Nailed it man. You just helped me bump my plan from 265/70/18 to 275/70/18s... already have a 2" Dobinson's lift so I can see from your setup it's gonna be rad!
Thanks bud, just went through your thread and I like where your head is at, like minds... btw I am at that surf spot occassionally, or also flats fishing inland bays too sometimes..., pull up if ya see me and i’m sure to have a cold beer or a sip of mezcal!

Hey all, longtime member/lurker. It’s almost 15 years later since I bought @dieselcruiserhead ’s HJ60 and took it dow to Old Mexico for work... now I have a baby mama and kid riding around, so I picked up this ‘17 gx460...
So far I have added a Dobinson’s 2” lift, sourced from Kyle at Treaty...
This looks awesome! Does that tire and wheel size combo fit in your spare tire area? Any rubbing with this combo and no lift? Did the taller/thinner tire change the ride?
Dude, I'm back from 12 years in Mexico and my diesel is a bit smoky, radiator toast, some electrical gremlins, glow plug relay evaporated... not to mention it's stuck behind a locked gate at a shop where I am currently in a dispute with the owner, my "friend" who insisted on helping me fix her...
Anybody have one of these from a part out? Or recommendation on where to get one that is not 350 to 500 USD?
28590-56100 is the part number.... been searching board and internet all day and can't find one....
I usually use CruiserDan for parts but I have missed the window for shipping time from him. I am in Mexico, flying in Sat to Wed, need to pick up brake parts. Hopefully just pads but unfortunately maybe calipers and rotors and shoes and drums and wheel cylinders... and then carry all this back...
I'm wondering if anyone has painted their grey 60 series to beige. I'm in Mexico and can get a great price for the premium job, doing the underhood, jams, tailgate, etc... but i'm wondering if anyone has a photo example of how it would look with the grey interior...
i've searched for HOURS...
good tip, appreciate it. what do they call the 60 series in Honduras? In Guatemala? you still tight with anyone down there? maybe I can find a driveable one and bring it up...
I appreciate the encouragement c_g, we traded messages five years ago about that trip... problem is, I should have done it then. Now, I'm on paper machee right where the spring packs connect to the frame rails. There is a whole in the rail you can fit your fist through once I got all the dirt...
