Or any 1st gen ST...

Good morning ST Peeps, Can anyone chime in on 15" wheel fitment specs that work for an '05 ST Adrenalin 4wd? What's the width, offset, backspacing, brand, etc? Also, include if any trimming or cutting will be necessary due to rubbing? Pics are always welcomed as well. Thank you all for your...

"Bueller."

I thought lunchbox lockers would not work in an LSD? I thought it had to be an open diff for the lunchbox locker yo be dropped in.

Hello again my ST peeps. Can anyone offer some advice on a rim offset that gives my ST wider stance? My ST will also have a 2" lift. My stock rims are 16x7 with 12mm offset. I'd like to stick with 16" rims and plan to run 265/75r16 AT's. But it's not set in stone. I welcome any and all...

Interesting, how the LSD works more efficiently on your van. I was contemplating and considering rebuilding the LSD. And the thought, "If I'm working on the diff, I might as well install a locker," did cross my mind.

Thank you for the insight and sharing your experience with the LSD. Just to clarify, the Powertrax auto locker is not a lunch box locker, correct?

Lol! I also grew up with dial up modem, AOL, and a floppy disk. I've said before that I'm very late to the party. I suppose there is an advantage to being late, such as the wealth of knowledge and experience in this forum.

Amazing info!! I had no idea it could be so technical. This method sounds like it definitely optimizes the length of a tire's tread life. I admit. I currently don't check my tire pressure very often. Basically only when an oil change is due.

Thanks for the feedback on autolockers. I'm with you, I also don't stomp on the accelerators in those conditions. I've been reading more and more about automatic lockers and how properly drive with them.

Your knowledge on Fords is unmatched!! So it would be an F150 front end swap to a Ranger/Explorer?

Great feedback on 10 ply tires! Thanks again 410. Like I said, I'm a sponge. Lol! Here's my novice question. What's the chalk line test?

Thank you for the insight Thank you for the insight and advice. It's good to know that there is a front locker option. And thank you for sharing your towing experience and the pros and cons of a front locker. This is definitely something to consider in the future. I'm going to see where my LSD...

I saw BFG's at Walmart. I did think it was strange. What's even stranger, was that it was just 1 tire for sale, 1 single BFG. Lol! So, the establishment where you get tires from matters? I'm guessing the BFG from Walmart won't last as long.

Great info!!! Thank you for the suggestion. I love this forum!! A buddy of mine also suggested this. I think it's a good idea to go with my LSD and see if it suits my needs. Then like you, I'll graduate to an Ox. Lol! Regarding the Ox, I love that "drive away key" that you can purchase for that...

I was thinking of also upgrading my calipers to account for the change in braking power, due to the bigger, heavier tires. Is that a good idea?

I I was pretty much settled on Falkens. Every cluster of reviews i have read, videos I've watched, have all been consistently positive for the Wildpeaks. But 410's suggestions have opened me up to do more research. I'm still quite sure, I'm getting Wildpeaks for my Forester. But for the ST...

Thank you for the locker suggestion. Here in Vegas there definitely is sand. There are numerous dry river bed trails and washes that lead down to the Colorado River. From what I've been told, and read online. It seems the desert is well suited for automatic lockers. It doesn't snow or rain a ton...

Wow. I'm sorry. That's so infuriating. Some people are just plain dirtbags. I know what you mean and how you feel about the violation. I've had my old S10 broken into while in the campus parking lot, while I was in class. I still remember how red-eyed pissed I got. And also, it's a college. I...

That's interesting, and weird, that some are made overseas and some are made in the US. Is there a way to know which ones are which?

Thank you. I also have read that a long aal is better than a short. The kit I found offered a long aal as an option.

My DD is a Forester. I'm also a novice. Damn!! That means currently, I can only make it as far as the parking lot. I'm not even a soft-roader. I'm a mall crawler. That'll change. Good thing I have all you guys to teach me the do's and don'ts. I appreciate all you guys for your help.

Sweet! You have an Ox. I'm quite sure I'll get one in the future. But I do agree with 410's advice about "seat time" and getting to know my rig and developing the correct offroad driving skills. He has been vouched for by other members to me as well, regarding his knowledge. I will be picking...

Thank you for info on LSD's. I may need need to have mine checked out. My ST has 93k miles.

I've looked up some of the tire brands. I have to say, Dick Cepek Fun Country's and Trail Country Exp's, I'm interested in those. I'll have to look up the Mickey Thompsons.
