    That item that you're holding in your hands is called a nut plate that's what we call him here in New England you can find them at Ace Hardware actually any hardware store Home Depot some are designed for machine screws some are design for sheet metal screws choose carefully I actually have them on my snowblower because I didn't like the way the original bolts were attached to the muffler

    I have the TOyo at’s now 265/75r16’s and want to upgrade to the coopers in 285’s. Did you see a huge drop in MPG’s? What about the noise level compared to the toyo’s?

    I had some 295 70 17 toyo MTs, they are much heavier than the Cooper pros, but the Pros are much louder! With the reduction in weight stopping power, take off, and fuel consumption are both improved.

    I vote ditch lights. I love how subtle the current setup is with the flex’s not being very noticeable. I think amber would draw more attention

    I don’t think it would on a low profile ditch bracket. It would if the bracket sticks up too high though

    I know Caliraised lists theirs as low profile, not sure about others. I think most of the ones that mount to hood hinges are pretty low. The old style that mounted underneath were taller so that the hood had clearance to open

    Yes i have, same thing happened on my moms fj cruiser. Previous owner put a warn winch and bumper on it and after 250k miles, it sagged like this as well to the point where the boots on the cvs wore through. Put some 884s on it i believe and that leveled it out

    Go for it! May not be the best angle for ditch work, but I think it’ll be cool!
