Would that be a suggested upgrade for a stock TRD OF to partake in these shenanigans?

 

Yes, that would work. But it's a question if you mind welding to your frame or not. To each their own. I purchased bolt on type, but the weld on ones I've seen work very well.

 

Most of us have 4X sliders. Welded.
There is a CAD file on the site for a bolt on adapter plate if you have access to the needed instruments and resources to create them.

 

Better at everything! AT = All Terrains @ All Things.....

If you will recall, it was on AT's that I pulled you out of the muck.

 

I prefer Bolt-on sliders. They might cost a few dollars more, but you don't have to pay for someone to weld them on.

 

Off to find that. I have a few friends that have access to the right equipment to make that happen. I would prefer bolt-on but most bolt-on options have a long lead time & are at least twice the price.

 

Everett @beertimecontinuum will hook you up for welds

 

In my defense, I was on the frame. A less fermented beverage soaked mind or bigger tires of any kind would've helped haha!

 

Someday, if I ever move to a new place. No more DYF in this yard as I am trying to re-grow my grass

 

Good plan!

 

This whole type, what size will fit, do I want to chop my cab mount, my results will vary,,,,, skinnies will work, oh wait they won’t work
It’s driving me batshit crazy!

The more I read the worse it gets.

 

Stop reading and do whatever you want. It's what we all do anyway lol

 

I want 4wd Utopia and get the perfect setup the 1st time around.

 

It gets to the point that I decide not to do another damn thing and put the stock stuff back on it.
That lasts until I have another fleeting thought of being on the wrong end of my recovery strap, or breaking something, and the crazy starts all over.

I have a 1/4” spacer plate because that’s the thickest I could find to correct my 3/4-1” lean thinking that maybe I could live with a 1/2”. Then I find all kind of different size spacers on Wheelers!

It’s only 20 wasted bucks, but it’s another two lost weeks.

My panties are all in a wad.

I think I’ve got a plan,
But that’ll probably just be the beginning of another plan.

$500.000 should be sufficient.

 

I don't have the lean everyone talks about. I don't have much input man

 

So after above tizzy was done, bought a 1/2” spacer kit and Wheelers progressive AAL’s.
JBA UCA’s will be bought Friday.

If I can get a difinitive answer on whether or not I can run 255/85/16 on stock rims, or new rims with the OEM 12 mm backspacing without chopping my cab mount, that’s what I’m gonna do.
I want to buy once and be done.

Mind fuck is done for today.

 

I’ve measured it countless times but it won’t go away.
Everyone says it’s because of the gas tank, but it doesn’t vary enough between a full or empty tank to support that theory, in my opinion.

 

Far as I know, with mild lift (2-3"), a 2nd gen can run 255 without a cmc on stock wheels. May or may not need wheel spacers.

 

CMC is not that hard to do!

 

I read good and bad about spacers.
There’s too many more variables.
I am seriously the dude that will find a way to fuck shit up.
