2nd Gen 4x4 35s 3" Lift w/o BODY LIFT

I Plan to do lots of traveling so having 35's would be killer on the mpg.. lol

 

I'll throw one other thing to consider with the tire choice you're looking at.

35x12.5x17's

Trail Grappler = 80 lbs
MTR= 64 lbs

Thats a huge difference per tire...

 

If you're after saving weight I believe the hankook dynapro MT's are one of the lightest 35/12.5/17's on the market.

 

This and Price are the only reasons I couldn't go trail grappler. I love the way they look though. My next tire will be MTRs

 

16# a tire??? TG's always remind me of mall crawlers anyway

haha yea I rarely post in here cuz....well....I dont have 35's but I just had to throw that out there cuz its a crazy heavy tire.

 

I hated the dynapro's when I first seen them, they have since grown on me. And then I ended up running them on my ranger. And I must say, it is an all around great tire! I have zero complaints, which I can't say for most of the other tires I have ran.

 

I just bought some stuff that is like bed liner, but marketed for wheelwells that I am going to give a go. I am thinking it will be like the stuff that is already in there to keep rock pings quieter.

 

I went by BAMF, Jerry welded it up a bit to fill in the holes and I'll add some sealant to fill in the rest. then paint it. Then Bedliner it. lol

BTW: I made the switch over to dynapro M/T's and they've been great thus far. They are softer so they do wear but it's a trade off.

 

is that the kevlar mtrs?

 

nevermind I just used google hahaha its 69.5 lbs with the kevlar so still lighter by 10 lbs. You could save 50-60 pounds depending on how many spares you carry

 

The dynapros are going to be about the lightest quality MT tire you're going to find in a 35. the shipping weight on mine was 64 lbs a piece. However, they do transition to a "race" sidewall when you go to a 37'', making them nearly 100 lbs each. so thumbs up for them as a 35; thumbs down to them as a 37. unless you need a race sidewall that will stop a bullet.

great all around tire though. had mine for about 6 months. made about 6 wheeling trips with them in varying terrains, varying from sugar sand, to rocks, to mud, to clay/dirt. they haven't let me down yet.

 

Awesome, glad that worked out for you.

Excited to throw my D load 295's on (33.6") they have been staring at me all winter in the garage. Did a test fit the other day for rear clearance though, looks like I may even have room for 35's

 

Also, how many sidewall plys on the Es? My Ds are 3.

 

35's fit like on 4th gen's they do on the 2nd gen Tacoma's, for the most part(washer bottle is an issue, and a little bit of rear fender on compression on the 4runners):

All 3 rigs in this picture are on 35's and 2-3" lift

 

I know they will "fit", just a matter of persuasion as detailed in this thread. My 285s rubbed the shit out of the rear though, which is why I went with a BL.

 

Well today sealed up the holes in the pinch weld. Used this stuff:

$22 Rust-Oleum 265494 LeakSeal Flexible Rubber Coating Spray, 12 Ounce, Black, 12 Fl Oz

http://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-265494-12-Ounce-Flexible-Sealant/dp/B006ZRUKHK

Cleaned up the area, sprayed it, then waited until it dried, then added layers. Washed the truck after and no more water getting in. Sprayed majority from the inside, did do a couple layers outside to help fill.

 

I used the same stuff. It dries out a bit after a while and will leak again. Best to fill the holes with clear RTV first. When that cures, then put some layers of the rubber sealant over it.

 

I used some clear stuff for the bigger crack. The smaller side I just used this. In the future I think I'll just cut the whole fenderwell and redo it. lol
