It's only a grand too

 

hmm looking at the country of origin leads me to believe it wouldnt last too long.

 

Than buy 2

China is as capable of making good shit as anyone as long as theres someone there keeping an eye on things to make sure corners arnt cut for manufacturing speed and cost reductions

 

if the locker lets go and takes the gears out thats worse than just replacing the locker lol

 

Dialog is trash, but everything else is pretty good. I'd give it 7/10. Ending is pretty decent too, albeit predictable.

 

I need to get a rear 4.56 diff rebuilt with a Harrop so I can use my fresh rebuild 4.56 trutrac front diff in the 99. But it's going to cost me $2,500 from ECGS last I checked. Need to see what ZUK can do it for...

My collection has only grown since this was taken...

 

I've never seen anyone air down that low.. Most people I know go down to 20. I only go down to 25.

 

25psi is pretty damn high.

On the Prerunner I often ran 15psi.

On the 4Runner I always run 14psi, or down to 10psi if things are sketch.

 

She probably won't remember it.. but it'll definitely effect her. When I was a toddler apparently I tried to filet my arm to expose the android underneath after my family watched the terminator when Arnie did it in the movie lol

 

10psi with no bead locker?

I see you like to live dangerously

 

You'll be fine for the most part until you get into single digits. Might wanna have tires bigger than a child's birthday party favor tho

 

I might try 20 some time. The mud tires I'm running seem to work well at 25. They only have 7,000 miles so there's lots of tread still left.

 

Yeah, I think I had one or two tires at 8psi versus the intended 10psi

But I also run E load too so that helps.

 

I go down to 14 regularly on anything harder than a fire road. On E load tires it shouldn't be an issue, never had it be for me. Been as low as 8 in the sand but wouldn't do that regularly.

With beadlocks though you can run way, way lower

 

Even 20psi is a bit up there but better.

Are your tires an E load? That's why I run them a lot lower, that and the ride overall is way smoother.

 

I remember staying up and listening to a show my parents were watching when I was about 6 or so, was one of those true crime shows from back in the day like America's Most Wanted I think. It was highlighting this mother that killed all 3 of her children by drowning them in a tub one by one, and I remember being fucking mortified by it. I started sleeping with my Cub Scout pocket knife under my pillow in case my mom tried to kill me in my sleep haha.

 

But that's what the 15" rims are for... more sidewall, more traction

 

i was about to say, i drop to 12-13 in the slug. some people seem scared to go below 15

edit: and im c load lol

 

Yep. Load range E. Note that I weigh roughly 6,600 lbs -- sometimes up to 6,800 -- over GVWR.
