I haven’t gotten my BFG KO2s yet, but I’m hoping if it’s not too wet my stock Michelin Defenders will do the job as Lon as there will be someone out there to recover just in case.

How are you liking the Nittos? I live in the northeast, currently on KO2s, but just love the look of those Nittos. I am wondering though how the do in the snow?? and on wet roads...... Just waiting for this high clearance mod to come in. Ordered up from SSO back in November, and still waiting!!

@WanderlostOverland

5 жыл бұрын

The Nittos do well in snow and even good on ice. A heavy downpour where there's an inch of rain on the road causes a little bit of hydroplaning but that's rare. We're very happy with them.

one other question. Have you folks had to upgrade front or rear springs with the added wt? I'm going with the slimline new rear bumper. Already have the OME +440 springs on the rear, but i did order up some 650springs for my front King Coilovers. getting a lot of nosedive and having to set too much preload for an even stance with the standard kings springs

So after doing this mod, what size tires could you fit with a 3 inch lift kit? 33”? 35”? Or would they still rub in the back side of the fender near the doors....

@WanderlostOverland

4 жыл бұрын

33"s will fit even without the huge high clearance cut if you trim a little of the inner fender and push it forward a bit. Fitting 35"s will definitely require a body mount chop.

I wonder how much bigger tires you can put on with this clearance? Also, do you feel the suspension “inner fixins’ “ are too exposed? Is that something to not be worried about? Dirt, rain, road grime, etc.?

@WanderlostOverland

3 жыл бұрын

The cut makes it possible to run 285/70/17 with absolutely no rubbing. The exposure of the suspension doesn't cause any concern. However the backside of the foglights are exposed to everything slung up by the tires.

If you cut a bit less of the body, would it have fit into the "wings" better and hidden more of the weather strip or is that going to show regardless?

@WanderlostOverland

3 жыл бұрын

The body butts up to the wings. After our first offroad trip we realized that there actually needs to be a space between the body and bumper wings to accommodate the flexing of the body vs. frame.

I'm in the process of installing this myself. Do you happen to remember the size of the body mount bolt for the washer resavor?

There is so much crap and plastic out in ahead of the front tires it's amazing. This is not just a Toyota problem I guess but a modern vehicle problem. I just can't deal with it though. Everything older has so much more clearance even at stock ride height. This gen of vehicle just hasn't grown on me either style wise. People love them but they still look fugly and terribly optimized for clearance to me. Cool product and video though.
