Everyone was skeptical. It fits!



Now I need to order 4 more.

Boy, that thing is going to look REALLY nice!!! What size tires are those? You are gonna absolutely LOVE those TrXus M/Ts!!!! They ROCK! More pix! (once you get all of 'em mounted!) Later...

Thanks for the compliment, especially from a guy whos truck looks like yours.

I've heard a ton of good things about these TrXus MT's. They're way more aggressive than anything I've ever run. Way more aggressive in person than the pictures show online too.

They're 35x12.5's, which really come out to 34.9x13...say goodbye to my steering.

Nice tires!!! I'd like a set of those for my pathy. I'm surprised they fit on there... are you running System-F's lift up front?

I owe Keith credit for the idea, but it's one I built myself with a few changes. I'm working on trying to make it available to the public as we speak.

Honestly, it surprises me they fit as well. It's only 4.5" lift, and I'm still using stock, saggy coils. I'll most likely upgrade the front to the OME coils which should give me another inch and not have to worry about scraping the fender everytime I hit a bump.

I'm still trying to come up with a creative way of either trimming the flares to fit the actual shape of the wheel well or filling in the holes if I remove them completeley.

You non R50 guys are the best. All they talk about is how bad my gas mileage is going to be and how bad I'm going to mess my steering up. I'll deal with that when the time comes...

your steering isn't as weak as the W/D21 steering. Looks sweet, man that is killer.

looking good

I rode with Keith for a week in AZ... R50 steering is nearly indestructable

Do Tacos kill racks? Same setup pretty much.

I wasn't aware that some Tacos used the same steering setup. Do they have any "known" problems with them?

If I do have trouble with it, a bunch of the newer trucks seem to be using R&P setups which could be swapped in. But, for that much work, might as well just SAS while you're at it.

If anyone has more info on steering I'd like to hear it. Everyone can't stop talking about all the problems I'm going to run into.

Just great.First I was suffering from "lift envy" when I heard about the 4.5" lift.Now its compounded with a even bigger case of "Tire envy" Not sure how much more envy I can take,but that is one sweet looking setup you got there....

all tacos are rack and pinion. that's why they have to find a steering box from an earler IFS truck and swap it in when they go SFA.

I don't think you'll have any problems with your steering, and if you do, cross that bridge when you get to it.

HOTTNESS. Can you turn at all with that on there or are you going to have to trim the bumper as well? And how heavy are those tires? I've heard they're really heavy but most people seem to like them, so jw. Anyway, truck's lookin' SWEET! And I bet it performs a wee bit better now too eh?

Yep, I can turn the full range both ways, with the tire only touching in one spot. The huge side lugs contact part of the plastic inner wheel well liner but that can easily be taken care of.

I'm planning on moving the washer fluid tank to somewhere out of the wheel well just incase I go around a turn and the tire happens to find it's way into the wheel well it's getting ripped off.

my intermediate box is pretty worn, but I have little to no play in the rack. The inner tie rods wear out over time, but that is normal.

Good to hear from you again Keith. It's been awhile since I'd heard anything outta you.
