So heres some pics of my dash all back together. Got the light hooked up, and the cig lighter works well. Its more like a constant 12v power source cause I dont need the key on.

But on another note, my speedo quit on me today and Im trying to figure that one out.

Thanks guys. Gotta work quick when its your daily.

But I just started a new job make way more money than where I was so after Christmas my list of stuff I want done should shrink with the quickness.

Also what are some of yalls opinions on the Goodyear wrangler mar Kevlar and the bfg mt km2's? Looking to get new tires is one thing on my list.

I believe I ordered it from Japan engines. Ordered the head from there too.

I was think about going back with the 32/11.50 or going a lil wider or going up to a 33. I plan to do bj spacers w/ add a leaf, and sone diff drop brackets to get the cv angles back right.

Nice these toyotas look really good with 33s on them. I wanna go to 35s on mine eventually. I noticed you have a CB radio in there do you talk to the truckers? Oh and why are you only looking at the bfgs to put on

Ya I was thinking 33's and go a lil wider, but idk if I would have any problems with rubbing. Or just go wider and stick with 32's. No I actually took the cb out the po left it in there but took the cb antenna. I don't have any use for one so its just sitting in my closet on a shelf.

I had bfg a/t's on my 2wd ford I had and was thinking about getting the km2s when I go to get new tires for the yota. I didn't like how the a/t's caked up super quick. But I was doing sone reading on the gy wrangler mtrs w/kevlar and was really thinking about getting them over the km2s. I looked for a review of the mtrs on here but didn't see one.

if your looking for a more off-road tire check out toyo mts or the mickey thompson baja claws they both do really well. another tire that I have seen that look like a good on/off road tire are the general tire grabbers.

Worked with a guy that had a set of toyos on a z71 and they where wearing out fast and a few other ppl there had them and said they weren't as good as they made out to be. The main reason I was looking at those two tires is cause they have a lot of road life.
