Stuffin them a little

Haha Are those jeep wheels?

 

[jumpn4jesus]

No, not jeep wheels. They are Toyota Highlander wheels!

 

[Kona]

get your tires all the same or your 4x4 will blow up

 

[Dannyboy]

This should work.
new exhaust clears
new total chaos u-bolt plates give 2" more clearance under springs
leaf pack is starting to break in.
front appears to be drooping nicely.

^^That thing looks way better with the 35s on it.

 

[jumpn4jesus]

Why will it blow up?

I am gonna get some crager soft 8's. Do you guys know if the auto locking hubs will still work with those wheels?:exp:

Yea the hubs will fit through the hole in the center of the wheel just fine.
Running in 4x4 on paved sufaces with different sized tires front to rear isnt good for the t-case which might in fact cause it to fail becuase of the difference in speeds. Its kinda like having different gear ratios front and rear and since the t-case is "locked" and doesnt allow slippage then it will either drag the tires or break. But on the trail where traction is minimal then you shouldnt have too much of a problem.

Ummmm?:roll: Who in the world uses 4x4 on pavement? I thought that in and of itself was means to kill stuff? I only used 4x4 offroad.

I am VERY VERY impressed with the 4-lo on my truck! Crawled right up a really steep hill that I couldn't even get up with a running start in 4 high. It just walked right up and didn't even slip one bit! Nice going down the other side as well in 4-lo. It works great as engine braking! Is that a bad thing to use it as engine brakes?

I've got to ask..is your camera fawked up, or is that photoshopped?
I suppose I should add, or was that just a setting on the camera?

 

[jumpn4jesus]

Make that 4... Can't forget Paul's. 22" of usable 4x4 travel. It might be too late for the "jack and 4x4 piece of wood" pic though...

...and yes, that's me driving.

 

[Dannyboy]

that right there is a baby making machine. I can't wait to see the finished product.

 

[410Fortune]

kinda worthless to post any TTB flex after Pauls truck! LOL
Hey Colin you almost took out his tie rod there.......geesh careful with other peoples rigs! LOL

4" wider beams really help get some higher travel numbers, that and coilovers and swing set steering....come on lotto!!

 

[Tbars4]

...^^^x2..:scratch:...If I ever hit the lotto it will be time for a new ranger project and a tow rig...

 

[CopyKat]

4" wider beams really help get some higher travel numbers,

It sure does

 

[FROADER]

They're 3" but yes, it definitely helps.
