Nice tyres!

[daniresch]

  Mmmmmmmhhh mtr's!

[SqWADoosh]

Just as I expected two of the tires would not balance without stick weights. I taped over the weights with some gorilla tape to insure they don't go anywhere. Apparently the extra HP of the 3RZ is more suited to 35" tires when running 4:88 because I have seen an increase in acceleration and the truck is driving better with the new tires.

Haha I bet. Great looking tires!

Officially scheduled my trip to Moab in September. Made a separate post here about it: http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=98335.msg1094698#msg1094698

All-Pro emailed me and delayed my parts another two weeks. I'm starting to regret going with them. Thinking Sky might have been a better choice.

[BigBluePile]

Ugh.....that's terrible.

What parts are you still waiting for? You might consider canceling your order. Try finding them locally.

Still waiting on rear springs, shackles, and shocks. I've waited this long I might as well wait a little longer. I'm not going to find anything but trail gear locally. I tried before I placed the order with All-Pro.

16. Add 1.5" wheel spacers (G2 Wheel Spacers)



Before:




After:




No more rubbing for me! 

[BigBluePile]

Nice!  I marked all the nuts/studs with a line to watch and see if they loosen. Even with loctite.

[twistedtoy92]

I run 1.5'' spacers all around the 93 and have yet to have anything loosin up... I always torque them to at least 90 foot pounds... Looks a lot better!!! Now get some hysteer on that beast!

I have it in hand just hasn't been put on yet. I torqued them to 85 ft/lbs and used red loctite on the spacers to hub and blue on the spacers to wheels.

Found a deal I could not pass up on yesterday. A W56B out of a 89 4Runner with attached case for $340. That wouldn't be such a great price if it weren't for the fact that this was the odometer on the truck it came out of:





Duals are coming soon boys

That's crazy clean looking
