I saw the light!!
ivantruckman replied to SuperchargedRS's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
all of my loyales dont have foam inside the bumper, they only have a light ( 16 guage) backing frame , covered with a plastic shell. i think the lights would vibrate a lot, unless you mounted them with a heavier steel backing plate -

Tire help size vs weight and gearing?
ivantruckman replied to lilpusher's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
im running 205 65 15s on my wagon, i take it you dont have a hi/lo manual trans, i usally run in low all the time im off pavment , basically 45 mph is like running 60 mph , i can climb hills no problem, but i dont have mountains here -
is this a push button auto trans ?? you may have different size tires on it, or different types of tires. or even some worn tires mixed with new tires . if you can try to take the car to some loose sand or dirt and then try to take it out of 4x4
