what do you generally do about rims? the factory ones won't support 31in tires.
We have run them on factory rims (although not ideal) we usually have sets of after market alloy wheels ex Japan, and they are usually wider then stock and capable of fitting a 31in tire.

The temperature gauge is bang on what I get "after" changing the thermostat and rad cap. The gauge read at a quarter in both vans spiking over hills and long, hot highways - originally. I believe Ccauto does this work to all Delicas he sells, and maybe others do to.

The 31" BFG A/T will fit on a stock Deli rim, but will balloon out causing uneven wear - they are a 10.5" wide tire. Even my 30 BFG's balloon a bit. James(Doc) mentioned a cool off-road tire that comes in a 31"x9.5" size, and they are at a fair price here in town.

I should have mentioned that my auto has 30inch tires and warmland's manual has 29s or smaller. Combine the tire size difference with the gearing difference and that makes a large difference.
