I have been lurking around since I got my TB back in October.
Figured it was time to join.
A little about me but more so my tb
My name is Dustin, but enough about me.
TB is a 07 swb LT/LS 4wd that is unfortunately stock for the time being
Lift kit should be ordered by end of the month, followed by spacers and shocks
Planning on trying to run a 275/65-18 BFG A/T (yes 18's, its what came on it and I wont be doing anything extreme like some of you do) just need more tread and ground clearance for getting around the property
Other than that, just a brush guard and maybe a rear bumper guard and tail light guards for added protection when going through some of the thicker stuff outback
finally joined

Hey Dustin, I am about 3 hours from you. Let me know if you need help with the lift.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

those tires should run about 32 inches.
With a lift and spacers they should fit though you will likely have a little rubbing if you don't trim.
take a look at the lift chart
viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2290&p=38841#p38841
there are a couple guys runnning 275/70/17 which is close to the same size. They might have more info on what trimming they had to do.
DJones and Karo have been on recently.

Spent most of the day tinkering with the TB and I might actually br ordering either the spacers or lift tonight... pending approval from the "boss"
Thanks for the welcomes, hope to start meeting some of you. Look forward to talking to other people that dont look at 360's as grocery/soccer mom-mobiles lol
