So, my original oem muffler died on me. so I decided to install a doble pipe using both pipes that was is the salvage muffler and my original one. so i when fron 2.5" of diameter to 4.7" of total diameter of exhaust pipe. it has the cat converter and only one silencer that has 2 pipes in and 2 pipes out please check pics @sally.overland in instagram http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/604b51d8a3e72/VID_23621122_042915_785.mp4

Yeah this sounds exactly like the issue I had before I changed my trailing arms. I just did the lowers and it got rid of the sway, but it’s a good idea to do the uppers as well. They control the twisting of the axle under load/braking and if the lowers are crapping out then it’s likely the uppers are pretty close behind. Only reason I did the lowers alone was because the uppers were already done a couple years prior

https://www.ebay.com/itm/182445594617 I’d highly recommend color coding if you have the patience. In the long run it will make rewiring & diagnosis easier. SUPER happy with this item from BP Automotive btw, superb quality. That said, it’s bulky for sure. Not a problem at the A-Pillar for trucks without air bags but probably an issue with them. It’s just going to be ALOT of wires. While less robust, that’s part of the reason I’m going with one of these below on the Pathy. @02_Pathy put his in front of the shifter & it’s perfect. 8 Gang & the lights are down out of your peripheral vision where they won’t bother you at night. Plus, much easier to wire. Though admittedly not as robust as the system I put in the 4Runner.

Quick update. The Wilco dual rotopax bracket, license plate relocation bracket, and rotopax pack mounts, fuel cans, and a water can came in a couple of weeks ago. Finally had time and good weather today to mount them up to the Wilco Hitchgate: The next project will be to figure out a way to wire in some LED bolt lights I got to use as license plate lights. Anyone know a good way to get some wires inside the cargo area from underneath? May have to drill but we’ll see... Also got a chance to head up to Mount Hood for a little snowshoeing last weekend. First chance to try everything out in the snow. There wasn’t a ton of snow until the last 1/4 mile or so on dirt roads but these tires seemed to hook up very well and there was almost no slipping. So far very pleased with the build and looking forward to more winter outings in the next couple of months!

Wilco Hitchgate spare tire carrier finally arrived. I went with the high clearance model. It isn’t cheap but it’s well designed and built like a tank. The spare tire relocation bracket and Rotopax mount bracket (which mounts between the tire and rear hatch) is still backordered but I’ll post pics when those arrive.

Wheels painted, and tires mounted. I’m pretty happy with the results! Went with General Grabber ATX’s in 31x10.5. They are quieter than I expected for as aggressive as they are but they do rub quite a bit more than I was expecting in reverse so I need to figure that out... Next is figuring out what to do with the spare. Wilco seems to think a Hitchgate high clearance will work with the Curt Hitch, I just need to decide if I want to spend $700 on that, or mount it in a roof basket...

Year: 2005 lift : OME 2" coils - KYB Struts - OME Shocks Wheels : Patrol Wheels 16" Tires : BF Goodrich A/T - 265/70 R16 Notes: No rubbing at all exceopt when the steering is full and the terrain is eneven . The tire being so close the strut is a concern but then again this distnce is supposed to be static so didnt go for a spacer . Regards The Crow

I don't want to go with anything wider 'cause I figure this width has been fine. Plus more rubber means more weight, and I would think it would be harder to turn with a wider wheel. Also I like them tall and skinny. And I've heard tall skinny tires do better in mud, which is mostly what we have here in Florida as far as offroading goes. No rock crawling here.

There's actually 13 different A/T tires available in 245/75-17 on tirerack.com. Plus, when it is time for new tires, I'd want to go significantly taller. Going from a 245/65 to a 70 on a 17-inch rim only nets about half an inch more ground clearance, while a 75 would give about an inch. I appreciate the suggestion though.
