Re: before and after, or this morning and afternoon
So are you going to do it yourself or have the dealer do it. I am very courious to know because I want to get these tires but my draw back was that of the air ride sensors breaking. My dealer told me that you can not move them.

So it looks like this peice was moved from the front to behind? Is that right? If so How do you do it?
And do you move just the top part or the bottom as well?

lol, to be honest, i have to talk to drmiles some more about it. im planning on doing it on friday. im under the impression that drmiles did it himself and that it was pretty easy.
he explains it somewhat to me at this link, http://www.kylebennett.com/showthrea...1&page=1&pp=10 its on the third page, that thread also has some pics of his ride with the same tire doing some offroadin. hope this helps you out some.

Bully, you have the 37" BFG M/T's right? How's the gas mileage and highway ride with the larger tire diameter? I'm looking at either the 35's or the 37's in the Toyo.... - been looking for a while

Re: before and after, or this morning and afternoon
I'll try to explain. Been two years since I dun it. First the connector rod is attached to the lever arm on the sensor. On the outside it is rubber, on the insice is a hard plastic pin that travels through the center or the rubber piece. Mine broke the hard pin. I then drilled out the rest of the pin making a small 1/16th hole in the rubber piece. Then took a number 6 sheet metal screw, placed the connector rod with the hole in the rubber, on the inside of the sensor lever arm. Then secured it with the #6 sheet metal screw from the outside through the lever arm into the connector rubber end.
Hope that helps. It is easy once you get the arm apart
Also not sure but you should be able to pry the pin out with a flat head screw driver. Don't worry if you break it.

Re: before and after, or this morning and afternoon
FYI, I broke the driver side twice, then broke both in one ditch before I figured out a fix.
Good Luck

No I still have my stock tires, I am in the same boat as you trying to figure out what I should get. the BFG's or the Toyos. I know Oldhiker has the 37 BFG's.

Re: before and after, or this morning and afternoon
one thing to think about is, the bfg's are 12.5 wide and the toyos are 13.5 wide. if you want the look of a little more tire under you go with the toyos, if you want a little less rubbing, go with the bfg's. my deciding factor was i wanted a little wider tire for the looks. also, if you shop around at different discount tire stores and ntb stores, you can get them to price match www.tiredeals4less.com prices, which are dirt cheap. you just need to go back and forth and they will continue to beat each others prices. i got my five installed, mounted, and balanced for 1500 out the door. hope that helps you guys out. and make sure to post up some pics when you get them installed!
