1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

if you run it up front it'll just feel like you have a bad alignment. I had to hold the steering wheel straight on the 300 miles highway trip home lol. Sucked but it wasn't too bad. Depending on how different they are it could be a harder pull

 

ah shit ya my GF would kill me If I had to go down 5-7k feet from the mountain like that haha. I'm ~3 inch difference in tires versus one inch like u had as well; which worries me more

 

glad ur telling me this now, can't believe I was that ignorant over a 20 dollar used spare

 

This is just theory, but you could've run that smaller tire in the rear still.

Not that I'd recommend it because your drive wheels are important, but if you had to you should be ok with your locker disengaged.

This way you have no issues with your diff since it'll be open and ok to having mismatched speeds.

 

Sounds like he really got mulled over

I'll see myself out

 

Even without the locker on it would still put added strain on the diff, with both tires the same size they are both going the same speed when going straight. With one tire smaller (especially considerably smaller) that side is turning at a different rate of speed

Someone smarter than me explained it to me once on here but I forget the technical part that is compromises, just that it was no good. But yeah the difference between a 32 and 33 really isn't all that much and it would probably take some time/hard driving for it to really hurt anything, but a tire that's 2" or more smaller/larger is taking a pretty good risk imo

I especially wasn't worried about it off-road in 4wd because the terrain is so uneven anyway and the speed is so slow that I really didn't think it would matter, and it was ok

 

wish I had a locker rn to worry about disengaging we talking one wheel drive and 2 on a god angle.


Think Imma just say fuck it and go for the spare, a used 29 inch tire should come near to nothing

 

always good to have a full size spare no matter what, doesn't have to be an expensive one to match just the same size

 

bunch of posers

mine straight up got ripped off without bending the bracket. Twice

 

I haven't achieved that level of hardcore-ness yet

 

with the ram I didn't even get my full size spare balanced from the tire shop either haha. Sometimes I don't realize how much of a cheap ass I am.


Guess it's a good thing to limit me from being OCD

 

pathetic.

 

ok
its a tough road
TW has made it much worse

 

so what was the reason the 3.4 was stopped in the reg/single cabs
i have never been sure what the reason was

 

it was the ligma outbreak

Mine tire chains tore mine off

 

Not sure what happened but the GF's 4runner with "tow package" doesn't have wiring for the trailer
