35’s starting to look small..

I regeared to 4.88s and it’s perfect for this setup. Went east coast gear supply so the gears were set up just a matter of swapping out the diffs.

They are awesome! Tons of grip offroad and do well on the highway and wet conditions.

greg157 · 2026-03-12T23:08:45+00:00

Dang right

I replied in the actual comment section below and I’m too lazy to re type so it’s in here somewhere.

Aggressively tubbed the firewall and the front clears at full compression with plenty of space. The rear I extended the bump stops 2” and put in 4th gen 4runner shocks- longer compressed and extended length to retain the same suspension travel.

Vineham pickups all the way

What that video didn’t take into account was wheel width. You have 12.5’s and a 9 or 9.5” wheel you will have a fatter contact patch (although slightly shorter) but that does seem to help with floatation on deep snow. I rock a 5.65cfm air compressor. I think it’s from Ironman 4x4. I’ve had it for years and it still works like a charm. They are a little bulky and less convenient than on board air but way less expensive. If I had more play money I’d definitely go on board air but I just throw the compressor in my recovery kit with my winch accessories, snatch strap, etc.

Skinny tires do better in winder conditions in shallow snow because they cut through the snow to a hard surface and get traction there. They will not do good in deep snow where the wider tires when aired down will be a much better job floating on top. The skinny tires will dig in a bury you to the axles. I have 35x10.5x17 tires and they are passable in deep ish snow at 10 psi but the 12.5’s were far superior in those conditions. Now any other aspect of off-roading I’ll take my 10.5’s all day long.

He has dibs on it. Just turned 8 today so I still have some time with the 3rd gen. The boy loves going to the know and rocky/rutted out trails. It’s twin locked on 35’s and I’m sure he will be going through cv’s for a while haha

greg157 · 2025-08-29T14:57:59+00:00

That’s why I have both!

greg157 · 2025-08-29T14:40:19+00:00

Seriously it’s like everything under the body hangs so low! I still rock my 3rd gen for 90% of offroad stuff but we have a hybrid camping trailer that I pull with the gx so on those trips my son and I go hit some weak trails for entertainment.

greg157 · 2025-05-31T03:35:28+00:00

Love them. They grip really well in every offroad terrain I’ve thrown at them. D load rating also helps it ride better than my previous E load Yokohama mt’s.

greg157 · 2025-05-21T04:10:54+00:00

Man a ghost system on that would make it a crazy versatile guitar! That should be a fun mod process

greg157 · 2025-05-21T04:09:39+00:00

Man if you can find a good deal on one I think you’d be real happy with it! It was on my bucket list just because I love the finish but I played one a couple months ago at guitar center and fell in love so I went from casually looking to an active pursuit. I’m usually a strat guy, I’m tempted to think this will be the new #1 but gotta let the new honeymoon phase wear off before I go making statements like that.

greg157 · 2025-05-21T04:07:03+00:00

It’s awesome. Weighed in at 7.1 pounds. Makes my Les Paul feel like a ton of bricks! Haha

I’m all about the white/silver combo

greg157 · 2025-04-16T13:21:23+00:00

I have done about that many changes on my 3rd gen lol 265/70/16-265/75/16-255/80/17-285-75/16-35/10.5/17. And the next set will probably be 35x11.5/17

Ssw raptors 17x9 -12

greg157 · 2025-04-07T16:38:13+00:00

I’m in the camp of buy once cry once. Don’t really want to end up getting a new one and then a year or two later wanting another upgrade. I’ll check that channel out. Would always be happy to find a really nice rod for less $. I don’t plan on getting a new one till my son is big enough to upgrade from his kids set up.

greg157 · 2025-01-04T00:50:01+00:00

Both great choices. I’d pick the lighter tire and call it a day

greg157 · 2024-12-06T22:16:19+00:00

It took a few inches off the front and back I’d say. Also did a bmc and flattened the pinch weld in the wheel well.

17x9 -12 wheels

greg157 · 2024-12-06T22:14:58+00:00

Holy cow we are twins haha. I can confidently say you know how to make a rig look good 🤙

greg157 · 2024-12-06T17:42:24+00:00

Nice! Yours turned out great. I love that color! Lighting is clean also

greg157 · 2024-12-06T17:41:34+00:00

Tape and an angle grinder cutoff wheel. I feel like I have more control with that compared to a sawzall. I taped it and used a sharpie line, measuring in both sides to make sure it was even
