Today:
Removed 1.5" wheel spacers from all four wheels due to my 285x75x16 not fitting well with them on.
What happened? Well in the desert I hit a bunch of stupid mogals and ended up bottoming out my front end. Because of the size of the tires and spacers (which I had originally bought to go with my 265s) my wheels popped off both L and R side limited fender flares AND bent my passenger front panel so much that I think I will need to replace it. That alone wasn't the end of the world, probably $200-$300 to fix on the cheap.
BuT .... I also found out today, due to my visual inspection, that I need the following replaced ASAP:
* outer tie rods
* inner tie rods (might as well do at same time)
* rear axel seals and rear brakes (last time I did them was about 80,000 miles ago)
I also likely need in near future:
New upper control arms
Lower control arms
Ahhhhhhbhhhh!
