I average about 25k/yr....

 

Hola!

 

Only reason I am not replacing my Nittos again is the tread wear aspect. Now keeping a set for trail running....hmm.

 

Just over 20k on these with rotating two tires every 5k. About 5/16" left till the wear indicator.

 

I do have two sets of wheels...

But $1500 for trail tires is spendy.

 

I cant put the 35s on my 1st gen its not cool like your 2nd gens

 

Meh. They will last a long time if kept for trial use only.

 

Troof

They are essentially brand new - I only put like 7K on them. The spare has never seen asphalt. I'd cut a deal for a local...

 

I blame you for making me get them. But they are awesome

 

It would be slightly more cool on 35s

 

$1800 for tires, wheels, and pneumatic bead locks. I’ll offer it up to you guys before the Market place and CL

 

Except 20. Fuck the second half of 20.

35's on a first gen is cooler than 35's on a second gen for two reasons. 1 - the work it takes to do it, and 2 - it makes your rig look like a goddamn beast while a 2nd gen on 35's is meh.

How are the pneumatic bead locks on the highway?

 

I never installed them, but supposedly they’re fine. It’s realky just a heavy duty tube inside a case that pushes the beads onto the rim. They’re DOT legal double Beadlocks.

 

Meh

 

35s on a trailer though

 

Well yeah of course they look big when the stock tire is 15"

Pat, I called Diamond on Tuesday to price out a Diamond with a 9.5. He said he’d work it up and email me later in the day. Said if I didn’t get and email to message him because there must’ve been a typo with the email.

I did not get said email so I contacted through the web site Tuesday evening. Still nothing Wednesday evening. I called and left a message explaining all this. Still nothing.

From our initial conversation, it was going to be $5k plus.

I ordered a Dana 60 from ECGS today. It’s based off of a 60 that they build and ship over seas to dealers to put in Hiluxs.

Specs:

-Stock width (Tacoma) Dana 60 axle
-3.5” axle tubes 7/16” wall
-all new center section
-4.88s
-Air actuated OX locker
-Spring and shock mounts welded on
-35 spline chromoly axles
-All new bearings and seals

$4080 minus $1000 for sending in my broken 8.4

The 35 spline chromoly axles were a $550 option

The all new bearings and seals were a little over $400

They’re also sending me another shipping label to send my axles to them. This way, they will install the backing plates and brakes onto the new axle free of charge.

It will be a 100% bolt in HD Dana 60 for $4080 and retains the wheel speed sensors.

The Currie 9” would’ve been 6k+. The Currie comes raw, no shock mounts, no brake line tabs, needs bearings pressed, seals installed, etc.

The Currie 35 spline axles are also not Chromoly

In the end, the ECGS Dana 60 was a no brainer for me.

The 60s lowest point is 6” below center of the axle tubes. I will be loosing around an inch of clearance, but the 37s will mostly make up the difference.
