    I feel like 35's on most 15 and 16's would be hard to debead on a 8" rim. I have run it on 7.5" and really flexed the sidewalls and it's never debeaded. I think it's pretty visible in those recent pics.

    I've seen guys do it, but they're usually hammering down pretty good and bouncing which never leads to anything good

    Tundra brake swap with Land Cruiser pads covered in build thread post #386. Highly recommended.

    Your frame height looks perfect for your setup. 37's?

    Yes, manual everything...even mirrors...
    Nothing special this month - freshened up one of the 12v circuits a bit. Left the top one alone, but the bottom two weren’t working (was actually a fuse) but decided to replace them anyways.

    Also installed a Laird BB450 no ground plane antenna, and built a bed drawer system for camping I really like.

    I ran 10psi on my 35x12.5r15 all the time and romped on them good that way never threw a bead. Went as low as 8 in snow. 8" wheel on a 12.5" wide tire would be hard to do.

    Certainly not impossible though.

    10/10 do not recommend without a plasma cutter. And the rivnuts kept pulling out because the bumper is so thick :mad: The 4 stainless bolts were as much as the whole harness too :eek:
