So they're going to compare offroad capabilities with low profile Michelin Defenders? :bravo:

I wouldn't pay more than $500 with the tires. I got a brand new take off set of just wheels for $300

Mine has been hanging on the wall for 2 years. Only time it goes back on is when I tow my boat I have 2 other daily driver's but if I drove the T4R everyday, I'd feel comfortable driving without it installed

Had similar balancing issues on only 31" Duratracs on my GF's car. I ran 285/70/17 Toyo RT's for about 10,000 miles on my '03 V8. No vibrations and I never got the feeling it was too much tire for my T4R I just upgraded to 35 x 12.50 Nitto Trail Grapplers and I have no regrets. I actually...

I just cut small pieces of an extra license plate and folded them up to fill the gap

Have you considered just removing the front sway bar all together? only time I run mine is when I tow my boat

Trust me guy, I wheel. I live near southern Utah and I'm rockcrawling when I'm out there. Dragging on my fuel tank skid dragging my trailer receiver coming off obstacles and barely have clearance everywhere else. I run loaded down with a ton of gear for emergency situations and camping etc. I've...

A lot of the failures of this type are due to driver error/vehicle capability. If you're open diff, trying to get up a challenging obstacle and the only thing you can do is be the SEND IT KING, something is likely to fail due to the shock load on the drivetrain. Even the strongest...

I did roughly 700 miles of off road travel last year (dirt) My goal is 1,000 this year In order from top to bottom: White Rim Trail, Canyonlands NP (2) Devil's Racetrack, San Rafael Swell Behind the Reef Road, San Rafael Swell Eagle Canyon, San Rafael Swell High Uintah Mountains, Utah

VR38DETT (GTR engine) Cuz...why not haha

I have an 03' with the factory hitch and I'm able to store my spare 285/70/17 in the factory location. Not sure if your hitch is different than mine, I'm able to leave the receiver in as well

I installed the diff drop spacers, removed my front sway bar completely Lift details below

Haha my T4R is dedicated offroad usage so 70mph is fine headed to the trail. I've got 2 other cars I daily drive. You won't see a huge difference between 4.56 and 4.88 @ 80mph, maybe 100-300 rpm's
