Baby got a new pair of shoezzzz... Tiny bit taller than the last set of big shoes. Wished Toyo would have offered these when I bought the first set of big ol' shoes.

Size?

Two guesses, and the smaller one doesn't count..

I’m only taking one guess. 39.

42's my good sir. Biggest Toyo tire they make, and they are 17"!! I love them so far. Quiet, straight as can be, and this being the third set of Toyo M/T's I've owned, always got my money and mileage out of them. Price was awesome for the size. 12$ more than a 40" per tire so I had to get them. It is also the trigger I needed to get the tons under it and these will kinda accelerate that requirement. Haven't done em yet as I've made the drivetrain survive without issue on 40's with plenty of abuse. Knowing full well I'm on borrowed time.

Oh my god. Just wow.

Those were my fully exhausted comps behind it.. It was time.

Reminds me of the good old days before we all had windshields.

Back in the early 90s I was riding a Sportster on US 331 north of Destin Fl and I got hit in the eye with a green hard-shell bug, I neatly laid the bike down. The next day my eye was infected and swollen shut. Oh, the good old days.

Loving the redlines. I’ve been avoiding them for a long time. Does anyone know if they work, clearance wise, with a voswitch installed?

They do on my 2020.

The replacement steering stabilizer came in from Rock Krawler. I love it. Super beefy. I had to shave down 3/32” off each side of the axle side bushings/sleeve, with RK’s prior blessing, to fit my bracket with an 1 3/8” opening. But that went very well using the jet bench sander. The tie rod clamp was the confirmed culprit for the previous failure. The bolt pulled out of the clamp. This one I don’t think has a chance in hell if that happening. It’s solid. I drove around the yard with the swaybar disconnected to check clearances, and so far can’t see a problem. I could find one later, but hopefully not.

Shaping and sizing bushings is SOOO messy with a sander, but see you have a vac attachment for it. Otherwise that rubber dust is everywhere as bad as saw dust.

No question. It’s just my m18 vac, but it was enough for the tiny amounts I was taking each time. I kept going back to the Jeep to make sure I didn’t take too much.

At the shop... 35's all mounted now waiting on an alignment ...I haven't been this excited about new rubber since high school!

Ordered 12/16/23, shipped 12/18/23 USPS, arrived 12/23/23. Your results may vary.

There is a guy on Etsy that makes a better one that includes aux switch wiring for like $70. Shipped in like 3 days

I repainted my bumpers nine days ago and let the paint fully cure. I scuffed them with 1000 grit washed them and wiped them down good. I used 2k satin clear. I’m very happy with the results. I put on two coats. I did the front skid too. Mainly as practice and I’m glad I did because I got some trash in the paint and made some adjustments on the bumper and it came out great. They’re all the same color. It’s just different lighting and angles.
