[Monache Meadows Trail Trip]

Just came back from offroading/camping trip at Monache Meadows. Trail was fun especially for me as a newbie. On the way back from camp site (along the river by the way) to ranger station, it took as 2 hours to get through the trail.

Great write up Miles!!! Hoping to see lessons learned and advice on this thread.

[18” Tires for LR4]

Finally trimmed the frame horns this past few days. Used a HF body saw which took 30 mins to cut the 1/8” thick metal. Avoided using cutting disc as I was not comfortable with the tight spot to work on.

Verdict: No rubbing all around when lifted to 50mm. 30-45mm lift tends to rub with the front plastic of fender when turning. Maybe after a good tread wear of this M/T tires over time will the rubbing go away. 

Next step to check is the rear pinch seams if it needs to be flattened. Hopefully, this is the last mod to fit this tire. All worth it though.

It’s rubbing at normal height and worst at access. I adjusted the height to 50mm with Gap tool and now only rubs with the frame horn when turning.

Went with 275/65/18 Yokohama Geolander G003. Im all smiles with the new look. Definitely need modifications due to rubbing.

What about E load rating (10 plys), i thought E is the recommended rating for LR3/4 due to weight.  I’m also looking for 275/65/18 as another option since there better selection for M/T tires such as KM3, Geolander G003 (looks good) but might need to do modifications to clear rubbing. 

 

[18” Tires for LR4]

Just scored a set of 18” wheels (Redbourne Alston) and need recommendation for size and brand (based on your experience)

Definitely not intending to rock crawl, enong to tackle moderate trails (i.e, Mojave, Anza Borrego). Also dont want major modifications. I have Gap tool and 2.5” lift rod (not yet installed and dont know if its needed).

Based on forum post, 265/65 is the way to go. Thanks.

Installed a Gobi rack. It took 7 months wait but its worth it. Just need to decide roof light setup.
