Thank you for your reply. I can run spacers with my current 305's but with the 315's the scrub radius will be too great, especially off road. Looks like I'll might have to find another wheel set. Sent from my SM-N960W using Tapatalk

Howdy All, I've been doing a bit of searching and found some threads here and over at Toyota 120 and Yotatech about 52 and 87 series and how they do and don't clear calipers on a 5th gen depending on spacers and offset and such. I was looking to go to a 97 Series steel wheel in 17x9 in 6x5.5...

Just got this thing home from the shipping outlet down in Sweetgrass. I've had a chance to give it a good inspection and from what I can see, it looks like CVT has done a good job with this one! Might be a while before they're available in decent numbers though, FYI. Only thing I have...

Not that they're the end all be all of speed sensors, but when I pass any radar that displays how fast you're going and then displays it on a flashy sign at the side of the road, it's always what it says on my speedo give or take 1-2km/hr(0.6-1.25mph). It's a negligible difference in speedo...

Thank you very much! Sounds a heck of a lot like my experience, although I've only had 3 alignments at different shops. I have to say, I'm really looking forward to this new set of tires more and more!

Interesting. I had my front swaybar removed the same day I had my Cooper STT Pro's installed, and ever since I've had a wicked pull to driver's side and have been trying to determine the source ever since. I'm talking 50-100yds at 65mph and you'd be in the ditch kind of pull. Really didn't...

Purcell Wilderness. British Columbia, Canada.

Yeup, good call. I've seen this happen. Not fun.

Hehe, thanks. If I had to guess, if First Blood was shot anywhere in Canada it would be in logging or mining country in British Columbia, based on what I've seen of it.

Or more. As much as I'd love a rear bumper, I just never been able justify the price. Money much better spent on some new gears and a locker. That said, this is one of the nicer designs I've seen, and if I had the money I'd probably grab one.

A few years back I got stuck in a bog with water up past the door and wasn't able to get winched out for half an hour or so. See HERE. Water found its way into the cab and there were a few inches on the floor of the passenger's side of the vehicle that found its way in to the rest of the cab...

If you're getting water or anything else inside the mount, then your seal is missing, it's not threaded properly or it's a junk mount/antenna. There's no reason whatsoever that should be happening with a properly installed quality NMO antenna and mount. My contact surface looks as brand new as...

Winter is the best time for Banff and area. I've never been stranded anywhere in the mountains during winter, but it could happen I suppose.

If for some crazy reason you happened to route the feedline past the alternator it might cause some interference, but if the feedline is just coming directly out of the grommet in the firewall or a hole in the cowling straight to the antenna mount, there's no issue for regular UHF/VHF...

Swaybar relocation kit for the front(two small aluminum bars that bolt in between the frame and swaybar bushings). This will help the swaybar clear coilover springs after the lift is installed. You do not need longer swaybar links in the front. New(longer) Swaybar end links definitely help...
