Been awhile since an update and have had a few changes. Last summer upgraded to a set of 37” Toyos as I was done dealing with the road manners of the iroks

Yeah, the Toyos do drive nice. 2 of mine didn't even need weights to balance them.

I don’t have any weights on my toyos. The ones that needed weight was barely any. They are really nice driving.

Absolutely agree. The noise, ride and stability are not even in the same ballfield. I also gained roughly 100km more fuel range on all driving conditions even with the taller tire which is strange :homer:
I know the toyos get a bad rap in the snow. I did keep my iroks for snow just incase these really sucked. But I was able to get a bunch of runs on them this winter to break them in. Running them down to 3-5psi and they work decent, actually surprised me a few times with the traction. Is an irok better in the snow? probably, but not that much better for me to swap back. The toyos are so much better everywhere else for what I use the jeep for.

I had to make a few changes to the rear bumper with the taller spare my hatch wouldn’t open so had to notch in a spot for the mount to swing out further

Also mounted up my awning and made some mounts for Jerry cans. SUVs suck for carrying extra fuel

Took the Jeep for a 2 week jaunt through the Kootneys. Put 3500km on the jeep and didn't miss a beat. Im shit at taking pics and Unfortunately all the photos I took are panos and are too large to post

When I took my iroks off and went to my 37” milestar on my minivan I gained about 25% in fuel mileage everywhere as well. The width I suspected created so much drag was partially to blame
