who wants to go wheeling?

Since this is a evening\night run, we'll likely stick to the normal trail. I don't like running new trails in the dark, even with [MENTION=100116]D Farms[/MENTION] blazing rays o' death lightbar up in front.

Survey Says???

Survey says... They fit like they were meant to be on there! These are the BFG KO2s in 34/10.5R17 which are a 33.5 inch tire that happens to be right about the stock tire width. So... here's the before pic...



And here's the after:

Absolutely, zero, zilch, nada rubbing. Stock SR5 rims. OMG!!! I'm floored. I expected to need a BMC and serious trimming of the front fender and wheel well. Nope. Perfect! I'm stoked!

I got two of the three sections done, one is 7.5 degree spot the other is 15 degree for a total of 400 watts. should be fun.

first picture is my high beams, second is the led bar.

So... got the alignment done this morning and corrected some of the knockabout that's happened over the past couple of months of wheeling it. Had the tech push the caster as far forward as possible and as luck would have it... Now they rub. hahaha! Just a touch on the front fender liner and only in full lock in reverse. I'll probably have them back the caster back to around 1 degree rather than 2... but it will be fine for now. Or I may just put a heat gun on it and push it out.

I would recommend trimming, melting, reforming vs. adjusting the caster lower. You may not like how it drives with caster that low.

It was running pretty good, even on the highway, with the caster close to zero. So, a compromise to 1.0 wouldn't be terrible. With that said, the rub is so minimal that I'll probably just leave it alone until the tires wear down a 1/16 of an inch or so.

Welcome to the Arizona 4Runner gang. I see you're way out on the west side... There are a number of trails out your way that should be stock friendly... You can head up towards Lake Pleasant and tool around the numerous trails that are out there or you can head over to table mesa road off of the I-17. Heading further west there are some out around the White Tanks. Looks like Tower road goes straight through the white tanks. I've never been on that one though and can't tell you how hard it would be. Our group typically wheels out around Saguaro Lake (Butcher Jones and the Rolls OHV area) or down towards Florence. Just easier for us East Siders. I do want to plan a Crown King run at some point this fall (Yes [MENTION=100116]D Farms[/MENTION]... finally). So that might be a good one to come along on.

Be careful though, our monsoon rains have washed out many of the trails making the easy ones more difficult. Your best bet is to go out with someone who knows the trail you are running and can be there to get you unstuck or get you back to civilization if you get stuck beyond recovery or break your truck. :thumb:

I didn't know we had anything planned in the first place... :-) I'm not sure if I can make it on Friday... Though, I might be putting together a run up to Payson to hit Payette Draw on Saturday.

Someday we're going to see a Before/After pic of [MENTION=116114]cf_coder[/MENTION]'s rig like this:




:biggrin1:
 
[MENTION=112004]lofreqjeff[/MENTION] I don't know if I'll go as far as getting the front end face lift. I may do something in the back to get the spare tire out from under the vehicle. If I did get a front bumper it would be the Southern Slimline one just so I could mount a winch and maybe a small lightbar. :p

In the meantime, I still need to pay off all the crap I've done so far...

Champagne on a beer budget man. If I hadn't found that deal on the suspension, I'd still be rolling dirty on my stock system... LOL. Maybe if they made them out of beer can aluminum? :thumb:

Thanks for the info bud. I've done a few trips with my bro, out this way in his ohv. Gone to Alamo lake pretty cool trip. Done a few things around lake pleasant. One I would really like to try is crown king. There is also a nice trip around Prescott, Senator and walker rd loop that I did in my '12 tundra.
 
its fascinating how little the public understands about what the **** 3d printing is, and what its good for.
