1999 HZJ75 Firetruck

[WarDamnEagle]

Looks like a fun project. You will get lots of differing opinions on this particular subject but I wouldn't waste my time or money on the selectable front hubs. Never see them in the middle east on anything. I don't plan on converting my FZJ75 pickup or my 45 Troopy. They drive/steer just like my FJ55 which does have locking hubs.

I'm a little surprised it doesn't have 16" rims (or are you just wanting to go to 15" rims?).

I got 15 inch rims they seem to be sold with both 15inch and 16 inch wheels. Idk, I’ll swap em out if I don’t like it. Yeah, I think the locking hubs are last on my to do list might not end up doing it until I’m really convinced.

Awesome truck!

Loads to learn and I hope you have fun along the way. This forum is great for information, helpful folks and great vendors. If you don't already know the in forum search function is mediocre, I find 100x the info when I search through a web search, IE google: ih8mud.com *search topic*

Cruise On

That’s a cool trick, I remember learning that when I took a power search with Google course in college.
