Good Luck. Looks like their last login was in Nov of 2012.

Thanks for the info! I typically believe in “buy once cry once” but my runner is my hunting rig and hate to put too much $ into it. That and my hearing is getting worse so I probably wouldn’t notice sound quality! I’m over in Hudson, originally from Spooner area. How about you? Thanks again...

Hey Rick, what do you think of this unit? Was thinking of trying it. Thanks!

Well, I just happened to do exactly this tonight. I had a Bilstein/OME lift installed this last fall. Lift was probably 2.5” front and maybe 2” rear. I just made the jump from 265/75r16 to 285/70r17 and I put them on 2008 FJ 6-spoke wheels. The stock SR5 wheels were 7” wide at 30mm offset...

With a 255 and the 15 offset of the FJ wheel, do you think that would allow me to avoid the BMC? I've read a ton on it, and results seem to be all over the board. Wouldn't mind avoiding it if I can.

Thanks for the help. That helps things make a bit more sense. If my math is correct, I should be gaining 1.5mm of spacing over my current setup when you take into consideration the change in offset of the wheels and the additional width of the new tire. I guess it'll depend now on how the...

I should note: It’s lifted and I’m not as concerned about the other forms of rubbing on BM etc. Just wondering about the UCA at the moment. Thanks again!

I’ve drained a solid 83% from my phone battery searching this but to no avail, and to be honest, I’m terrible at math. So the chance of me figuring out backspacing and offset to fit a certain tire width is just not going to happen! My question is: Will 285/70r17 BF KO2s rub my stock UCA with FJ...

Thanks. I most definitely do care and wouldn’t ever do the nylon webbing after I watched a lab get ejected from the back of a pickup topper in a roll over. Luckily she was okay but she was pretty disoriented and then she was running around on a partially frozen river... I currently have a ruff...

Has anyone here found a great option for securing two dogs in the back of a Runner? I have a hard time stomaching the $900+ custom double dog crates and feel like that might add too much weight being their mostly steel. This would be for a couple of Drahts or GSPs in the 60-70lb range.

Thanks for the input everyone. I've been tied up as far as time goes since I got all the fluids changed since getting the skids off. I'm hoping to get everything drilled out and plan on re-tapping and reinstalling the skids when I can do a full brake job here in the next week or two. Anyone...

Looking for some advice or options for reattaching my skids. I hit every bolt with PB Blaster etc for the last week and yet almost every bolt has snapped off. Just looking for options to: a) reattach the skids b) removing busted bolts c) I've got two bolts "loosened" but they just spin...

Thanks for the input. I've got everything ordered up. I won't have a ton of weight in the back so I went with 895 springs for the rear and 885 for the front. I'm not so concerned with the rake just as long as it's not reversed. I figure if it seems a bit low, I'll maybe put a 1/2" spacer in...

Alright, I’ve read...and read...searched some more and read some more but I’d like some input directly on my scenario. Wife crashed the 07 SR5 so it is now becoming my dedicated hunting rig. It needs new suspension all around and I am adding a Coastal Offroad bumper shortly with full hoops (110...

Greetings from Northern WI. My wife and I just picked up an 01 in immaculate shape for a town driver here in the winter but it looks like we're going to have to make a few improvements right off the bat. The vehicle was test driven and purchased by my father since we weren't able to take a...
