those military tires are incredibly heavy and those custom built military wheels are super heavy too. I wouldn't be surprised to see a large drop in MPGs. Hard on suspension components, steering etc... I considered running them, but I just couldn't come up with enough pros in my mind.

There on 16.5 steelies I wasnt thinking about running them on the road. The weight of them worries me

I dont know the width of the rim, I have also read somewhere else that these tires will pop off the bead when aired down without beadlocks. And right now I dont have that big of a need for beadlocks ha

Hes asking 1200 I offered him 800 and then he met me in the middle at 1000. I told him id think about it

If you run them off road and air down any 16.5's will loose a bead without beadlocks a lot easier than any others. You would want hummer double beadlocks, but i think they're heavy or some kind of beadlocks for wheeling.

I love posing for pictures
Have you had the starters tested to make sure its not in your wiring or battery cables, what brand of starter are you using?? I would go with oem toyota.

Before i could check my starter i lost all pressure in my clutch. I though my slave had gone bad because I just replaced the master not to long ago. So i replaced slave and bleed the lines really good and still no pressure in the clutch. The pedal goes to the floor and stays there. Im thinking about replacing the master with the old one because it was still good but does anyone have an idea I could look for.

I opened the bleeder on the slave and pumped the pushrod for 30 mins by hand and not very much oil came out

Idk who it was but that's definitely the truck. I was checking it out in the parking lot. And I was in PA so that's just tops my suspicion
