Slee 6", toyo 37x13.50r17, 4.5" bs steelies. Adding maf spacers to the front in the morning. No trimming yet, rear rubs, more droop should help it stuff into the wheel well better, and i need to trim the tin where the mudflaps came off, rubbing a bit
No spacers, just the 3" body lift and some careful trimming. Going to see how it does this weekend at Rausch Creek.
1997 LX. J's in front with 1" MAF spacer, 863's in rear. 1.5" wheel spacers. 37x12.5x17 Goodyear MTR with Kevlar on FJC rims.
Big thanks to Akarilo.

One of our rep's known as "Murph" built this 1997 FZJ80 as his first land cruiser project. The goal was something that could wheel, as well as commute. We wanted to take a bit different of an approach by keeping the suspension at standard 2.5" OME spring height so we could retain driveline angles, COG, driveability etc. We also wanted to run big tires, so we took off the flares to see what kind of cutting we could do while keeping it looking good. We also wanted to use all off-the shelf parts that we sell.

I know there are a lot more of you running 37s.
Don't be shy!
Don't forget the specs, lift, tires, BS, gears etc...
As this thread has progressed, it seems lift size is getting lower.
A 3 to 4 inch lift with 3.5 to 4 inch wheel backspace seems to be the sweat spot.

My old pic shows my Nittos but they wore out in 55000 miles, so just imagine them being Cooper STTs. I'm too lazy to repost for the change.
LT345/75R16 T/A KM2 I have a J up front, running 860 rear. Nitro 5.29 ARB-RD 132 front and RD 142 rear Air Lockers. I used all toyota cases bearings seals and flanges for assembly. Metal Tech Plates up front.

I had to pull her out In the rain because we were putting an exhaust on a Lexus and snapped a couple shots. You wont see me out till the snow and salt are gone now.
Hope to have It ready for a couple shows by Spring. Thank you very much.

Most of us around here with this setup just trimmed the rear of the flairs and extended the bumps. Not sure if his is the same. Too many rigs with this combo .

No trimming, his bump stops still need to be extended a little because the front rubs a bit more than it should.
4" lift with stock backspacing (4.5" I think it is?) and it stuffs nice with just a tad bit of rubbing on the rear bumper.
Don't ya hate that ? You take them out to the trails so they have some fun and they decide to lay down on their side and take a nap. 80s have a mind of their own !! The 38 TSLs look FANNN TASTIC Though !!! LOL
my 37x12.5R17 Cooper STT Pro's just came in, should have them mounted tomorrow.....cant wait! will post some pictures when they are on!

Isn't it just Awesome to be so excited about something like new tires that you just can't stop yourself for just one more day from telling everyone in the whole world about your new tires.
Looking forward to seeing the 1st set of 37" STT Pros on a 80.
