Re: Lug Nut size specifications

Thanks for sending the extra wheel stud, Leslie. Very much appreciate it. Here are the measurements in case anyone has luck finding compatible studs. I emailed the specs to Dorman, but guessing that's a long shot they'll respond/have something.

Re: Lug Nut size specifications

Been searching the forum so hopefully I didn't miss this, but anyone know replacement wheel studs that will work? Had one strip when putting the new wheels on. Would prefer to have one handy before I bang the old one out...

Re: Original 60 series Patrol wheels, and substitutes

Hah, no doubt on the new springs, Leslie. Much appreciated! I ordered the wheels first, mounted them, and mocked-up cardboard wheels to check the fit. Happy surprise on what I could fit. Would still want to add height if serious about going offroad. Here's what the same sized tires looked like on my...

Re: Original 60 series Patrol wheels, and substitutes

Good stuff here; I used this thread to help find my new wheels. Went with FJCO 16x6 Aluminum Wheels with 265/75/16 BFG T/A KO3 (31.7" x 10.4"). Highlighted green in the attached table. Compared to the OEM wheels with 29" x 7" tires (highlighted blue), the new set-up pushed the wh...

Re: Limey's New Home

Appreciate it. Wheels are 16x6 FJCO Expedition with BFG T/A KO3 265/75/16 (31.7" x 10.4"). I built a table with different wheel/tire combos to compare the overall offset/height change to stock. I'll post it over in the thread I used as a starter to keep everything in one spot: "Origin...

Re: 67 Patrol in TN

I’d have to go back and see if it says on the invoice, but I believe I went 3 inches. Maybe 2.5. That’s about all I could - or wanted - to do without having crossmember issues.

Re: 67 Patrol in TN

Here's a small cache of parts that come with the Patrol. Not sure if those points are right for the Patrol. They look exactly the same, but I haven't tried them as mine is ok. Picked them up on eBay probably 10 years ago. The seller thought they were correct so I couldn't pass. I know that reflector...

Re: 67 Patrol in TN

Sure, here's a pic of the wheel and tire spec. I spent a lot of time measuring to get the stance just right (IMO)! I debated between the black and white wagon wheels, but ultimately couldn't pass on the tan-black combo. Had the Patrol been a brighter color (blue/red) I would have gone with the white...
