So how many miles does the replacement engine have on it?

 

That makes it sound like I'm in trouble

 

Like 120 something. I bought my truck Late Jan early Feb of 17 with 150k on it and until last weekend it had right around 200k on it. Not an easy 50k I put on it either. Since about Jan-Feb of this yr. I've been putting far less miles on my truck than I use to.

It did but between @EatSleepTacos and @Montauk17 coming in clutch to get me recovered and off the trail safely and back to camp then helping to arrange U-haul that helped a ton took a lot of burden off my shoulders. Then @FadedComa giving me a ride to get the dolly and giving it a valient effort towing the truck I couldn't of asked for better guys to wheel with. And @BravesTaco95 for the moral support!

 

Not at all you know better than that. May be talking with Eddy also for some quality parts

 

You got my # shoot me a text or call man!

At the moment I am trying to work a deal on SCSs and dirty5s

 

That’ll be nice then time for a regear. I may have deal on a different truck for you also

 

I must do more research. I need to know how much work it is to fit 35 under the taco. Got a new set uninstalled in my shed.

 

CMC, lots of trimming, preferably gears, as much caster as you can get. rear is easy just some trimming. Oh gotta make sure your offset/backspacing is right. Spacers may be needed.

 

I got 2 sets of chevy 16.5 inch rims one the wagon wheel the other a rally. But booth 16.5x9 with 8 lug bolt pattern.used to wheel a 77 blazer.

 

Dude no one makes 16.5" tires anymore best just to scrap them and get some 16s or 17s even better. Opens up hundreds of tire options.

 

Different truck????? If I could trade my truck for an Access cab I'd be all over it but an 05-07 only. Also depending on how modded theirs is it's parts swappage. Unless i get a good amt of cash on top.

 

When did tsl stop making them bought a pair not long ago like 8 or 9 yrs ago.

 

You do know that tire manufacturers weather on or offroad use only recc. trashing tires after they are like 5-6yrs old because the rubber deteriorates. They didn't stop making them I am just saying by going to a 16 or 17 in wheel you'll have a lot more tires and sizes to choose from than 16.5. Like a great tire is the Cooper STT Pro and they don't make them in a 16.5

 

I know. Thats y when i blew up the blazer i sold it. A friend fixed it up for pushing snow.

 

Been eyeing these beuties up for some time.

 

Steel wheels are nice easy to weld a rash guard on them or hack the outer bead seat off and weld a beadlock onto them

If you can get them in 8.5" wide then you can get crazy and mount some 37x12.50s up on them!

 

And easly fixed on the trail if u smash a bead. It may have happened more than once.

 

Look like my old wheels.

 

Been there done that!!!!

 

Thats y i want steelies. Aaloy wheels break not bend.
