    At Les Shwab for a rotation, while here having a look at 265 vs. 285... still might go tall n' skinny but definitely not choosing the 265/70/17s... they just look so tiny here20170425_143845.jpg 20170425_144022.jpg

    285s are wide as shit.

    Still not sure if I'll go to 285s or 255/80 next.

    I know...I know, so many reasons to, and so few not to. Had the 285s on my 07 so I am used to the platform, performance and cutting required... I'd say I'm 75% tallskinny and 25% 285s right now, deciding before summer .

    Only reason for 285s is looks - and maybe tire availability IMHO. Which is fine if you dig a wide tire, gotta follow your vibe.

    285s + 1.25" spidertrax on my 07, I put off cutting the plastic bits out of the way and lost quite a lot of rubber from the outer lugs when stuffed. Looking closer it was likely my ARB bumper that did the damage.

    When I decided I wanted a roof rack for my shell I shopped around and found that the spare parts section on orsdirect.com has really good deals on individual components

    This is my order, i didnt end up using the end caps. I bought my screws and stuff at home depot.

    So around 300$ +30$ for the stainless hardware, with self install.

    Replaced radiator bushings at 30k miles. I used the universal kit from Energy Suspension, with the large part on top. Thanks go to @EDDO for helping me out.

    Don't want to sound like a noob but can I grease them without pulling the cam bolts? Like with white lithium spray or something?
