Thanks to Gary (harper7) my 4 is lifted! We did the install about two weeks ago and I couldn't be happier with the results. Tires are next on the list.

Thanks for the pic, Gary.

Looks awesome. Do they even make the volks to fit in this size anymore? I know you pulled them from another car.

What tires will you get?

They do, but its a special order from Mackin Industries. Most dealers can get 18x8, 18x9, and 18x9.5 in our lug pattern.

Andries set up my kit for offroad towing, and long trips, it works absolutely great! You're a genius!

Mike Morton installed and dialed-in the kit @ Bar M Offroad in Katy Texas, Thanks Mike!

What are people doing for their spare when they have upsized wheels?

Are you just going to put the smaller spare on and hope your drive-train doesn't collapse?

 

[NTUR4]

Tow truck or upgrade to a full-size spare

use this and keep going:


there's a truck-u video on the home page that shows what's in the can:
Fix-A-Flat - Car Care Products- A easy way to fix a flat tire

a 285-70/17 spare is possible (and this is a cool thread):

Andries @ Overland Warehouse can design a kit that will tow off-road. Compression damping and rebound adjustments are required if you are doing serious off-road towing (3000#+). You can give him a call and tell him the loads, he will calculate the adjustments and have a kit built to your specs. I just installed his kit on my TE and towed to/through my deer lease (400# people, 400# cargo, 350# tongue wt, 3000# trailer, logging roads with fire breaks and sand washes; 2 miles in & out), it was amazingly well behaved. Bear in mind, the V6 is not a torque monster, it's bit small for any real towing. A good suspension is not going to change that.

I see you went with the 700lb spring rate. How is the ride? I am thinking about purchasing OW kit and have the choice of 650lb or 700lb rate.

It rides like a truck now. The stock TE felt a lot like a car to me. If you Call Andries at OW he can give you a better perspective than I can. Talk to him about what you want, I'm sure he can design a kit that meets your needs.

Actually met with Andries, he needed to see the SR5 for measurements. I went with the 2.5 kit with 700 lb coil, due to the most likely upgrading of bumpers down the road, but valve the rear shocks slightly harder to give a better ride due to my truck being a stock daily driver now. Super nice guy, explaining how everything works. Plus he is going to help me with the install.

just installed ICON Stage 2 suspension and sold my 275/55 Hankook Dynapros for 33x12.5x20 (295/55/20) Nitto Trail Grappler MTs

I am a Salesperson at Gene Messer Toyota, Just Bought an SR5 V6 4x4 (8664)..

Spray paint. Do a search and you'll find 2-3 threads on it.

I'm no fan of salesmen, but that's a bit over the line. Everyone has a job to do, families to feed, bills to pay, etc. This guy hasn't don't anything to you and doesn't deserve to be a punching bag.

Pretty boring compared to some on here. And I know the white letters are on the outside! I love the retro look.
