the 255/100 is expensive here too, about 300€ is a good price! You will get it at any truck-tire-shop. And yes, we always travel tubeless.
It´s a perfect touring tire with wordwide availability and very good performence on piste, lava, rocks etc and even on road. But it is not very good in sand and dunes and the HZJ78 will be quite high and tippy..The spare tire has to go in the car or on the roof, even a kaymar will not last with the weight on piste...
And the whole set up will not be heavy duty!!
The gearbox form 78 and 79 likes to brake.
We fitted 4.88 Diffs, in the front a spacer ring is needed, further OME Heavy Duty and the front fenders need some "remodeling" (not for the use of old 9.00XS, then a hammer will do)
To get it street legal we had to limit maximum speed to 110km/h (speed index K and no M&S signature)
With carefull driving we had no problems, but we decided to start all over with J80 technic and 325/80 (in case of emergency a 255/100 spare will be just 1 cm smaler) quote Expedition Builds, travelling cruisers

the front section by the wheel has me concerned, you wheel flexes back and up and it looks like there might be interference. i would suggest cutting the front edge on about a 40 degree angle...
looks nice..

Nooby question i know..
But how come i always see the underside of the cars on this form have a ton of rust? Isn't there an undercoating that would help.. Also, does the fact that some of the cars on this forum off road in mud, or close to salt water add to the rust factor?

that would be like asking someone from Kuwait why their paint fades...
steel rusts when wet, so... add salt and the reaction is faster... so... if you live in a wet region the trucks will rust ... eventually... weither from the outside in or, takes longer, from the inside out...

+1 about the fading paint! Paint, plastics, windows seals, engine hosing, dashboard color, and even the rubber on the shock absorbers, all dry out or lose color or elasticity..
Stupid heat! I guess 47 degrees celsius for a couple of months and sand as fine as flour rubbing against the paint from shifting sands will do wonders for the exterior; or in your case water and salt to the chassis...
Thanks!

Mine isnt to rusty underneath, no salt on the roads here. Main rust was behind the factory flares which collect mud and crap, not to bad considering its 23 years old now.

I have considered that, with my tyres which measure about 35.8'' they JUST cleared the factory guards at the read, when I did the chop I choped the rear opening back about 20mm and made the bar to that, so should clear, if not i'll do some more chopping!

Very nice. I especially like the rolecage you have mounted. How is this attached? I see it runs to the sliders, is it welded there or do you have it rigged to be removeable?
Cheers

I agree a well setup leaf spring can put coils to shame
