400+ views and no responses, someone must have put bigger tires on......

Hi guys I put an OME 50mm lift on my 2011 Prado and am trying to figure out the largest tire I can fit w/o rubbing issues. I know a 285/70/17 will fit from the prado point site, but they are constrained by their road laws in Australia. I don't have such constraints in the Philippines and would...

Wilbur's Bonatti grey paint code LAL. The bikes midnight saphirre blue mettalic if you were wondering.

I painted my 45 bonatti grey.

Picked up a 2011 Dubai version Prado 150 right before I came to work. His name is Arnold (to go along with Wilbur the '76 45 series). Plans are around a 3" lift 285/70/17's and we'll go from there. Keep an eye out in the future for a build thread. Arnold Wilbur lurking in the background...

Wilbur got a little brother today. 2011 150 series prado named Arnold. Look for a future build in the 150 series forum. The kids seem to be playing well together lol. Wilbur's getting some more TLC while I'm at work just tweaking the suspension a bit, new alternator, optima...

Wilbur's home and playing well still have a few small issues to deal with ( charging system, springs overflexing) but overall I'm really happy. The heavy springs helped a lot but still flexed enough I threw one out the rear the first time off road. I'll see if I can find my bamboo bush fix...

We swapped in some stiffer shocks that didn't entirely fix the problem, so some heavier spring rate rear springs are going in now. Sure did flex great with the softies in there.

We made a frame that the coolers and Jerry cans slip into. Then the yetis bolt through the bottom of the cooler with a big od washer with neoprene washers under the steel washers to cushion it a bit. Then the bolt go through the cooler the frame work and the bed.

Ok wasn't getting any feedback so I let it drop. Everything is in just tweaking the suspention a bit it was a bit squirrely in the back. As he stands now. Flex baby flex.... From the rear. You can see the new 80l tank and skid plate in this shot. Spare tire carrier Found...

Subscribed, awesome truck!

Got 37's & 4.11's in my 45lpb with a 13bt and h55f. Works for me but thinking of 4.56's to keep from having to down shift on long uphill pulls.

Wilburs front end is assembled, now 60 series front end SOA sitting on 80 series coils. Looks to me about an inch higher than when he was on leaves SUA (4" lift springs, SR, and Loooong shackles). Surgery starting on the rear 60 series FF SOA and coil install. I'm not real...

This ones not mine....yet! Gratouitous shot of my pare acting the fool.....
