I'm not sure how to Toyo's are, I was told they are good when you sipe them, but I decided on the MT/R's because I got a good deal and 5 of them. I can let you know how the MT/R's work in the snow and mud though, even though I have open diffs front and rear right now.

I've heard nothing but good things about the toyo's. All the reviews I've read have been good and they're supposed to be good in all situations. I really like their heavy sidewall. Only thing I'm not sure about is how they wear but I think they wear good? Anyone know for sure who's had a set?

[1Bad4Runner]

CrawlerDan has a set and loves them!

Iv been driving my truck around a bit and every thing seems to be good. The only thing I noticed is when I hot a dip or pot hole in the road my sterring wheel moves around, Im thinking Iv got to tow in alittle more or could it be caster angle?

Heres a picture of me putting those rear springs to work. I had to mill a bunch of Koa wood today at work. At 12$ a board foot thats a load of money in the back of my truck.

the TOYO my are by far the best allround tire since the mt/r they do awsome in the mud,snow, dry, anything that you can throw at them.  the only  thing that i can say is bad about them is they are kinda heavy. NO NOT EVER SIPE A OPEN LUG TIRE, they never last long they WILL chunk out and you wont be happy trust me, i see it all the time.

Your truck looks awsome hope to see you on the trails... Keep up the good work.

I used to work at les schwab in sweet home oregon i saw many toyo m/t tirres go out the door they all balanced exceptionally I sold at least 30-40 sets of them over a 1 year period i had only 1 come back for a flat these tires are a god sent for the snow even in 2wd i was going up steep inclines with ease as for the mileage issue the get exllent tread ware had a set of 38x1450x16 i sold to a friend he has aan 84 long bed and he has had them for 15,000 miles and the are at90-95% still they didn't cup vibrate get flats or any thing he loves them hope it helps your quest to find tire they come in 35x13.50x15 and 37x14.00x15 if that help either

[bruiz05]

which ones did you in up ordering? 

[92yota [OP]]

I was gona get the toyos but they are prity expensive and no one in hawaii had them so it would of cost alot to ship them here. So I ended up getting 35 12.50 BFG mud terrains. I see allot of sand and slick clay I had the 33's and they lasted forever and never let me down.

[bruiz05]

cool man sounds like your almost done. 

how is the wheeling in hawaii?  i am headed that way in sept of 07', i want to get some wheeling in if i can.

[92yota [OP]]

Theres not much rocks to play on but theres alot of sand and mud and clay where I live, probably not nearly as fun as places in the mainland. I finished my front drive shaft today it came out prity nice it's also straight as an arrow. I grinded the weld smooth in the double cardon side then cut the shaft off right before the weld with a pipe cutter. Then I cut a peice the size I needed from an extra rear driveshaft with the pipe cutter. Then I put the double cardon joint on one side and the marlin drive shaft extention on the other, it was a tight fit to get the shaft over the shoulders but it worked out good. Then I bolted the shaft in place and took a peice of 1/8 rod and clamped it to the frame then bent the other end so that it was about 1/32 away from the shaft then I turned the shaft by hand and tapped it here and there to get it trued up then once it was all good I tacked it in place alternating sides then took it out welded it up then reinstalled it and rechecked for straightness and it was perfect. I would like to angle the pinion up allitle with some shims I have some aluminum ones has anyone had problems with them cracking? Now that im done whit the driveshaft I can start working on finnishing up my on board air.

[92yota [OP]]

Well my dream truck was short lived Last week I rolled it 2 times over while takeing a a sharp turn going tooooooo fast. I shure learned my lesson and dont ever plan on driveing while feeling jolly again. I sold it to my friend that helped me build the truck. The frame Bent prity bad and the entire body is like a smashed aluminum can. He is going to strip the truck and put all the stuff on another. One of the front springs are also bent to . I was wondering if anyone knows If marlin would sell just one spring, my friend would like to get the spring and some other goodies if possible. Ill post some pics of the truck once I get a chance.
