes, they are a heavy tyre on a steel 16x8 rim.....which is why I was considering this on a stock 17x7.5 steel rim, thou Im concerned that the standard +30 offset wont be enough to clear the stock UCA's.....

Thanks for that link mate, there doesnt seem to be many pics anywhere of the KM2's in this size as of yet. I know its not a toyota but its the only pics around. anybody else got some? Another quick question, with this tyre having a 10" width, when aired down to say 10-12 psi, would that...
