Hey Tim,
Ride up on the highway wasnt bad, the track is so wide it does want to "climb" the ruts in road and 1900rpm at 65mph(4.88), getting close to 14mpg!! And when I aired down found out the knuckle heads had 40psi in there. Real smooth ride home with 29psi. And the weird thing is I had bump steer with the 35's but not with these? On the trail i was aired down to 15psi, will probably try 10 0r 12 next time out, load range D. My 35's were E.
And i was too wide for a least one trail obstacle between two trees. All in all they look great, i love Toyo's on the trail, but for the type of wheeling i like, think breakage isa comin!
Oh yeah, dude we needed you(snorkeled) for a couple holes, i droped into a pit and front tires dissapeared, i was so nervous and watching ahead i didnt realize how deep it was until water started filling my boots!! Ty had to hook me out
May turn my fogs into fish bowls!

Hey Andy what back spacing do those rims have and any issues with rubbing on the inside? Any time frame on getting the bodywork done?

40psi must have felt a bit rough lol, one of the guys I wheeled with had 37's and the shop put 55lbs in them he was getting beat. You should get those ORE Reinforcement Gussets for your front axles. and maybe some custom axle truss for the rear. Give Troy a call I'm sure they could come up with something.

@ i droped into a pit and front tires dissapeared, i was so nervous and watching ahead i didnt realize how deep it was until water started filling my boots!

Andy, do the cops ever give you a hard time about your tires sticking out past your flares? Are those the narrow ones, or the ones that are wider than stock? And what lift do you have?

It's not fun having any carnage, but it was certainly a test to get the XJ out from where it was. Definitely an experience, and we all learned from that.

Andy's jeep rides smooth, we got a few hours road time in it Saturday night! Smooth, but definitely nerve making seeing that much tire out the side form the interior! Never realized how small 35's were! Thakn Andy for making me feel like a stocker!

As for the shocks, just depends on the lifts. Some want them one way, others want them the other. No big deal really, also as I told you on the trail Nick, loose the boots!
