    Alternative tire sizes

    the second number is the sidewall height in millimeters. It is the percentage of the width called aspect ratio So 285*.70=199.5mm 199.5*2 because there's sidewall above and below the rim 399mm/25.4=15.7" 15.7" of sidewall plus 17" rim = 32.7" overall diameter the 255/75 has 15" of side...

    3UZ into V8 4runner?

    It doesn't work like that. The 3UZ would be making more torque at 5600 rpm. The ratings are already its peak HP. I don't have my truck in front of me but if it did rev to 5600rpm the torque would be dropping off due to inefficiency which is why it's peak HP isn't there. The 3UZ has a smaller...

    Stiffer Rear Springs

    Do you have a weight distribution hitch? They are a godsend for our trucks. On the stock suspension I ride pretty level on the stock suspension and a distribution hitch while towing a 4000lb travel trailer. Currently waiting for 5100's to come in but FJ springs and airbags are waiting to be...

    3 day sale on Gibson Exhaust! Get it while you can.

    The weather has been bad and I was in the middle of a move so I didn't get a great installed shot under the truck but this is what I have. When it's a dry day I'm going to mount my GoPro on the back window and get some audio. Im hoping to do the headers in the spring so if you could help a...

    3 day sale on Gibson Exhaust! Get it while you can.

    I have mine in the back waiting to get some hoist time. If you have any specific pictures you want I can document it a little instead of banging it out as fast as I can. :)

    Cool. I just got the Gibson SS exhaust from him and was going to wait to see if the headers came up. Might as well do it all in one go :)

    Positivly or negativly charged?

    To future proof yourself I'd personally wire your accessories straight to the battery and run a dedicated fuse panel (like this 82-2303 - ATO®/ATC® Fuse Panel, (6 Position)) separate from factory wiring. This simplifies your install and makes it easier to add accessories in the future. The more...

    How to screw up Seafoming your car

    I wouldn't put seafoam in the engine because it can really wipe out gunk behind the seals and start leaks. Motor oil is already full of detergents. What I would do is shorten up your OCI for a few changes. When you do an oil change with fresh oil does it go darker right away or does is stay...

    Spark Plug Options - DENSO Regular or Iridium, anti-seize

    You don't really have to torque them with a torque wrench but sometimes I'll do the tapered seat design. I spin by hand until the spark plus seats against the head and do 3/4 turns. Because you've already installed yours if you take them out you'd want to turn them less because the washer is...

    Sucks I just got a 4th Gen. Was there going to be another group buy happening at all? I'd buy them yesterday if I could.
