My last new vehicle was the first redesign year 2007 tundra. Iced the dealer down to $1,600 for 7yr/100k bumper to bumper. Then I learned a process: 1) 'hey I hear this thing or noticed that thing'- never anything major but enough to make me wonder 2) consult the interwebs...

I don't think that gas piston on the gate is to help hold it up...they're not designed for forces perpendicular to them...that's what the hinges are for... But no, for the record, I'm with you, I don't want saggy anythings. Also agree with Jeep poster that the orange/blue/what-color-will-they...

Carbonized gray base 2dr...

These. 17x8.5" +35mm. Liking them so far for my carbonized gray 2dr base. Now I just have to build up the nerves again to go for 285/70r17 load range C ridge grapplers and see if anything rubs...

Laser measurements from dealer day. 4dr OB front axle crash bars (fore and aft). My alien fingers are 3" wide at mid knuckles and 3-1/2" main width. My gut says bottoming out/bump stop too-short is the biggest risk.

Not trying to troll this thread. I genuinely appreciate the hard work @North7 and related conversation. And per prior post, I have eggs in a basket of sorts that haven't hatched yet. That said, I have to ask, how would I lose some ground clearance by fitting larger wheels & tires (without doing...

Firstly, requisite thank you to @North7 for this compilation thread and to all for follow-on discussion. But I'm not sure a zero offset "better balances the forces..." (?) As many have pointed out on other topics, Ford likely didn't pick +55/+30mm as their only two wheel offsets in a myriad of...

What 5280 said. Turning. All kinds of suspension geometry questions that are over my head. Stress on wheel bearings. You *might be fine*. But at -38mm you're moving outward something like 3" (minus rim lip) from stock (except SAS) +55mm wheels. Ford used specific offsets (+55mm typical/+30mm...

I'll have some bronco base silver steelies available (fingers crossed) soonish. 6/28 production. Let's make a deal, then do it right- quick sandblast to give more bite for white powdercoat. Perfect fit and factory center caps. Just ordered method 703 in bronze (+35mm) and will be going on...

My swap for base tires is looking like it will soon be Ridges in 285/70r17... Here is my own twist to this thread, requisite apology if discussed ad nauseum in other threads I have not been able to find: I want load range C and plan to start practicing airing down in somehwat sharp terrain...

GKG!!!

2dr base (MIC 😬), build date as far as I'm willing to trust anyone is still 6/28 per first email I received.

1st place: best graphical representation of my quandary 😆 Alot of great feedback from the internet here. Consensus: I'm lazy/not trying hard enough. I did previously let the revs die off before going to neutral. But I shall now also rev match and downshift!

In the section about maximizing fuel economy, the driver's manual suggests: "Do not shift into neutral when you are braking or when your vehicle is slowing down" My questions are: 1) Do they mean this regardless of MT or AT? 2) Is fuel economy affected by this due to the fact the engine is...

Hopefully a dumb, maybe already-answered, question: does start/stop engage if you're _rolling/coasting_ in neutral? I prefer changing brake pads more often to prolong clutch life and so generally avoid downshifting when coming to a stop...maybe I'm doing it wrong...but if start/stop gets in...

Are those sasquatch wheels/35s? Or badlands 33s? I think the one above it, just vehicle out of view for most part, is sasquatch...but what about the main one?

Angelina's Crack (near Turtlehead Jr./Red Cap), Red Rock Canyon, Las Vegas, NV

Havasupai Reservation, AZ Pics of all the falls here somewhere...

What is the lug pattern on those? Offset going wrong direction... But I like them...

Are those soccer balls or fog lamps? :unsure:
