It would be about like squeezing my mirrors through there, which I thought was going to be iffy but it was just fine. How are the bedsides rated, are the measurements how much bigger they are over stock?

This guy (btnewman) has glass works fenders and bedsides and the bedsides are 4.5". Not sure what the fronts are, either 3.5" or 6.5", I'm leaning towards the 3.5" though. Anyway he fit through there just fine and his mirrors are still a little wider than his fenders.

 

Dis..is why I want LT front



As for the specs thing I do have 1.5" wheel spacers on a 4" BS wheel. So I have 2.5" BS on a 12.5 wide tire.

With a full TC 3.5" over kit my wheels will be just a bit wider as I plan on getting a less offset wheel as well. Ill still be pretty wide just like Jason as I want a tundra axle as well to make them match.

 

Squeeze! Just trying to figure out if I can still fit with LT & 6.5" Fenders

 

That looks like 'The squeeze' at Pinyon Mountain, Anza-Borrego.

 

By rating I meant does a 4" flare mean it is 4" wider than factory fenders or are they measuring at a different point. Like with shackle lengths, sometimes they are referred to by how long they are and sometimes by how much longer than stock they are, or how much lift over stock they will provide.

Also at that point I didn't take into account of tires sticking out past the wider fenders like yours do, so that would make it pretty tight. My tires are even with my fender flares right now so that is why I didn't think of that.

Or too run tires bigger than 35's without the risk of breaking some every time you go out.

From outside of tire to outside of tire that makes you about 4" wider than me.

 

Idk but I didn't feel like my 4.5" flares were 4.5" over stock. Stock 4wd flares are about 2-2.5" flare(1st gen) so I think it's from a differs point. Like whatever my 2wd fender were.


And 4"..haha nice..will be 6-7 eventually.

 

We'll see About the time you finally go LT I might be up to a wider tire, or possibly even LT myself. haha

 

Cuz you have 235's

 

Yessssss..

Although if I had a second gen I'd do like Jason said and get the 2" over kits not a full kit

Nonsense. Ill take the extra 6-7" of wheel travel

Bitch tires

 

I plan on using all that travel not by hauling ass offer shit but by doing tougher trails.

255s..chubby??

 

You're just saying that because you don't have LT or wide tires When you get them one day your story will change haha

Plus when you are with other guys what is wrong with hauling ass and leaving everyone when you can, and then stopping to stretch your legs, take pics, take a leak or whatever while everyone catches up

 

235/85 on a second gen ftw

 

Nothing a few Jerry cans can't fix

Lockers and LT and crawl box will get me father then your stock ifs and stock locker


Ahhh...stupid money...

 

Lockers and LT will make it funner while keeping your rig more firmly planted on the rocks

 

Good mileage, great traction

 

I get okay mileage for overland stuff it's crawling where it takes a shit.

Ill hopefully have 15 gals of extra fuel tho...so..should be around 300-400 miles range..maybe that'll go up after a regear

 

Yeah..ARB up front.. makes a huge difference..I have it engaged as much as possible.
