Thanks for the info, right now I'm running 285/70/17 and I know the steelies are heavy af. I don't do anything too nuts when offroading so it isn't a serious crawler and what it has done for me it's been great. I think with all this my fear is something seriously going wrong with all the weight...

I'd like to bump this and add some more information on inquiring when to regear. When I bought my 4R it had mud tires on it (it was awful) and I switched them to K02s with ProComp steelies 17s. Then I added maybe 80lbs in the back for my drawer/sleeping platform. Later this year I'm going to be...

Got mine back after a replacement of rack & pinion and cv axle hehehe

Went camping for a night! My hiking backpack, cooler, everything I needed all in the back and I was absolutely comfortable. I bought one of those half inch pads since it was just one night, but have my eyes set on this 4 season self-inflating pad for long weekends.

Bought mine in January. Dude wanted $6900 and talked him down to $6200. 214k. Already had a lift, rack, mud tires that I happily sold and slapped some K02s on there instead.

Dropped the 'ol boy at the shop for some steering and starting issues. we'll see how deep the hole is once my mechanic gets in there lol *update: low on power steering fluid; there's a leak somewhere and my mechanic has to get in there and clean everything to find the leak. And it is my starter...

my '99 has 223k on it (i've had it since January, bought it with 214k) and the previous owner put an aftermarket deck in it with the screen and everything, and that thing acts more faulty than anything else in that vehicle lol I'm looking to have it removed

Finishing up this...bought the plans from solid wood worx. I work for a construction company and we have some guys that were waiting for one of our projects to start so they didn't have a whole lot to do; I got it approved from the boss to have them cut materials and put it together. I painted...

I've got a question; I just had this put into my runner as well, did you bolt your system down? I go off-roading and don't want it moving around (as heavy as it is) nor if heaven forbid I get into an accident I don't want it flying everywhere. If you bolted yours down how did you do it? many thanks!

Installed spot lights, (they're getting the amber taken off and moved to the center) and bought fogs today and ordered LEDs for signals. Those will arrive monday. It will be ready for Moab come Thursday when I leave hahaha

Reattached the roof rack after a little paint and mounting the gas can holder. next part of it is to mount my traction boards to it with a little ghetto-rigging. it'll be sturdy af though. Need to replace headlights back to original, remove the spare tire from under the rear (I have the new...

Had a bunch of stuff taken care of in the last week: alignment transmission flush oil change installation of shrockworks bumper

wow your clock still works? i need to figure out what's up with mine lol probably just a bulb issue or something. seems like everyone's clock is working except mine hahah

Got my baby back yesterday, new ball joint, new wheels + tires. Went with ProComp 51 Series, 285/70/17 BFG K02 tires. It's about to go to my local shop for a steering rack leak and some other small items. Need to attach my gas can mount, Maxtrax mounts, full skids came in yesterday. I'll have a...

Currently mine is at the shop, I was initially getting my new ProComp wheels + BFG K02 tires installed and an alignment...which turned into needing a new ball joint...which turned into a steering rack leak...which turned into needing a new knuckle on that same ball joint. lol. So they'll have my...
