damn dude you dont get pulled over for having that much tire sticking out?

 

big air tanks that are used to help seat a bead by blowing air in and forcing the sidewall out.(i think thats how they work lol)

 

Nah NC doesnt have a law on tire width but the troopers hate on pipes and if they cant see throught your window tint

 

man 9.yota.4 i always loved your truck, but IMO it looks wayy better with the 12.5s on there. black and camo should be badass though

 

oo thanks. now are mine silver or smoked? might just get a complete kit

 

I second that i would just save a lil longer to get the extra hundred that way your tires dont look like balloons. But if you like that look go for it man its your truck don't matter if anyone else likes it as long as you do

 

Nice work, Desert! Like the skid too, did you make it?

 

I bought this on friday, 1988 4 Runner 22re 5 spd. Swapped out the wheels/tires 31x10.5 SXT MT's with my 71 FJ40...now the FJ40 can get new bigger tires . The fist pic is when I brought it home with the old wheel/tire combo on it. It has 153k original miles, very clean inside, not a rip in the headliners a small crack on pass side dash. A cheap "Macho" paint job some PO did supposedly for faded paint...he didn't paint the top of the cab, it works

 

Yeah bud, thats how it works. Tire width should always be wider than your rim, if not then the bead wont set or if it does it will look ballooned out...fat in the middle (wheel) and narrow at each end...like so () if its too wide of a tire for the wheel (rim) then it would do the opposite...)(. I don't know the ratio of tire to wheel but there is a range you have to stay in for it to work. Maybe you did a typo and meant wider....and no, it wasnt me who said I was putting on 13.5 tires on 14's...I like tall skinnies like 33x9.5's Cheers

 

I understand that. In fact, I know this very well. Actually, you posted about putting a 13.5 inch tire on a 14 inch wide rim. So...........

 

Amen to that, thats why i went with 35% on my side windows

 

I got 5% on my windows now but when it gets painted its getting 2.5% and a heck of a tint strip and i am still undecided on rims in tires i think i want to keep my black rims and go 35 13.50s and sit kinda tall lol.

 

My opinion, drivers windows should have no tint. Thats all I have to say.

 

2.5% your insane lol

 

Heres some progress on my half doors

 

can i ask why? also whats the hottest it gets where you live?

 

gets 100+ where i live. wish it was legal to tint front windows. i have it done on my weekend car that i hardly drive

 

zach: those doors look amazing! can't wait to see them finished

 

it gets over a 100 here too. and the only reason i havent tinted the hell out of my windows is that, when its hot, i dont have windows. or a top, or doors for that matter. lol

 

Thanks Ian! I can't wait to have them done either. Theyll be killer. Im gonna paint them desert tan I think. Finally some real mods to the truck after over a year hahaha.
