    Yeah who knows. I figured toyota would have figured that out when changing the fluid. Also, my temp Guage on my dash doesn't change. Maybe my temp sensor is just dickered up?

    Yeah I believe that. I find it odd. The needles always moved on my old cars as they overheated.

    What temp were you running at before the 33's? I've never seen my truck above 190 on 31's and I'm thinkin about going to 33's on stock gears. I figured it'd take a hit in mpgs but I hadn't thought about them making the engine run hotter.

    It was the same before the 33s. It has been worse lately but I attribute that to my RTT with so much drag. I have to work it harder to keep the same speed.

    Yeah I beat the shit out of it the best I could without taking my tires off lol. Once I rotate my tires I'll have to do more though. My passenger side rubs my washer fluid reservoir but I haven't noticed any frame rub.

    I beat it with a hammer, then it it with my angle grinder and got it nice and smooth, then painted it.

    Yeah I only had a claw hammer at my fiance's house when I switched mine over. :anonymous:

    Luckily I haven't been hitting the washer fluid reservoir though. I also think I need to adjust my coilovers a bit. I think they settled a little. Anyways, carry on.

    I think my alignment is odd. If I had new UCAs I think it'd move the tire away from the reservoir. Hopefully anyway. But then I'd have issues elsewhere lol. My rear tires will be a problem too. They hit the front of the fender now. I need relocation plates but I really don't want to tear apart the suspension again. If I do that I would want a better reason that relocation plates Lol. Like...new shocks or leaf packs.

    I have some All-Pro axle relocation plates, you can have them if you want.

    And I forgot about you not having UCA's... Did you replace your UBJ's? thats a pita and why I went with new uniball UCA's...

    Lol I hate when I get reminded about it. I can't make a u-turn at full lock more than about 2mph without my tire hitting the washer reservoir. Awful noise.

    Decided last minute Friday night to do a quick camping trip. Brought the guns along and had a good time. Got to test the tires in some mud. Nothing crazy but they did a lot better than my old ones would have.

    Also tried to stuff the rear as best I could to see if I need relocation plates. This is as far as I could get it with the terrain I was on, but I think if I got it any higher the tires would definitely hit the fenders.

    Sweet terrain! Where is that?

    So you're not on the bump stop there? Just let me know and the relocation plates are yours. They are about 3/8" thick so you get a baby lift too.

    That's in Sutton.

    And you know I didn't even look At the bumps. I don't think I was on them though. I've stuffed my old tires way farther up than that. I think if I did the relocation plates, I may as well add shims Too. Not sure if I need them though. I have some very small vibes at 25-40mph but I think it's my front humming, not the rear.
