Perhaps beadlock discussion deserves another thread, but I got rear-ended out here and the cop made an effort to say nice wheels when he was looking over my truck.

I also pulled the 1" BL out a few months ago so the truck is really low, maybe 4" over stock or so. I figure 2" from the tires and another 2" from the suspension. Sidehills still scare me though.

Older thread, but it was linked in a newer one.. .looks sweet.. 34's and low COG... very nice...

but FWIW, BFG 35's are 34.8, that a bit more than a hair larger than 34...

I have a brand new BFG 35/12.5/17 sitting right next to my brand new spare Maxxis 305/70/17 and they are damn near exactly the same height and width (maybe 1/8" off at most). Both tires are mounted on 8" wide rims as well.

AH64ID · 10-18-2006, 10:45 AM

Well then your Maxxis are taller than advertised.. My 35 BFG Muds are about 1.25" taller than my old 33 TSL swapmers.. which are 33.7...

The Maxxis advertises 34.0 Tall, the BFG 34.8...

heck yeah, its nice. i replied to your pm again also.

rcars4life · 10-22-2006, 09:12 PM

Just wondering what everyone thought of having such big tires, I want to do it but I'm afraid of more damage to joints bearings cv's brakes etc due to the heavier mass. Whats everyones experiences, pro's con's. Thanks!

If your not a skinny pedal junky, and dont spin the tires to much when they are in the air and come down on it you should be fine is what I have gathered.

I went to 35's about two years ago, but maybe only have 5000 miles on em, but some wheeling time too.. I love em. On road there isnt much differnce between 33 and 35, but offroad its HUGE, I dont remember 33's being this much better than 31's.... As far as the front end, if you drive smart you shouldnt have a problem. I have a 22RE, and breaking a CV was the last thing on my mind, but when I went to 35's I did start carrying a spare on long runs. Just have to be concious, full throttle runs at full lock.. maybe not a good idea. Before I decided to sell my 92 I was going to crawlerbox it, the added gearing in my mind would have made it harder to break the CV, as I would be able to go slower with more control.

As far as bearings.. I dont think its an issue. 3rd gens do have sealed bearings, so they might wear sooner. But on my 92 I just repack em every year in amsoil grease and they are fine.

You do notice it braking thou.. and I have 4runner brakes on my p/u.

SC4Runner · 10-23-2006, 08:12 AM

I think my front bearings are going. I hear a "squeek squeek squeek" now. I have no idea how to fix the squeak though, its driving me nuts!

rcars4life · 10-24-2006, 12:01 AM

Right now I am still on stock wheels and tires but I would love some 35's. You guys say they are great off road, what makes them great in your opinion? Is it the stability, traction, or what? I assume they would be sweet but I have no idea, only my imagination. Hey sc4runner what is your squeek sound, brakes or wheel bearing? did you figure it out? How long have you been running those tires, thanks!

H-man · 10-24-2006, 12:31 AM

Sean, great job, very clean! quick question though, sorry if im not paying attention but i want to do the exact same thing to my 2000 4 runner and i wasnt clear as to whether you are currently running a body lift or not with your current setup, i dont think you are but i wanted to be sure? i havent lifted my body yet but in just looking at mine i didnt think a 35 would fit and still have full compression, great write up by the way
thanks

Yes...

I think the extra diff clearnce is huge, espically in snow, and rutted trails. Even when at 10-14psi my sidewalls dont flex much, but I still have the low psi traction. The added height makes it easier to climb boulders, ledges, etc. Becaus e the sidewall is taller it can support more weight at lower psi, thus stability is improved at low psi settings...

All around they are noticiblly better than 33's.

kcebes · 10-24-2006, 11:10 AM

Do the Maxxis tires have raised white lettering on both sides or is one side black and another side white? This is the first i've seen these and i'm looking at getting 33's.

they have black letters on the other side.

fireteacher · 10-25-2006, 07:04 PM

looks great and the bead locks set it on fire. nice job!

rcars4life · 10-26-2006, 12:42 AM

I plan to run 35's and intend to do the extensive trimming like TLT and I was wondering what other suspension set up's would work, I want to do it with no bl if possible. TLT is using sway-a-way but those are expensive i'm assuming since I can't find a price anywhere (maybe its one of those "if you have to ask you can't afford it" things?)

Jdizzydub · 01-29-2008, 03:07 AM

Awesome man! That's one badd 3rd gen. I was trying on sat to throw on 35's with the extra cash i had saved, but they couldn't even bolt the suckers up and were trying to talk me into new wheels...it's finally nice to know what it's gonna take to run those bad boys. Great write up and nice job! I thought i saw aftermarket UCA's what kind are those and how much do they run?
