Hopefully I don't need a new cat!

Check Engine Light I am going through this now. Changed the driver side upfront O2 sensor, dealer suggested cleaning fuel injectors, and changing air filter. I had them do that bc it has been running rough. So far so good.

It sounds great doesn't it?? Thanks for the tip on the bearing and hub. I'll let you know what they say

Yeah, i think you are right on the wheel bearing. What did that cost you?

According to mechanics..... sway bar link and ball joint.

The wheel doesn't need to be fully turned. The tires are stock. I'll check for rubbing in the morning. The CV joints were replaced shortly after the lift. Perhaps I should have the service center check them out.

When backing up with the wheel cut, or driving forward and braking around a turn, I hear this noise coming from the right front. Hard to describe... Not quite a grinding, but it is the best I can use to describe it. I do have a toy text ultimate 3" lift on the vehicle. Any ideas??

Can I ask what operating system and browser you are running? I'll make a guess - windoze xp and Internet exploder. My first suggestion to everyone is not to run explorer. Win 7 and windows busts (I mean vista). Both allow you to run windoze security essentials which actually works very well.

Thanks guys, the pictures help a lot!

Thx, that was the faq i was referring to in my post. I was hoping to find a few people that have 285s to get their feedback. Thanks for the quick response.

So I have a toytec 3" lift intalled with new control arms. I don't want to go crazy with super large tires, I was thinking of getting 285 60r18. I know the ICON Lift recommends 285 75r16 with 5 inch backspacing. So I am assuming 285 60r18 should fit with minimal trimming (hoping to avoid the...

I have one I no longer use. I had to remove it to install a stealth box.

I don't think I was out of alignment, but the guys that installed the lift told me to get an alignment when they were done, so I did. You might be right about driving more conservative.

That thing is awesome!!!! I can't wait to see what is next!

So I got this toytec ultimate lift installed. On a trip to the beach (60 miles) round trip, I averaged 1.5 mpg BETTER than I did before the lift. This is according to the "wish-o-meter" as someone on the board dubbed it. The tires remain unchanged, though I did have an alignment, and new...
