Hey All,
We'll its finally happened. Hanging around a bunch of Toyota Driving *&46wits has had its effect. I am now the proud owner of a set of Extreme Trekkers @ 35.5 inches.
They are on!!!
Installation Steps:
- Remove plastic inner guards
- Torsion bars wound up. Approx 1.5 inches.
- Cut front wheel arches out by approx 2 inches on back and front. Work off the top arc and aim for a 2 inch extension at each end.
- Cut out metal under headlights and beat back with mallett as far as possible.
- Bash back metal ridge on the back of the inner arch (near footwell) as far as possible (be gentle!)
- Cover cut metal with rust retardant and paint.
- Add set of flexy flares. (Front & back - about $120)
- Add rear spring packers @30mm. (Cruiser spring packers from Pro-comp @ $80)
- Put tyres on and drive around with a huge grin on your face
Job done. Pics below.
(Recommendation: Get a set of rock crawler gears before even dreaming of putting these tyres on. Otherwise you'll be a rocket sled downhill. We've taken it for a spin in low range with the 35's & crawlers and its ok.)
Go Paj
