-Clearance twin sticks a little better (bitch is popping out of four high on deceleration)
-Mount the Rockers
-Install PSC Power Steering Pump

He's a handsome man, he must have had one ugly milk man back in the day! :flipoff2:
For a yotard, it's looking good Chris. I hated to see the IFS go, would have been nice to see you wheel the piss out of it!
I did wheel the piss out of it, that is how I blew it up!
Ok after talking to 406 YJ over on Pirate for a good long while about tearing these wheels apart, I am going to attempt it tomorrow. I wanted to justify doing it myself so I called two local "off-road" shops this morning and one told me it was too much effort for them and the other quoted me $320 for all four.:rolleyes: I am glad they made up my mind for me!
Got two done today. This ****ing blows. In the future I am just ordering new PVC inserts when I change tires. Thank god these tires are damn near disposable!
It will be easier next time you do it. It took me about an hour a tire to dismount old SXs from the H1 rims and install them on my IROKS
which runflats/inserts are you using?
406 yj's PVC inserts. Suckers don't bend or flex at all. They are super easy to get into the new rockers they are just a bitch to get out of the stiff ass goodyear mt's. I am tearing up the beads pretty good.
You're not spitting on them near enough. ;)
*** actually I am using KY. No joke works like a charm in getting the inserts in the new tires!
Well here is a pic in the day of the Tacoma. I was unloading it from the trailer and the wife thought it was picture time.

Ok on to the nitty gritty, I would estimate it took about two hours a wheel/tire combo to unfawk the crappy ass H1 tires from the H1 rims, rip an insert out, put the insert into the tire with some beads, make sure the O-ring is seated right and not come out at the last minute and then bolt the 12 bolts down as hard as I could. It was a learning experience and next time it will go a lot faster.
Here I was pissed at the bead and making sure it broke.

When those front springs settle in a bit, I bet it will set just right.
I don't know what you used to tighen the bolts down, but I just crisscross with an air impact and call it good. If I had plans to do a good bit of street driving I would probably put a torque wrench to them.
looks to clean, needs more body damage so u can look cool like brian
need good pics with new tires
I drove it to work today so I will take a mall crawler pic of it in the garage.
