absolutely you'd have to redo the trim with the proper line around the flare, same on the front, just did not feel like editing that in the picture
I used a photoshop clone ont he pac, Pixelmator
Good one, Mine had the factory tow package and has the 3.31 gears.Srdayflyer wrote: ↑Wed May 10, 2023 8:46 pm do the math on axle gear ratios required to permit proper engine rpm and torque to those wheels, on mine the original gear ratio was 2.73 sitting on H78x15 tires the calculated effective ratio had i not changed the ratio to the current of 3.73 sitting on 32x11.5x15's would have been 1.78 with the 32's and the 2.73 gears as you can see just lifting your rig and adding BIG TIRES, will have its issues, just thought you should know as most dont factor this in, there are all kinds of ratio/tire swap charts on line to help you sort this issue out just and FYI
I made the bottom version exactly for that reason:sierrablue wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 4:11 pm
PLEASE tell me if you do a w/t conversion you'll just trim the rear flare and glue/weld part of it on the door, rather than shifting it down...shifted down is all well and good, but it messes so much with the look of the body lines, and with the w/t you need the extra clearance anyway...
Yeah with however many bajillion gears (yes, yes, it's just 8) you have tied to that Hemi, I'm sure it'll find a good gear lolwimsurf wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2023 4:02 amGood one, Mine had the factory tow package and has the 3.31 gears.Srdayflyer wrote: ↑Wed May 10, 2023 8:46 pm do the math on axle gear ratios required to permit proper engine rpm and torque to those wheels, on mine the original gear ratio was 2.73 sitting on H78x15 tires the calculated effective ratio had i not changed the ratio to the current of 3.73 sitting on 32x11.5x15's would have been 1.78 with the 32's and the 2.73 gears as you can see just lifting your rig and adding BIG TIRES, will have its issues, just thought you should know as most dont factor this in, there are all kinds of ratio/tire swap charts on line to help you sort this issue out just and FYI
I anticipate that the overall tire size should not be any bigger than 30.5 maximum. that would be about 1" taller than I have now.
with my transmission ratio (6th is 1;1. 7 and 8 are overdrive and final ratio is 1:0.67) that would mean 1500 RPM is 60 MPH.
nice and quiet cruise and with that engine speed I have about 340 lb-ft of torque available..
The MR-701 looks amazing, but I could not find them in 6-lug, I'm looking around now for something that looks a bit period correct, so a couple of wheels that look like turbines, or some us-mags 101 in 17x9
Strange, I know several people with them on Toyotas.
I have seen people powder coat them white which gives them more of a classic look.Yeller wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2023 3:59 pm I love the us mag U101. Running them in 15x9 on my truck. What I have issue with is in 17” is the back spacing, they stick out 1” too far to fit my truck.
FYI Method does offer the 701 in 6 lug. I just wish they offered them in machined finish. In color they look too modern even though you could get bronze colored original spoke wheels on some FSJ’s stock.
