I'm looking at this same tire and size for my 02' have you done much on a trail aired down? Someone mentioned that skinny you get very little to no side wall grip. Hoping you can share some experience.
Any Update
Any update on this? I am about to install 285/70/17 on my 02' and am worried about rubbing on the UCA. I saw a 3rd gen at the lake the other day with the same wheels as me and 285/70 K02s and it looked like they had rubbing on their UCA.
I am literally in the process of trying to make this decision. The whitelines came the other day but I might just order a whole new set of control arms. What finally tipped you with going the new control arms? I'd love to hear your reasoning.
I'm in the limbo right now too. I ordered the whitelines but people have said it's a harsher ride on the road. It's a daily driver so I thought OEM would be better for that. Also a lot of people have said that they noticed a lot more noise. So is your comment in favor of the poly?
RTT On Platform
Hopefully this finds you, haha. I was curious how you mounted your RTT to the paltform. I'm looking at this rack for my 3rd Gen and I'll probably pair it with a Tepui RTT. I watched a youtube of a guy mounting one but he had to drill new holes in the bottom of his tent. Did you...
Looks Great
I was going back and forth on get the FCP or the Nitro, talked to John at Ironman for about 30 minutes today trying to sort it out, he was torn too. this thread helped me make the decision to go with Nitro. Good info on the UCAs I might just grab a pair with the kit.
your truck is...
Beast
This thing is looking beastly. I think you mentioned it in the thread but what size tires are you running?
I need to replace the lower ball joints on mine as well but i'm nervous to try and break the rusty bolts off.
That sunfire red is awesome!!! Can't wait to see more.
