That's a good excuse. I saw on FB you had a football/pool party. I don't know about rooting for the chargers (go broncos)... but I wish I could have been there for the pool party. :thumbup:Quote:

I have narrowed down my tire selection to one of the three: BFG MT, Geolander MT or Toyo Open Country MT. I thought AT would be my choice but seeing the MT on a friends jeep....... gotta have it. So the size I'm going for is LT285/75R16 (33"). Waiting now for final pricing on the Toyo's.
And the winner is: TAADAAAA!!http://i46.tinypic.com/23rmhc4.jpg
Nice, I ran the Toyos on my Tundra. It's a good tire especially if you plan on driving pavement most of the time. Smooth and quiet for an MT. :yesb:
Don't touch it man! what are you thinkin? these puv are collectable, thats one of the cleanest I've seen. Why OH why would you want to loose gas milage and distroy something as nice as that? I just don't understand WHY!
Beauty is in the eye of the keyholder!!!Quote:

...but it really depends on your idea of collectible. :_confused
I'm not doing anything that can't be undone. If you have watched the Barrett Jackson auctions, you might notice that the customized cars go for more than the stock cars. But if you would like to give me $20 grand for my baby I will stop. :)Quote:

The point I'm making is: it's all subjective, and I quote...
"the world don't mooooove, to the beat of just one drum...what might be right for you, might not be right for suuuuh-m"...:laughing:
Today the tires got mounted on the wheels. Tomorrow they get fitted to the car (just leaning against the existing wheel for now.) Oooooh, I'm so excited, I won't sleep at all tonight.

HOLY BEHEEZERS DAWG_ Gnarley Dude!! :thumbup:
sorry for the late post here, and even more sorry for the TJ to maddawg, but...
how come no one ever looks at swapping their front IFS to something with more readily available gears and lockers?? (i know Alan-bigmeatvx, swapped his front IFS for a dana 44 IFS, and therefore opened up more options for parts?)
Wouldnt it be relatively easy to drop a IFS out of a vehicle with the same amount of splines on the CV axles? If the CV axles plug in, you make brackets to mount it, and you make an adapter to get the driveshaft to work?
I guess i've been getting more into swapping stuff off other vehicles rather than keeping stuff that breaks and keep on fixing it. Maybe thats the thoughts of an SAS on my own vehicle speaking, i dunno.
Yup...
Thats gonna look OK......:p
OK..as in Freak'n awesome.
Nice ...and all ready for Moab next year :clap:
You, me & frankd....road trip!
Jo
I don't believe Alan ever actually completed the swap. He looked into it and was collecting parts but I believe that was as far as it got. He was also planning on changing out the spinddles and going to use larger (bigger spline count) shafts.
If you're going to do all that you might as well do a SAS unless you love ifs that much. :)
