Might as well cut the shock tower and weld in a hoop.

 

Got some sweet red brake lines. I hope they are long enough. I also hope the hotel doesn't mind I spread brake fluid everywhere.

I know @Diablo169 is jealous of the color.

 

That, and how clean you undercarriage is. We've had wash out after wash out where I'm at, and I've been driving through soupy mud for months.

 

Wait are you +2 or +3.5? I went back a few pages and didn't see much info or pics.

I'm eyeballing Enigma's LT pieces in the Market Place.

 

+3.5

I read and read different setups. If you are going to do it just do 3.5. The cost is barely more.

You end up with an extra 1.5 each side. But that isn't bad. You'd have to do flares or fenders though. The +2 kit I think is easier to get away with just the stock stuff.

 

Agreed man, if you like the glass fenders then get the 3.5. Thats what techically sold me on the 3.5 or 2, already had the hassle done and didnt even know it.

 

Drove to Yosemite today.

 

Well bros. After 3000ish street miles and hundreds of off road miles, I think I'm leaving the 35" tire group and going back to 285's.

I have no power. Horrible gas mileage. And they rub everywhere.

 

285 is the biggest I'll go. Debating 255/85 for my next set.

 

And here I am looking at buying a set of 35's soon. I assume you have not regeared?

 

Don't you have 4.88's waiting to go in?

 

I know @90yota is currently doing that.

 

Ya that should help a lot with the power and the gas mileage I would think.

 

I would consider 4.56s personally as I think 4.88s is a little high for 35s. I had 35s on my auto first gen with 4.88s and at 70 I was around 3k all the time. Thing ate gas going anywhere.

 

With these new transmissions I wouldn't worry about it since guys are doing it with 33's and loving it.

And I know exactly what you are talking about with the 1st gen. When I had mine I was on 285's with 4.88 gears lol.

 

A got a buddy up here with 4.56s on 33s. He is at 3k at 65-70, bad move for MPG. I bet he goes to 35s in a year if not less.

 

Ya my plan was to step up to 35's but I sold the truck before I could do it . I miss that truck. Should've held on to it.

 

Yea man, I hope I keep my second gen for a looooooooooooong time.

 

With stock gears mine sits at 3200 at 75. Since it doesn't have power to maintain that in anything above 4th.

It's not just the power. They rub everywhere. I guess I could limit up travel with bumpstops. I haven't looked to see what I can do. Maybe I'm right at the limit of up travel anyway and going to a 285 wouldn't help.

If I stick with 35's maybe do an all terrain instead.

 

And yeah. I have a set of gears. In fact I've had them for so long they were part of the first big gear order from china. Haha
