Rig looks great, @smookinz . Seems like your spare is riding extremely low. I’d be whacking it on ledges. Can it raise at all on your swingout?

Your right but not possible bro
My cruiser is made from Toyota this way , it's middle Eastern version for our region I guess , the spare tire brackets OEM all the way


! I have small issue !the whole rear of the SUV is sitting low because of the add BFG weight , what do you suggest that I do to fix it ??

@VooDoo2 Ever experience (firsthand or secondhand) any drivetrain or frame damage due to the weight of the heavier builds?

Zero issues at all. The dual cab builds are fully plated and most of the chassis is custom

That white one. Wow.

Someone put in some serious wrench time.

View attachment 1881143 View attachment 1881144 Hey .. sharing my wheels and tires setup

Rock worrier wheels + BFG ko2's in 265/70/17

Small note!! All terrain Tires are way heavier than stock manufacturer tires

Those wheels look great in black. Are the valve stem protector rings brushed?

Any reason why you went with LT265/70R17 tires instead of the Toyota-recommended LT285/70R17 tires?

Yes the wheels rings r brushed and I noticed they r shinny when u just clean them

Tire wise , I wanted the aggressive look and side wall of BFG ko2's but went with smaller size to keep the cruiser drivable on daily basis , those tires are twice the weight Of the originals .. too much stress on drivetrain

You aren’t in danger of stressing your drivetrain with that slightly larger tire. Would take a lot more than that. But you will enjoy closer to stock power (ratios) at the wheels and better MPG staying small.

I really like that brushed look.

Just FYI, Toyota recommends the LT285/70R17 tires for use on the 17" TRD wheels on the Land Cruiser: https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/installation/40362D86F9D917D98825767800785BB2_Tundra_Sequoia_Land Cruiser TRD Alloy Wheel PTR45-34070-34120 IssF.pdf

Obviously, the tire size you chose will work, but there is no reason to be concerned about stress on the drivetrain with the recommended size tires.

HTH

What I have right now on the cruiser r 31.7inch in diameter , the 285's r almost 32.8 it will rub for sure "stock hight"

because TRD wheels are designed for TRD modified cruisers I think


Btw , Nitto ridge grappler will be my next tires to try

That's not correct. Toyota recommends the LT285/70R17 tires in combination with the TRD wheels on the STOCK LC200 - no rubbing whatsoever under ANY conditions. I've been running that combination for over six years (see my sig).

When I purchased my 2013 LC200 in 2012, the 17" TRD Rock Warrior wheels with the LT285/70R17 tires were a dealer option - it was even shown in the Land Cruiser brochure for the 2013's.

That's amazing very excited to see your car , can you post some photos here if you don't mind??

33.9 would be a 285/75/r17. He is talking about a 285/70r17. Less than 33" diameter in real life, depending on brand.

Well... your math is wrong - LT285/70R17 tires spec out at about 32.8" in diameter.

I'm so......... glad you are so amazed and excited.

Let's start with a seasonal pic:

A pic of the LT285/70R17 spare:

The KO's on the 17" TRD Rock Warrior wheels:

Not a fan of the way she attracts the dust in the back:

How about some poser shots?

Had enough?

My 285/70/17 KO2s on RW wheels measured just a hair over 32” on the truck (side-to-side diameter, so not measuring less due to squat).
