Meanest Looking Tires...but conservative, ya' know?

I'm currently in lust with my Yokohama Geolander M/T+'s. Look bad *** and handle great on and off road. They are a smidge noisy but my gears are louder, so eh.

Of course I didn't notice the second page where you already ordered you goodies.

What have I been doing while you all have been having fun in Moab? I'm glad you asked!

I lifted my VX too high, and now I can't get it out of the garage.



Kidding! The lens and the angle make it look worse than it actually is. I'm gonna scrape some antennas, I don't think I'll lose the roof rack anytime soon.

Here's some wisdom for anyone wanting to follow me:

• Specs Lie - Those wheels should have fit with plenty of room to spare. In truth those allen bolts are just a little bit too tall.
• Ace Hardware Sucks - When you need 12 bolts, they'll only have five. It is only after you've been to three locations to collect all 12 that you'll realize that they're Grade 8.
• There are places that only sell metric - And they are awesome.
• The factory wheels have a 100mm bore - and not a millimeter more. So while those hex bolts are flat enough, now they're just a tiny bit too large to put the factory wheels back on.
• Did I say flat enough? - Sorry, I meant that you're still going to have to polish off the Grade markings to get those wheels to fit. Argh!
• Do your cutting and bashing first - Driving home from the tire shop without being able to make a right hand turn is...stupid. I did the cutting, but not enough, apparently.
• I owe TaylorRichie and rickshaw a beer - Probably multiple beers. Riff Raff, too. And I think jeeperkate is going on the IOU list soon, too.

I feel I may have gone overboard on this one... But I think it looks damn nice! We'll see what evils I have done once I have it all trimmed, aligned, bashed, oilchanged, PCV-swapped, etc...
