What tires are those?

 

M/T Geolanders

 

On stock rims? They don’t look like skinnies

 

For sure - suspect they're 285/75 but that's simply conjecture.

 

Didn't know the 9500es had Gracenote. If it does, not sure how I'd check that. I checked the manual and it says nothing about Gracenote.

 

They are, I checked his built tread. Wonder how it fits as far as rubbing goes.

 

That's right! 285/75 M/T Geolandars on stock rims

 

How does it fit as far as rubbing goes?

 

I was thinking of maybe getting a set of these, still researching brands, and if I really need them, but you've inspired me to look into making my own.
Nice job!

 

I have a 2" lift in the front with a cab mount chop, 1.25" wheel spacers and Bilstein UCA's. It used to still rub a bit on the cab mount side so I maxed out the caster and did the viper cut on the front bumper when it started rubbing a little on the front fender liner. It doesn't rub anymore during regular driving or most of the wheeling I do. I only rub slightly on full articulation and flex while slightly turned which I attribute to rubber to plastic noise. I believe it's just a part of the fender flares that I haven't cut off which I plan to do more investigation later on. It's not concerning at all, I'm able to go anywhere without any issues the majority of the time haha.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

(Oct2)
I got email confirmation from Total Chaos today for Bed Stiffeners.

Looks like the label was printed out today...just waiting on UPS pick-up.

 

After I ordered mine they sent me four e-mails Label printed,Invoice,Out for Delivery and order delivered. Communication is great and it arrived when they said it would. So much better than companies that take your money and you have to track them down.

 

Really not too big a deal for me, just nice to shut it off when driving around on my property clearing timber/etc. Will take a look at it though, probably has lots of value I am unaware of.

 

Finished installing these yesterday morning.
Man, that was a workout!

 

Looks great!

I bought some seat covers but I've yet to install them...lol!

Reason being...it's gonna be a workout!

 

The mundane...just a standard oil change. I must say the TRD makes it easier, and the motivx filter wrench is most definitely worth it.

 

I washed mine before installing, but they got all sweaty during the install so

 

I'll clean the upholstery and let it air dry for a week before I install the unwashed seat covers.

When the time comes to wash the seat covers, at least the upholstery underneath will be clean.

 

Today I put in a set of kicker tweeters, a set of spotter mirrors, and a dash cam. The tweeters definitely make a difference, the mirrors definitely seem like a nice touch, hopefully the dash cam never comes into play.

Up next is converting to LED headlights, and then door speakers. Any recommendations for a pair of door speakers that can run off the underpowered basic head unit on the Sr models?
