    Toyota Wheels and spacers

    "Chew through" bearings? Not hardly. There will be additional forces aplied to the bearings, so dont plan on getting 200K miles out of them. Just service them like you should, and you'll have no issues. I have in the past, and still do run spacers. NEVER a bearing failure. When installing...

    Scam?

    If you can get a VIN, I can probably dig up some info on the truck.

    Educate Me On Run-Flat Tires

    You've never seen the trunk on one of these I take it..... No room for a pump. Maybe a Krylon can and plug kit. A VERY small compressor may be wishfull. You may thank me somewhere between here and Delta someday. ;)

    Educate Me On Run-Flat Tires

    Hey, I've got one of those pumps. You trying to tell me something kid?? :D The cylinders I'm thinking of (by biker, I don't mean those with pedals) are about the size of a Krylon can, and supposed to be good for a couple different tire fills. But I'm sure it's just like the little bicycle...

    Educate Me On Run-Flat Tires

    The more I've checked into it, the less I'm likely to buy into another set of run flats for several reasons. First of course is the extra expense, but I've found out that NOBODY stocks these tires. So, assuming I did limp it into the nearest tire store, or even a dealer, I'll still be as broke...

    Educate Me On Run-Flat Tires

    Ok guys, enlighten me on Run Flat tires. My car has no spare, and no place to ever fit one. Instead, GM uses run flat tires. I guess that's not a bad thing, but the $1700 a set is! So, I'm kind of thinking of getting away from the run flats, which would save me almost a grand every tire...

    That's none of your damn business. Well that, and I'm afraid to tell you because the "Family Tree" up there is just a stump.

    tranny rebuild?

    Yeah, it was a Rubicon. I won't go there but in a nut shell the 4:1 sucked. Nice ratio, but too bad you can't shift it back and fourth. I was thinking back to my CJ days, but I always had a V8 so the lack of torque never did bite me. Then again, the extreme trails 20 years ago are nothing by...

    The call out didn't scare me, but you've got me worried! Oh, and I anit skeered of Bryson. I've got a cupbord full of Top Ramen I can scatter about to throw him off my trail.

    tranny rebuild?

    Ah, I get it. I've always gone low stall to get that little bit of help going down long hills, but I can see where the higher stall might come into play on extreme stuff.

    Ah yes, GM marketing..... I have a Turbo-Jet 350. I know the 350 all too well, but damn if I can find that Turbo. And as far as I'm concerned, GM owes me a Jet as well! Now, for calling people out. Let me give you a little history lesson. I married a girl from Duchesne well before you were...

    My new ride... a Lexus?

    Can I be second? This "Jeepless" thing is getting on my nerves already. :D Like was said, don't use PB. 1/2" Marine Grade will hold up well (what I had in the back of my XJ), and is easily found.

    tranny rebuild?

    Just to add to Shawn's post, the last one I built went as follows: Rebuild kit (without steels). $126 Shift Kit $35 Torque converter $90 Now, just something to consider or enlighten me on. Why the high RPM converter? Personally...

    GMC / Chevy can someone tell me what type of axle this is

    Wouldn't they be 10 bolt front, 12 bolt rear? I know my Blazer is a 44 front, 12 bolt rear. But it is a little older.
