    Anyone using 17” wheels?

    ReadyLift though I'm considering going with Bilsteins. With the ReadyLift and these wheels/tires, the handling gets a bit "floaty" at highways speeds.

    Anyone using 17” wheels?

    The guy I bought my Raptor wheels/tires from was selling them because he went this route. Really good looking wheel/tire combo right there.

    Anyone using 17” wheels?

    They're the OEM 315/70/17 BFG KO2's.

    Anyone using 17” wheels?

    OEM Raptor 17's here. Wheels fit perfect, though tires rub a bit up front at full lock.

    Beautiful country! Love the red, too. I'm not usually a fan of these, but that looks really great! :jawdrop: :hail:

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    Wow, I like that. Looks great! Used my Expedition to haul the family and my bike to Bald Eagle State Forest for a long weekend away. Lots of good riding in the area including tight, technical single track.

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    Thanks for the info. I think I might give the Weathertech's a try. We do the opposite...it's so quiet up here, we have to head to the city for some excitement lol.

    Lookin' good! Which mud flaps did you go with? Edit: just noticed you're in Pittsburgh. I'm about an hour and half north in Franklin.

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    Thanks. I installed the wheels/tires on stock suspension with minimal rubbing. I had to pull the rear passenger side inner fender liner toward the frame a bit to alleviate rubbing. Once lifted the rubbing up front was a bit worse at full lock, but nothing seriously detrimental. Just rubbed...

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    I wanted to start a thread here for everyone to share what they’ve done to (or with) their 4th gen expedition this week (and in the weeks to come). There’s a thread like this on a Land Cruiser forum that I frequent and it’s quite popular. So let’s see what you’ve been working on this week...

    For the audiophiles...will a better phone DAC with higher resolution give me more bass?

    Are you streaming Tidal through Bluetooth?

    Ready Lift 3-2 kit

    Good luck on the install! Post some pics when you're done. FYI - the bolts were 27mm and 30mm.

    Ready Lift 3-2 kit

    Yes, I started this job alone and once I started re-installing the front strut (with spacer) I realized I needed another set of hands. I didn't loosen the upper or lower control arm bolts as recommended, just used a pry bar on each to get enough clearance to re-install the strut assembly. Keep...

    Ready Lift 3-2 kit

    I can't recall specific part numbers, but mine came with a white box labeled F-150 lift or level. Then two additional black spacers for the rear. I used the original nuts to mount the strut to the spacer, then the included nuts to mount the strut/spacer assembly to the body.

    Man, that's a bummer.

    Expedition Overland Build

    I went with the 60" cross bars. Outside of mounting the awning, I'm just putting a Yakima basket up there to stow camp gear for now. The above is a great option for a full platform. Equipt makes a nice setup for my Land Cruiser. Also check out Rhino Rack Pioneer platforms in various sizes.

    Expedition Overland Build

    Original plan was Southwestern Colorado in my Land Cruiser. However, during our trip planning, my buddy found out his wife was pregnant and her pediatrician recommended against the altitude. New plan is Wyoming; Grand Teton, Yellowstone and whatever else we can find. Much less of a need for...

    Expedition Overland Build

    Picked it up here, but sadly all sold out now. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/fs-foxwing-awnings-and-tagalong-tents-sold-out.202394/ If you're a service member, former or otherwise, you can get 45% off retail on the Batwing awning (either side). PM me for details.

    Expedition Overland Build

    Thanks! She's not really built for extreme off roading. At least not yet. Most of what I'll see this summer is back road exploration, some mild trails and getting to and from primitive campsites. The ride with these wheels/tires isn't too far from stock. The ride is a bit more firm and...

    Expedition Overland Build

    Heading out west this summer and have begun building my Expedition into an overland capable family hauler. Not going all out with this...at least yet. Just planning on the basics for this summer; off road capability, ability to sleep 4, basic organization, etc. First up was wheels and...

    OEM Raptor Wheels and Tires

    I haven't put too many miles on it since returning from traveling last week. Mostly just around town, dropping kids off at school, going to work, etc. As expected after installing the wheels and tires, the tires have a bit more road noise. Nothing too drastic, just slightly more noticeable...

    OEM Raptor Wheels and Tires

    I don't doubt that the spacers exacerbate the issue to some degree, but the rear wheels aren't centered in the wheel wells from the factory. Definitely more difficult to notice on the dark colors.

    OEM Raptor Wheels and Tires

    They appear to be a bit forward of center. I can't say I recall specifically, but I'd venture to guess the rear wheels aren't centered in the wheel wells in stock form, either. The effect is a bit more exaggerated in my case.
