What about the dunlop rovers in 255/85? You will need to regear though.

I think 4.88's are a good choice for highway mileage and cruising. ARB is a wise choice too. You will regret not doing that at the same time.

I dont use mine much, but it is nice to know it is there.

Man, your truck is looking so incredible :clapsmile

I'm not sure how well this is going to work for you guys to view. If anybody has any suggestions or anything please let me know.

about the clip: This is when we arrived to laurel lakes in the beginning of July. It was past 1am and my rock lights were on. This was the first time I videotaped with the OB cameras :victory:

Oh man, that is soooo cool! :Wow1: :cool: The vid loaded super fast for me too.

Have you had personal experience with those tires? I read a pretty good review on them HERE.

I'm definitely going to regear, even if I stay with 32's. Fully loaded it's just too heavy for stock gearing.

And yes, the added security of the arb would be nice, just like the snorkel ;)

With my mileage somewhere sub 16 I think it's time to look for a daily driver. I just got the okay from my lovely wife to get an older 4runner 86-9? Then I'll have the option to go with a solid axle swap or long travel :D

A bit off topic because it's not about your truck, but for some reason I could not get the video to play? I dowloaded the latest version of Flash Player and can get other flash movies to play from the net but all I see is a picture of your two back tire. No moving :ar15: , any suggestions?

Cheers :beer:,

I'm not sure how exactly it works. I just click on the link and it opens a new window with its own player and it either automatically plays or you click on the player for it to start. Maybe somebody can chime in with some guidance

I just tried it again and it worked fine. I don't know what happened the first time. Very cool video and it did load super fast.

ammo can

I finally mounted an ammo can on my rear bumper. I'll eventually put my license plate there. I don't like the way the plate hangs below the bumper.

I'm not quite sure what I'll put in there. Maybe recovery stuff like straps and shackles or I may just fill it with poop when I camp.

And here's a picture of the locking mech.

That's a lot of poop!

Mark, your truck is amazing.... :drool:

Top notch, from stem to stern. The video was great and loaded quickly for me. This has been a great mod thread to follow!

I spy with my little eye...

Something that keeps things cold. Is that an Fridge Freeze I see hiding behind the spare tire? Is that it's permanent home/location?

Looking good. That would be a great place for a strap and some shackles. Easy access. Just don't put anything that could be stolen in there.

Cheers :beer:,
