Houston area (along with DB's not from Houston) BS thread

Yeah but i'm thinking in terms of Jambo and HF trips. If I blow a tire and buy the 265/70/17 then I can go anywhere and get another one since it's a common tire size. 285/70/17 requires to be ordered pretty much everywhere. I was even thinking of buying my tires through WalMart so I have certificates on them and since they're open 7 days a week I should be good to get it fixed/replaced pretty much regardless of where I am. I plan on having a spare but just think it would be a good idea to think ahead.

 

I really am a YUUUUUUUUUUUUGE advocate of planning/thinking ahead.

With THAT being said, I still vote 285's.

You will want them eventually anyways. af

 

I want them now, lol. I had also considered seeing if I can order 2 extra tires before I go to Jambo to be "picked up in store" at the walmart in Gilmer. Then if I fuck something up my tire size is there. If not I can cancel/return them and be good to go.

 

All depends on the tire brand/style.

Not true measurements. Some may run bigger and some smaller...

 

Plus I don't wanna have to regear,after all its just a prerunner

 

Regear for 285's?

 

Smart af!

 

Yeah I'm just saying I had bald 265/70r16 geo something goodyears and now I have 265/75r16 Cooper discover atp's

 

First gens are supposed to regear to 4.56 for 33s. But most first gens have 3.91 gears and the 01-04 has 4.10, so I figure I'm good to go to a skinny 33. Plus im a prerunner so i wont be doing crazy intense wheeling. But my science may be off.

 

Damn!!!!

 

Chris can chime in at any time, he knows way more than I do. My knowledge is from reading TW, his is real life experience

 

I think most have 4:10

4:30 was out for a little while

4:56 came in a few models.

 

Nope, someone sold a house that had a spa, the new owner didn't want it. The real estate agent paid us to go pick it up and take it to his place.

 

I've heard a handful of 97s I think came with 4.30, never heard any coming with 4.56. I know my 99 had 3.91

 

first gen talk

 

Why is that funny?

 

Cause first gen
