Ya they did. I better get it aligned. I thought alignment wasn't needed if suspension wasn't touched?

 

Its recommended that every time you change tires, you should get an alignment. Recommended by who, IDK, maybe the tire industry....

 

Any recommendations where to go?

 

Ken at Unibodytech on Mapunapuna is great.

 

Scottys in pearl city
some go to firestone.
Sometimes I just drop off my truck at goodyear in waipio, and go shopping at costco.
Island brake and alignment has been mentioned on here couple times.

 

People with Thule bed racks or roof racks, you guys order them or is there a place down here to get?

 

Preston, I bought my Thule roof rack from Mike (@luka), who bought it from Rick (@squint0241). Gotta love hand-me-downs and TW brothers who take care of their equipment.

 

I go to island alignment. I've had np there.

 

Says Go Bananas carries Thule. I can't remember the name of the other store but I remember they have one location on Kapahulu and the other location in Kailua.

 

Shoots

 

Go bananas on kapahulu or Hawaiian water sports in Kailua. But Go Banana's is the better place to go.

 

That's the place,, Hawaiian water sports. I couldn't remember the name.

 

If you lurk craigslist, they pop up pretty often for a decent price. There's a TracRack for sale right now.

I think most like the Thule one since it's adjustable. Me, I like my TracRack since they can hold more weight.

 

Next question- how much offroading do you plan on doing? there are cheaper lifting routes that are great for DDing and light offroading but won't compare to offroading-centered options, but there's a big cost difference between the two

the thing to understand with tires is that while lifting may help "clear" tires with both fronts straight ahead and driving onroad, but a lift does not affect turning geometry or the size of the wheelwells. Generally, anything above stock will require modification of some sort to get rid of rubbing issues- especially if you plan on offroading
