FJ75 Before and After

Pics of my 91 FJ 75, bought from the Military. It is still a work in progress but it's coming along well. Look forward to talking with any registered 75 owners in the states. S/F, Spark...

what size of tyres do you have on this picture?
what wheel offset?
I am getting to buy a set of 33" for my KZJ70 with (planned) 2" lift and just wonder whether to go 10.5" or 12.5"

Thought i'd post up some pics of my cruisers current state and the new rear bar I knocked up the other day. Not finished yet thought need to cut quarters and extend it to the guards.

Here's my new little toy. A KZJ78W 3.0L turbo. I'm loving it so far. The only mods are 16 inch wheels and Goodrich tires.





I'll add some better pics soon.
