MARYLAND TACOMAS

they don't care about tires during emissions. they hook you up to an OBD II device and that's it.

 

granted, i drive extremely conservatively in the truck, but i haven't had any issues down here in Southern MD. southern Maryland jeepers is a sizable jeep "club" down here. pretty much all of them have tires sticking out much further than mine, and they don't seem to have issues either. it's always a risk, but i would rank it lower on the list of things that will give you trouble.

 

I worry about it...but we have so many jeeps and diesels up here on 35s and 37s that it must not be enforced

 

Every mall crawling Chevy and Ford and Jeep by me has the tires sticking out around here

 

I plan to remove the oem flares off of my lifted LC. With the stock wheels the 315's wont stick out too much.

 

@Mobtown Offroad I'm gonna drop off a LC so you can fab mine to look like this lol.

 

Anybody ever eff around with one of those manual tire changer things? got the old tire off no problem, but all be damned if i can get the new one on. ive tried all the lube i have access too, multiple pry bars, vise grips to keep the tire in place, and holy shit i cant get the tire to actually set in the bead. am about one more set of busted knuckles away from saying fuck it and going to the shady tire shop down the street and paying to have them mounted.

 

My wife just bought me this for xmas,

$905 Branick 7600 Strut Spring Compressor

Branick 7600 strut spring compressor. Nice addition to my garage.

 

Plan on doing a lot spring work huh

 

Saw this earlier it's bad ass

 

I tried to get her to buy me a new Bendpak lift but that didn't fly.

 

maybe for your birthday

 

Most people try and put the tire on the rim, that's a bitch. Lay the tire on the ground and push the rim into the tire. Works much better.

 

That i dont have an issue with, getting the second tire lip to drop into the bead slot is proving to be a bitch. i managed to get one in, but scratched the shit out of the wheel in the process. seeing as i have a welder and acess to machinist's knowledge, im probably gonna build something that is easier and works better.

 

Should've just brought it with you to my work yesterday and I could've mounted it for you after we were done with the coil overs.

 

I would have if it was for my truck, but ive got 6 more rally car wheels+ tires to mount after the one, and id feel like i was abusing you at that point

 

Oh.

 

Hello Everyone

 

yup.
