Go work on a Chevy IFS. Lots of stuff on Toyota's makes more sense & is easier.

 

X2, had to work on an 86 F150 today...simple clutch job is turning into a 2 day excursion

 

Ya, some stuff we work on at school that are fords and chevy's are reral confusing and then we got a toyota in and what we had to do looked complicated but once we got in there everything was really simple, it was nice.

 

Had the new tires down a gravel road today to see how they acted and all that good stuff and we ended up coming across a rail road track and got a pretty cool pic so you no, I just thought i would post it up

 

Looks good as hell, how much milage did you loose?

I'm debating on 10.50's or saying screw it and 12.50's right now.

 

I really haven't lost to much milage, the main place you notice it is when u stop and go, like in town and neiborhoods, but other than that not to bad. And plus the 12.50's give it a wider stance which i think helps add to the appearance of the runners, but that might just be me

 

So, for part of my graduation present from my parents they let me drive the 4runner down to OBX, a 6 hour drive. And i was amazed how well she ran all the way down here with the bigger tires. She cruised right down the highway doing 65 -70 the whole way no problems. Then we got down to the beach and got to test out the tires on the sand. I let out a couple pounds so i was running 30 and they weren't bad but would had done better if i had a little more power to push her around, but i can't complain. Ill get some pics up when i get back home.

 

You were airing down to 30? I take it you didn't do the chalk test yet did you? You might wanna so you can put some wear on the side tread too

Glad to hear you're happy with the KM2's - someday when I feel like dropping the cash, I might splurge on a set.

 

looks great! i think my next set will be the KM2's, I really like the look of them, but first a front tube bumper...

 

Ya i think im going to go with some rock sliders next then bumbers. But ya i was running 35 for the trip down here, and with that they weren't wearing to bad, but when i get back home im gonna do the chalk test.

And ya i am extremely happy with the KM2's, defiantly a top end product for suck a wide range tire.

 

Wheres the new pics?

 

Haven't able to get up the new pictures up yet, but plan to when i get home (sunday). But i was out on the beach tonight and when i got there, there was this little ford ranger that was buried down to his rear axle, his 4wheel drive stopped working. So i when up and pulled him out from behind and me and this 89 saburban on 36X16.50 tried to take him out but we couldn't. So we backed back down and the gmc just gave him hell and pulled him out 3 wheeling it the whole way out. I wasn't able to get any pictures of that but it was a sight.

But with all this i had a question. so after that i was drving down the beach and my AT oil temp light came back on so i let her idle in P for 10 mins and she didn't go off so i turned it off and it went away when but when i was heading back i could feel the heat coming through the floor board so i was wondering if putting syn. tranny oil in her would help keep the tranny cool?

 

Do you have a tranny cooler?

I dont know much about the auto tranny that came with our trucks but, i dont think syn oil will make a difference, maybe just shift better and last longer.

 

I got a transmission cooler from uhaul for like $40, A/T Temp Light hasn't been on since and it was a breeze to install.

 

$46, my bad. http://store.uhaul.com/product_detail.aspx?id=106

 

Alright i might have to look into one of them where did u mount it?

 

And here are a couple pictures i had of her i said i would put up enjoy.

 

sweet pics man...taht pic where it has the T/A in the sand is just BA!

 

Very nice!

 

How did those tires do in the sand? Any problems with them digging?

x2 on that TA pic.
