I’m not even gonna click the link, I already know what it’s gonna be.

 

Also they're greasable which is a nice benefit, my SPC's have been great for me for the past couple of years.

Only issue I have is that the old grease gets all over the balljoint boot and spindle over time; when you add more the old stuff has to come out and gets forced out the bottom of the boot. Messy but not too bad to clean up.

 

Thanks again @Digiratus, excited to mount em up and go for a trip!

 

Good to know that those tires will get some good use. Lots of life left in them.

And those amazing wheels, with their amazing history are like a cat. They are on their 4th or 5th life now.

 

I decided that I’m gonna try the fuel system to solve the 0171 code. I wanted to do bigger injectors so I figure that’s a good place to start. Thinking the pink top injectors from a 4 banger.

 

Gonna be hard to find soon too with the KM3's coming out. I was between those and the MTR's when I was in the market for tires. Was hoping to go the KM2 route next to see what I liked mo betta, by the time I am there I might be SOL.

 

Went to the mountain to put up my trail camera, decided I had nothing else to do all day with school over and no work I might as well cruise around. The forest service didn’t like my first plan so I went the other way.

 

Nice potato shots.

 

I’m using a different potato

 

Have you seen one in person yet? I got to check one out at the 4WP show a few weeks ago. They are interesting looking. Looking forward to hearing more about pricing, size availability and sidewall ratings.

 

I have seen em just in promo vids...the sidewalls are kinda crazy...will be interesting to hear how they perform n hold up can’t remember if I read that they used a softer rubber compound or not

Edit : did you pick up a set?

 

I got to eat some dirt doing the hammer frame test on my 4Runner last weekend.

 

No. I gave up waiting for them to be released. Ended up with a set of STT Pros.

 

Understandable...how you liking them?

 

Came home from Phoenix yesterday after training and my truck got hotter than it ever has. It got up to 210° then for a split second it flashed 212° which got me worried. I drove home with the A/C off in 104°, yuck.

Got up this morning, drained the coolant, pulled the stock radiator, replaced the Stant 170° thermostat, which never got below 188° and made this happen!

Then I pulled my stock MAF and replaced it with one from a Volvo, even used the Volvo sensor.

And awhile back the front bushings failed on my JBA upper control arms, so I replaced them with my awesome wifey's help.

 

Why a Volvo MAF?

After 13 years, my trailer harness box gave up the ghost. Left turn power in, none coming out. One click on Amazon, and two days later, a new harness arrived. A couple of hours, and hopefully, ready for the next 13 years of towing.
