    I honestly haven't given it much thought yet. They were possibly going on the Tundra but I'm undecided

    :facepalm:Don't ever use your slider as a hand rest when pulling cardboard out from the bottom of it right after painting the slider with bedliner. Caffeine and reggae music don't mix. Not really paying attention. Time to go paint thinner my hand. :homer:

    I love my 235/85/16s I can grab a pic of my ko2 tread but I've put around 20k miles on them.

    Also if you find them on deal you can find them for 550-600ish with mail in rebate for a set. I paid $500 otd after mail in rebate during a 4th of July sale at discount tire.

    That's pretty disheartening about the Coopers. I guess we'll have to see how mine do. I'm only about two thousand miles in.

    BFG older style all terrains.
    I got 80,000 street/hwy miles in Cali. The roads are not as corse as here. Smoother pavement. I loved them and the only issue I had out there is most of the mud out there had clay mixed it and the tires didn't clean out very well.
    Those suckers where slicks by the time I hit those miles. Hydroplane bitches :p

    These coopers are a softer rubber then those but I know they won't last as long but I'm happy with the traction and I've excepted the fate that it's a wear and tear item. Good thing I have you for alinement :D and six tire rotation every oil change helps.

    Sooooo it looks like the roller bearing is pushed all the way back on my truck... It's not flush with the outside surface. No space to put the puller tool behind the bearing.

    WTF Toyota?!

    @thefatkid are they usually pushed this far back from the factory?

    0422171143.jpg

    The face of the roller is a good 1/4" deeper than the end of the taper, 3/16+ from the surface that the new bushing is supposed to be flush with when you install it.

    The good news is that this is hopefully the cause of the vibration.

    In other news, my truck was built in Texas, next time I'll opt for a Mexico built one since this one is all jacked up.

    Neither side has ever been touched.

    As far as I know, unless it was removed when Toyota did the rear main seal. Other than that, no chance.
