This is your spare? How did exhaust fumes bother it? I’m more worried about the exhaust pipe heat.

 

I mean you could probably fit a 35 under there if you really wanted to

 

por favor no fumar

 

Not in the factory mount. the shackles hit a (34") 295/70R17

Later year trucks with the longer leaves? not sure if it'll fit

 

Also did you remove your ebrake or fabricate something else for it? Don't see the cable running across

The thought of having a manual with no parking brake makes me nervous lol. Even tho my e-brake is usually pretty shitty at holding the truck

 

Yes, I upgraded my 205 spare to match my current 235's and wanted to test if it'll fit bc I've hear 5 lugs can fit up to 31 inches in stock spare spot.

No clue how it happened, maybe from giving it hell cause I was hovering around 3-4 k rpms average being up north and going over hills.

 

I'm running a rattle trap transfer case e brake since the GM 3/4 ton calipers on the back don't have a parking brake provision. I need to adjust it because the pad rattles and it doesn't hold on steep slopes

 

@Speedytech7

going back awhile to when you were talking about a fancy safety cable in the 4 lower ball joint bolts.


What about soemthing like this? With longer bolts I guess.

GM brakes in the back?

Is the horse tack attached?

 

It’s pretty good for 300. Core support is straight behind the bent bumper. Bed corner can be pulled back out and the tailgate can be replaced easy enough.

 

Ok weirdo... 5-Lugs here with pristine bodies and frames are still relatively worthless.

 

Why do you think I want to 4x4 it

 

Well I think you’re insane for taking on another project when your truck is rotting away in a storage locker. You don’t need another truck or another project.

 

Kind of a similar idea to a stake nut to keep it from turning loose

 

I've been running without an ebrake for about 10years now, thanks toyota and your shitty brake design that corrodes solid despite daily use. It's not too bad, if I'm on a hill I drop the front case into low and it stays put.

 

Coming from the guy with how many projects on hand lol

 

not a bad idea

 

I was reading your post on that persistent modeling agent guy and it kind of pisses me off too, TBH. Some people don’t know boundaries.

 

I’m just worried about the exhaust pipe melting the rubber. There’s less than 2 inches from the rear pipe.

 

be fun with a V8 swap
