Northern KY or Cincinnati trucks???

One of the guys here at the FD had a set of ION wheels and never had any issues with them... Then again, his truck was a street queen! lol

 

Thanks for the offer, but I'm 30 miles north of the river. Thats a haul from Etown. I'm still trying to decide if I'm gonna tackle it myself, or pay to have it done. I'm gonna check a couple of shops around here.

 

Hell I'm down to lend a hand, I've installed suspension on a couple mr2's but never a truck...I don't think its too different

And I have all the tools to get it done if that's an issue.

 

Ion makes a good wheel. The Rocky Mountain edition Jeep Wrangler came stock with them. The only issue is that you wouldn't want to wheel with Chrome. They would scratch easy if you rubbed against a rock or branch.

 

Thanks everyone, I know chrome is a PITA to take care of, but I haven't completely rulled it out yet. They are good looking wheels for a really good price. I guess I could always just keep my stock set for when I want to wheel down the farm.

 

OK I dont want to make another noob thread I have been reading and what not.

The TSB should give me what about a 1" lift in the rear? Or more I have seen mixed sayings.

I'm deciding on billys for front, either .85 or next step (1.75 I think)

Which would allow me to run 32's?


Or what would look the best, she wont see off road that much until I get armor then she will hit the trails!! So for now as much as I hate to say it she will be a mall crawler....

So advice?/thoughts?

 

Would you be interested in chrome fj wheels? They're pretty much mint condition but my sister wants to get the trd wheels she's supposed to have, might be willing to part with em for cheap

 

You can run a 265/75/R16 or 265/70/R17 (~32inch tire depending on brand) stock. That said the billies give a much improved ride imho. I'm @1.75 on my billies and TSB and the rear is still slightly higher. YMMV though. I have 265/75/16 Duratracs and they fit no issue.

If your not going to wheel I'd say get the TSB and 5100's in all 4 corners and leave it at stock height, or .85. The higher you set them, the stiffer the ride will be. But that's just my $0.02.

 

Cool thanks shoot I didnt know we could stuff 32's under at stock!


Just fyi I will be willing its just AFTER I get armor.

.85 sounds good though I will also be getting heavy duty springs for my bumper...eventually

 

Fun snowstorm we're getting. Took the taco out for my first run around in the crappy road conditions. Did pretty well. Was pretty tense going down the ice covered side road, but she didn't go sliding around. Had no trouble spinning from a dead stop, even on the ice. Brakes pretty well also, was getting a feel for how it would react, no big issues with fishtailing or sliding.

Really like those Destination A/Ts.

 

I miss my taco

 

I've been out enjoying the fine weather, handling in snow does take a little bit getting used to but its the learning that makes it fun

 

Its like a blizzard here and F***ING toyota still has my truck ugh!!!!

 

I'm having a blast... Got all my recovery gear in the back to pull people out!! Pulled a lot out with my TJ last year!

 

bastards.........


I miss my coma!!!!

 

I might be interested, do you have any pics or know prices?

 

I was a jolly volley for about a year. Quit so I could concentrate on finishing my degree in Fire Science at UC. What dept.

haha I am in Steamboat Colorado right now. 120" so far and expecting 2 more feet tonight. FRESH POWDER!!!!

 

This was yesterday!

 

I get my truck back today (hopefully if not im going to tell them to keep it and buy another one somewhere else, someone educate me about that process as well I know its possible but how?)


Im a volly while attending college get my associates this spring or summer cant remember, then going for Bachelors in Fire Science.

I volly in E-Town. I love it so far, I have missed 5 calls lately because of this stupid truck issue.

They have not called me this morning to give me a update like they said they would it is irritating me.

 

A lot of volunteers here! Where is E-Town at in KY?
