Thoughts on 37s

Thanks for the links, you have me some hope on still running my elocker... a front ARB would be probably nice in those sticky situations looks like you need to use a spacer on the rear

 

Spacer?

Also where are you from? Sind sie Deutscher? It's hard to pick up accents from typing.

 

That's cool! I want to avoid a body lift though... What do you think of those fiberglass fenders? *cough cough* Username!

 

Why the coughing? The glass fenders are tougher than they look, pretty easy to install, and really help fitting big tires. They do not line up perfectly, and I hear all of the glass companies are pita to deal with. I went through Kartek and it was easy.

 

Stick with 35's, that extra inch of radius is the tough part to clear. Something else to think about...my tires actually measure 37" mounted on wheels. Most offroad tires don't measure out to what is on the sidewall.

 

Hmm glass interests me. Thanks for your awesome responses! So regardless of glass or not, the tops of the inner fenders will have to be cut and I will have to relocate/remount stuff under the hood, correct?

 

this is sick.

I'll prob run 35/37's on my 82' toyota pickup so dont mind a lurker

 

No, Haws still has in tact inner fenders with 36's. That's only 1/2" smaller radius than my tires. The best advice I can give is to build it at full stuff and go from there. Might have to get 1/2" taller bumps in the front or something, but it'll work. You can do it. Another thing that really helps is pushing the LCA as far forward as the caster adjustment cams allow.

 

That's good, and a 37" mtr probably won't measure out to a full 37 inches like yours do. Ill try that, I heard the LT helps a lot too cuz it moves the hub forward.

Eff it, I'm going for it! Ill try 4" out of the flares first unless you think I could get away with 3"... I doubt it. I know that spoonman rubs and he only has 3" out.

 

4". Do it man. I work in Ellensburg at the airport sometimes, was just up there last week. Are you going to school there or are you from there? I hear there is some awesome four wheeling up your way, maybe we can set up a run sometime.

 

I'm in. I'm not afraid to do some extensive work. I know I can make it work.
I was thinking too, an easy way to tell rubbing will be to get everything out of the way while installing my ORIs. They'll be resting on bumps before I pump them up.

No way?! Thats so cool. I'd love to meet you/see your truck. Nope I was born and raised here. Just graduated highschool and working at the family business. There is some great wheelin around here. We should set up a run with the other TW guys!

 

For sure, although the WSP doesn't like my truck too much, lol. I need to get a trailer for it. Never have an issue in Oregon though. Do you already have Ori's? I wouldn't advise going that route if you haven't pulled the trigger on them yet. It's not that you can't make them work, but coilovers are a lot easier to set up and tune.

 

Yup just found my sig quote.

 

Ha ha.. you can pick up an accent???.. im from Sac
I was born In Romania and came here when I was about 7-8..

 

Really?? What don't they like? No mudflaps? Front license plate? I always thought Oregon was worse about that...
No I dont... Ugh dammit I just finally thought I had it all figured out. Nate87 was telling me some great stuff about them on his build. Basically you set a lift height/spring rate in the upper chamber, and then you can adjust the valving (squishyness) in the lower chamber... Am I right? I'm just sick of such a stiff suspension with no downtravel.

 

Spacer or thick gear for thr stock e-locker to be geared under 4:10.. no?

 

I'm on 37s. I like to party.

 

I know Jamie. You've ruined my life.

 

nice

 

I guess so. I lived overseas for almost 8 years exposed to all kinds of accents, sometimes you can tell by the syntax where people are from even if they are speaking or typing in English. Romania has some bad ass offroading, it's like the Alaska of Europe.
