The wheels are 13" -- can anyone tell me if the wheels can be changed to 14" or will the wheel well boxes need to be modified or changed. Speaking of which, the wheel well boxes appeared to be in good shape but square. Can anyone tell me when the wheel well boxes were changed? I recall that the boxes were changed to an arch shape.

Last can anyone tell me what is involved with adding a lift kit to a TM?

Thanks,

I had a '98 and the bed platforms were foam cored.

The beds being Ply doesn't necessarily mean that the walls are too.

The round wheel wells came in 2002 or 2003 (I think). My '04 has them. A lot of members have upgraded their earlier TMs with rounded, reinforced wheel wells.

Check-out this link about installing a lift kit:

I have a good set of used 14" tires & wheels (still have the nubbies on the tires)........to bad you don't live closer.
