I didn't use square tubing but put a slight angle pushing out. Kinda a taper from the front to the rear. Didn't want stuff passing the front tires and catching sliders but wanted them to easy the impact from obsticle hitting back tires as it passes. Hope that makes sense what I'm trying to explain. Was a trailgear kit.

thanks wheeler!

there great! they ride decent, air down well, good traction on all surfaces. awesome in the snow. my friends call my truck a snow mobile now lol. imo there the best all around tire out there. they do lack that tractor track like traction in mud that only boggers posses.

Awesome Truck! Your truck is one of my favorite yotas! How much lift do you have on it to fit those 36s?

Hows the 5.29s and the 36s working for you? I'll be going that route by the end of this year, just torn between 36" Iroks or TSL now.

@ 87 toyota..thanks man! it started out as 8 inches all together, 3" body and 5" springs. the springs have settled a lil becouse of the stuff i carry and my heavy bumpers.

but you do not "need" all the lift i have. i could have fit them with just the spring lift but i already had the BL installed so i left it on.

@ 4bangin, the combo works great. i can cruise down the highway in 5th no problem. any big hills and I'm still downshifting of course lol, its still a toyota.

Sweet deal, still highway-able. Guesstimate at what RPM at say 60-65 mph crusing?

Iroks are great tires. I went with radials to get a better ride on the street. The pattern looks about the same to me.

your right the tread does look the same.

there is some difference between the two. the bias is almost 1" taller, and has a 4ply sidewall while the radial only has a 2ply. and the bias ply's also weigh 15lbs less per tire than the radials.

what i think is weird is that my 36" bias irok's are taller than the 37" bias irok's.

by the way nice truck!

Those are some badass angles on the CVs. Do you run your truck in 4 wheel drive like that? How often do you go through them?

And by the way, I'm envious of both of you guys. I wanted 36x13.50 Irok Radials really bad for my 4runner. But I couldn't scrape up the extra money. My 35x12.50 Radial Claws were way cheaper. I was afraid the Irok Radials wouldn't last as long as Claws either just because they're swampers. Any mileage reports?
