lol I know I'm liking those tires more and more every time I wheel with Jon. Prob gonna be looking for a used set of tires in the near future. I don't know how my rear tires are still holding up to the abuse. It's either find a used set of something, or get two new MTZ's. The front tires still have a lot of life left in them.

(for those that don't know, last year someone came through our work parking lot and slashed a tire on every car in the lot. That's why I have newer tires in front and older in the rear, since I had to replace the slashed one.)

huh. I was under the impression that cali sucks and the people that live there are nutjobs. Thats clearly just from hollywood down south. Your wheelin definitely rivals what we have here in co. Nice work! and nice freakin T4. I dont lift my vehicles anymore, but damn if this doesnt make me want to order a lift right NOW. :nicethread:

Hahaha thanks, I appreciate the comments. I like the fact that there are many more built toyotas up here to wheel with, and the amount of trails up here somewhat close to me. The camping is great too. Arizona is nice but I was just sick of the desert.

 

[MtnT4R]

Yeah you guys know how to build em right. We dont see that kind of hardware around here a lot, theyre all down in Moab. wheelin, campin, cant beat it! I know a bit about summertime in the desert, and I cant say I blame you. Unless of course I'm submerged up to my neck in lake powell with a frosty beer and a water gun.

400k is just crazy man. I dont know why I screwed around with ford, dodge, audi, gmc.....here's to 500k! :beer:

Got my 1.25" wheel spacers in today and installed them in prep for the new 315/75r16 IROK Non-Directionals I ordered. They should be here Wednesday. Gonna try and get some extended bumpstops in by next week and get my POS skidplate unbent and back on.

Could have gone with some 1.5" but from my measuring I should still have a little over 0.50" clearance between tire and UCA. (the MTZ's were 11.9" wide, the IROK's are 12.5"). I was a little worried at first, but I should be fine.

i didnt even use spacers for my 35s, 3 inch back spacing ftw

that's what she said

 

[downpour11]

Went down to a friend's shop and he cut some tubing, a couple square plates, and drilled em for me. Then I welded everything together and attached my bumpstops. Finally, I have extended my bumpstops.



Don't make fun of my craptastic welds. I did the welds in the pic above, which came out nice. But laying down trying to weld in tight places, not so good. They work for now
