I considered those, but they are a little conical for my taste on a sequoia - which has a lot of rounded lines. I liked the updated 5-spoke look a little better.

These tires are only an inch bigger, slightly wider, more agrressive tread. So I dont expect to see much of a difference. Before the lift I got about 21-25 highway, and combined driving about 14-15. AFter the liftI got about 21-25 highway, and combined driving about 14-15. I love this truck...

Found the wheels that will work with this lift and 33" tires - Fuel Anza 566.... Hers the truck with the same lift, wheels, and 33" tires....

That damn Rockland County 10M repeater is rebroadcast on 146.46 from up there. A good antenna can pick it up. They are in the simplex band. Oh well

Before: After - the lift is in, but no tires yet...

Well the lift is in. Real nice. 33x12.50 fit, but on stock wheels these 33x12 touch the upper control arm. Going to have to buy wheels with at least 4.5" back space.

stand by.....

Im thinking more as a cautionary note than pointing at anybody. I have seen some forums where the established hams really laid it on thick. A couple right here on OB. I like to think of this group as inclusionary, and I hope we can maintain that in all our discussions. Sorry to offend anyone...

We should never be such equipment snobs that we run people off. Its a hard area to understand at first, and we need to make it easier, not harder.

I imagine not - it probably accommodates European and asian band plans

Photos follow. The wiring setup for now (temp) is wire-nutted to a pigtail 12V plug. I did this so I could work on antenna options and programming the radio, which is difficult on this model. The perm wiring setup is awaiting parts I ordered. The wiring for the radio will run to a 6-fuse...

It works! Now to program it....

There arent any flat surfaces or straight lines in this truck LOLOLOLOL Found a spot where its easy to reach, doesnt foul my leg or knee, and isnt readily visible from outside.

Im about to begin the installation of my mobile rig in the Sequoia. Before I do, any photos of your install for ideas? Time's running out.....
