They are 31x10.5 Treadwright MTR tread recaps. Good thing I got the MT's- look at the mud in my driveway! Much better! Needs a twist or 2 on the t-bars to level it out, but that will wait til I'm done with the next mod. 88 Trooper, 2.6 5spd 89 Trooper RS 92 Montero Re: My Adventure/Expedition 92 Montero buildup [Re: 4runnerpilot] #956030 07/31/09 02:31 AM Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 10,238 Columbia, SC FrankR Web Wheeler Quote Needs a twist or 2 on the t-bars to level it out, It doesn't look like it to me - at least not in that picture..... it looks great!

It's got an inch or two of rake when its sitting flat. 88 Trooper, 2.6 5spd 89 Trooper RS 92 Montero Re: My Adventure/Expedition 92 Montero buildup [Re: 4runnerpilot] #956032 07/31/09 02:43 AM Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 10,238 Columbia, SC FrankR Web Wheeler Monteros look good with a little rake - and may even get better gas mileage that way - particularly when loaded. Changing tires didn't change the attitude of the vehicle.

Your Montero should be able to handle that size of tire. But then again, I dont know with the 92 cause they didnt have the factory body lift 99JAOS2"& OME 2"body 4.90s ARB HS9500i Skids&Ladder 16"315BFG JAOSRemote& Rack 3Row Rad IPF back& Searchlite HID Overhead Console/CB switchPanel FrARB RrLocker TJMSnorkel 160AAlt Sliders 2nd Tranny Cooler QuickAirII& Tank Rear frame/tank Lift Re: My Adventure/Expedition 92 Montero buildup [Re: Angelo] #956034 07/31/09 03:27 AM Joined: Jul 2002 Posts: 159 Ft Collins, CO 4runnerpilot OP Wheeler I don't think it's gonna rub or anything, I just think it will look a little better. 88 Trooper, 2.6 5spd 89 Trooper RS 92 Montero Re: My Adventure/Expedition 92 Montero buildup [Re: 4runnerpilot] #956035 07/31/09 04:00 AM Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 3,607 An Englishman in Huntersville ...

After seeing Alex Cogan's install of an ARB from a Jeep Grand Cherokee, and then finding the same bumper near me for a great deal- on it went. Some mods to the original mounting brackets from ARB, a couple custom spacers, some drilling and a handful of grade 8 bolts later..... the bumper first test fit- needs trimming! measure lots of times, cut twice! installed. Now, I need to find a winch and some other stuff.

Few things change the look/function of your truck quicker than beefier tires and a bullbar. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> 1991 HZJ77, 1999 KZJ90, 1999 UZJ100, 1992 M101CDN2 https://www.thegearheadproject.com/category/jdm-journeys/ Page 2 of 4 1 2 3 4 Moderated by  4x4Wire, Macka, Mudraider, off-roader, PHIL_, rxinhed  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts
