Most recent. Sittin with my new pup just thinkin


Slapped on my roomates 37s to get some backspacing ideas for wheels


Roomates son devin helpin out with the tire swap lol smart little kid loves wheelin, monster trucks, and dinasours. He got a 50cc dirtbike for his 3rd bday he can't wait to ride. My 39 next to the 37s


And my new pup bullet I got a few months back

 

Need some stock fenders and I'm gonna dove the front when I cage it so hood and fenders will get to me the mighty saw haha.

 

One more pic of my pup with my brothers dog right before she lost her life in a freak accident. She was just about to turn two when she was chasing her frisbee and ran head first looking the other way into a parked car she caught the frisbee but didn't see the car and broke her neck and damaged her brainstem which controled her breathing. She had to be put down. I was out of town about a day away heading home and never got to say goodbye. Took a huge toll on myself and entire family. She was the greatest dog in the world. I plan on designing a ball machine in her memory and hope to raise funds for animal hospitals and other things like cancer research. Hope to make one soon and ill be sure to post all about it one day when I do. Rip emma

 

ok thanks for the reply lol. i like the iroks but im just not sure if they will be to good for a DD? like i drive almost everyday and fill up my truck every week and a half so im thinking iroks wont last too long? im just not sure if the km2 will work ether, i want a wider looking tire like a original tsl and irok but i want is a radial m/t more street friendly you know? i saw your bfg's when you first sas'd and your right they where to skinny. do you think a 10" wide rim would make them look better? i guess if im running 3" springs it would be lower and not as noticable hey. anyways just shooting some thoughts around, hell i never stop thinking about how im going to build my yota lol. oyah you know what i kinda found gay... 37" km2's and MTR's only fit 17" rims?? i want to run 15" haha. iroks are all 15"?. but yeah looking like its 3" springs and 35"s for now hehe.

cutting the fenders isn't a problem ether. cut maybe an inch or so round the wheel wells, hammer pinch weld, and put the axle ahead an inch or so . like i want to keep the runner a little clean, not going to chop it to pieces haha. btw im liking how yours is sitting in those pics and that 4.3 must be awesome hehehe. im telling you going from the 22re to the 3vze is enjoyable in the power department

nice dog btw! sorry to hear about emma looks like cool dog

 

they sell radial iroks I think they are 36 but truer to size. my old 37s bias ply measured 34. what a joke. but a nice tire. I run a 10" wide wheel and plan on beadlocks soon so it will be just a little wider after that. Iroks ride pretty nice on the road. I dont much like the BFGs anymore. MTRs are pretty good and nice on the road my friend had some older 35s and loved them. To get a little wider stance aswell u can run a smaller Backspacing and that will stick the wheel out a little farther. will put a little more stress on the axles and hub stuff but just keep ur bolts tight and everything lubed well. I like clean lookin rigs I wanted to keep mine looking kinda like a 4runner and always wanted to chop the roof since I saw the ORS's rig years ago. I LOVE the 4.3 great power cheap parts and easy to work on. Love it

 

yeah.. radial iroks are so expensive lol that's BS that the came out as 34's??? yeah im hearing go 10" if you want a wider look so im going to go 15x10 d windows, but what backspacing should i go? i hear allot go with 3.75.. too much idk. i dont want to put too much stress on the wheel bearings but deffs have a certain look in mind . i like the MTR's but if you want any high than 35" tire it says you have to run a 17" and up rim? i want 15" haha but the regular MTR wrangler seems like u can get it in a 37" with a 15" rim so idk lol. check out cootees build https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f152...as-142970-new/ He runs 3" front and 37" old MTR's. i like that But check this out too https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f198...thread-206398/ love the original swampers my favorite looking tire bar none but they ride like poo apparently? should i care lmao only live once right . its funny those 35"x15.15"s look bigger than cootees 37" MTR's?? those swampers are going to destroy my milage too since they are so wide hey? OK one more thought lol should i bother running the stock front 3rd member or should find a v6 third right away and gear that instead? v6's carriers are stronger but do you think it will be a huge factor? put it this way as soon as i have the funds the front axle is getting longs to be safe and an arb locker so would it make sense to just pick up a 4.10 v6 third and 5.29 it? i will leave you with that lol i could keep going but your probs getting tired of me lmao

 

I wouldnt really worry too much about a v6 third up front. be nice if u could pick one up but wont really need it IMO. Definetly get some longs tho and the inner hub gear to get the warranty. I dont like the 3.75 bs becuase its stock I believe and not wide. I ran 2.5bs in the pics with my 37s you can find in my first build thread. the 37s in the pics above i believe they are about 3" maybe 2.75. I want even just a hair wider stance than those wheels give me. the 39s I have, have the 3.75bs im almost certain and dont like that stance as its way to skinny and I rub during flex in the rear off my frame. And ive never heard that u need 17" wheels for the bfgs and MTRs. thats weird but i havent searched those tires in years so may have changed since then lol. Original swampers are sick. My friend loves his set of 37 tsl's and they preform really well. Firestone destinations are also a real nice tire for the price and they make a 35. One of my friends swears by them and Ive got a set of their AT's on my tow rig and absolutly love them. My roomate works for firestone and we talk tires all the time haha. No prob about the questions lol I love talking bout trucks and ideas. I odnt always have the best answeres but ill give you my opinion about whatever if I can

 

ok im just going to run the 4cyl diff then, save me some money too yeah longs are going to happen like right after i get the SAS and everything working good, im not the type of guy that likes to go 4x4ing and know somethings weak but just ignore it lol. i think stock is 4" bs but im not sure ether hah. yeah i read you first build too, the km's looked good but your right too skinny, would 10" wide rim fix that a bit? so i should run 2.5 bs and it should be good? i agree kick your wheels out a bit more, fix the rubbing and make it more stable . about the MTR's its the new mtr's the kevlar ones that are 17" rims for 37"s, the old wrangler mtr's could come in 37's with 15" rims so got that figured out lol i like the old wranglers better anyways . But im thinking maybe some 37"x12.50" original super swamper tsl's theya re just one badass tire! never heard of the firstone's sounds like a decent tire? just going to stop debating on what im going to do and just do it lmao. 3" tg front, 860 emu rear coils and some TSL's hehe yeah i dont like to keep asking questions on YT because allot of people seem to get annoyed lol and yeah your opinion is useful lol heck its impossible to get much out of some people on here and i figure since you do allot of work on your runner that you atleast know some stuff haha im learning still

 

Sorry to hear about your brother's dog...Australian cattle dogs are awesome friends...

Bullet looks like a good pup

Truck is looking great too...I want 39's but will settle for 39's

 

Love the truck...the dog is supercool.

I lost a dog last Summer and it about killed me. I feel your pain.
Theyre like kids in furry suits.

 

Look up firestone destination mts they are a nice longlasting tire and great offroad. I have a friend who swears by them and he had 33 and went just as far as me. 2.5bs is nice but really wide too for ur dd you'd need some flares for sure. Do some more searching on wheel backspacing and I'm sure u can find pics for exactly what ur looking for, for ur rig. Ask away and u can always pm me too be more than happy to help with my ideas, but ultimatly its up to u. not asking questions is the bad thing asking is always good!

Thank u. Yeah she was an amazing friend and frisbee dog she could catch it 50yrds out everytime and love playing fetch. Smart as hell and always had a smile my pups spoiled and goes with me everywere. Even work. I want to get him into agility and he lives up to his name. He's real fast and only 11lbs does what I tell him to too which is awesome. Very loyal. So u love ur 39shuh lol

Definetly thanks. Best stress relief for me is driving with my pup by my side. Sorry to hear about ur loss its ruff.

 

Mistyped, 37's will do

 

Lol thought so I liked my 37s a lot tho they seriously measurde 34. Interco told my older friend to drive them on the road for 3k and they should baloon up a little. Kinda dumb since they're only a 10k tire. My 39s measure bout 38+- .5" max ill go is 42s no rush for me I like my hieght just need new wheels for width as it rubs the frame in the rear

 

Sorry for your loss man. She looks cute in that picture

Truck is looking good also!

 

another lost friend story i feel your pain brother, just lost a dear friend in our family :'(

she was about 6yrs old though...i came home one day...mom said she (names Itty-Bitty) had a toothache and gave her a pill for it (Vet. told us to...) a couple days later i come back up to the house from working on my 4runner, and Itty-Bitty is layin on the couch coughing...i think nothing of it as she has coughed like this since we had her as a pup, she could fit in the palm of my hand for the first 6 or 7 months...not a miniature anything either...well the coughing goes on for a while, and i realize SOMETHING is wrong..so i call my mom and tell her, and she says it's cuz of the toothache? i say "okay whatever you say"..mom gets home..decides to take her to the Vet next day...she dies a little while later because of something similar to Congestive Heart Failure in humans


and not even 2 weeks before that...i accidentally ran over my moms puppy BB (for BallBag...she whined a lot lol)...i was letting my pooch off his chain to take him to the lake with me and my girl...well the BB (half chihuahua half terrier) got under a rear tire of my dodge...i never knew it at all..(happened while i was moving...) i look in my driverside mirror..and see her dragging both her back legs and not able to breathe...i drive as fast as i can to try to get to the Vet in time...pushing the Dodge to it's limits for sure..10miles worth of 110MPH speeds..and even sped through the town going 80 in a 25....but she finally stopped breathing as i pulled into the Vet. parking lot.


it's been pretty hard around here without them...we have one other inside dog...and he's been with us the longest (around 10 or 11 years now) and you can tell he knows...he's not the same dog he used to be....it's my Fault that BB died..even though it was an accident...i have always put her inside the cab with me when i go down to get my dog....ALWAYS....except this time i didn't because i was leaving instead of going back to the house...i'd do anything to go back in time and take the extra 2 mins to make sure that dog was safe.

RIP BB and Itty-Bitty

 

looked up the firestone's and they only go up to 33's with 15: rim and the biggest is a 325/65R18 so hmm idk lol. they look decent though? kinda remind me of the old MTR and a TSL lol

 

Thanks

That sucks man im sorry.. My brother was the one who threw the frisbee and he did all he could got her to the hospital in minuets and the hospital did everything they could. She lasted overnight on a resperator and a specialist came in and determained the extent. Any attempt would have been over 10K as he didnt have insurance he had to put her down. Shes in a better place im sure playin fetch to her hearts extent. Real sad. My brother puts all the blame on himself although it was a total accident. Dont be to hard on urself accidents happen and it sucks but does :/ My pup was by my side when I got the final call he looked at me then layed right next to me. I think he knew for sure.

Yeah they kinda look like some other tires out their. they do well tho. I swear they make a 35 but may not.

 

yeah they look like a good tire, simple, and classic tread. they make a 315 which is basicaly a 35" right? thing is i want to run a 37" now lol im just going to go with some 37" super swamper TSL's now im just trying to get ahold of a torch and a welder lol. i can weld but have no welder so im callin friends

 

get one youll love it 220v no 115

 

haha i would love a welder but no money for one rightnow. My buddys dad has a sick miller welder and im going to get him to weld my hanger and shakles, but i need a torch to cut the gay ifs... i would deffs go with a 220v once i have a welder i will start builing some custom stuff
