Passed emissions today.
Running super clean too. First time emissions with the new gears and the tires.
The diameter was right on the edge of their dyno.
FYI, The Fort Collins test center does have the capability to test up to 40" tires, just in a different bay. The Loveland center does not.
I was surprised they ran mine, notice how close it is to the bars...

I can math just fine. And what i cand do in English i can in welding sooooo

 

Anyone got thoughts on getting Black Rhino wheels?

 

Question about the Wildernest I just picked up: The right side appears to be bowed out at the back, the gap between the back window and side of topper is larger on the right, and a tab had to be welded in order for the lock to function. Is there a good way to bring that side back in? It's not terrible as is and I can definitely just add additional weather stripping or something, but if there's a way to fix it that would obviously be ideal.


Gap on Right side

How it's mounted (if there's a better way to mount I'd love to hear about it- this is just what the guy I got it from did)

 

wonder if thats a ski liberty sticker from MD?

 

You'll be a lot more pissed off when you scratch/ding/gouge them compared to stockers...

I thought about getting the TRD SEMA wheels, but decided it was not worth it.

 

Is it metal or fiberglass?

And yeah, I would upgrade those mounts.

I have these for mine.

 

Where did you get those may i ask?

 

Anyone know anything about converting the wheel mounts to a 8 lug instead of 6?

 

It's fiberglass, so that's part of my concern as I really don't want to crack it. And thanks for the heads up on those mounts- I'll echo Coop's question of where you got them?

 

Why would you want to do that?

I mean, you could use some of these if you really wanted to:

Someone here on Fort Carson told me that if i convert to 8 lug then i can buy a pallet of hummvee wheels for a few hundred. When driving a humvee I've popped a tire, broke an axle, and almost ran over a few dogs in the middle east. The wheels never got damaged though!

 

Some how I knew when question to 8 lugs was going to be related to HMMWV wheels haha. They're 35s on a 15.5" wheel so hopefully they fit

 

New tars are in. Test fitting in an hour. Definitely not much narrower, a touch taller though.
Still considering 17's, In a plain steel wheel. There isn't shit to choose from in a 16.

Same seller as well.

 

You went 255/85R16 in an st maxx right?

 

Nope, 295 75 16 Terra grappler. 255 would be smaller than what I have now

 

Pics required...

 

But, may change to the 285/75r17. And new wheels. Just want to test fit the 295 first
