20's come stock on Tundras, so you'll need much bigger than that to turn heads. I'd imagine with 26's you could still get a bit of sidewall in there.
Check on this one...

Look at the LA area Craigslist. Lots of clean ones. If you find one local to me in Orange County I will go mudfax it for you.
A slammed 100 would be tight! Even kewler if it was fully armored/snorkeled/et al.
Here is a good one of us on our way to AK.
I added a Cascadia rooftop tent for easier AK travels.

Rear shot of the RTT
Here is the whole setup camping at a RV park in Seward, AK
RTT closed, taken out at Knik glacier in AK. I had the smallest rig out there that day.
Another shot in AK, just south of Anchorage. Tossed on some 18" Tundra rims with studded tires for the winter last month. Sold those, hated how they looked on the truck.
So I bought Nick's 100 series last fall. Since I have had it, I hooked all the lights and compressor back up (they were all unhooked when I got it), added a Pioneer dvd/nav, CB, 5 channel amp, remote start, brake controller, new compressor switch, new rear lights, rooftop tent, and am currently putting in a new transmission. Up to 205k and she runs great. I had to un-tint the front windows when I got to AK, and I replaced the fan belt when it snapped in downtown anchorage. So far I have only taken her wheeling 3 times in AK, but I get out whenever I have the chance.
I know that truck very well. Nick and I saw some interesting things in that 100. Glad to see it has a happy home now... and in my home state! Damn I want to move back there!
So, I noticed my pictures aren't working. Here is the direct Imgur link: 100 Land Cruiser
Just put some brand new 315/75r16 KO2's on her, surprisingly they rub a tad even though the K0's didn't. Also upgraded the rear lights a bit and I have some Labrak ARB inserts to go into the front bumper when it warms up. Nick, I'll still sell her back to you so I can build my 200!

A little over 8 and a half years ago I sold my beloved 100 Series. How many things have changed in life, but the "want" for a Land Cruiser has remained. One of the things that I could never find in other car communities, was the friendship and how special these trucks are.
I was lucky to spot a 2006 on MUD, a few weeks back in Colorado and went for it. I knew the paint was shot, and with 290K on the ODO, I figured I have done stupider s*** before. It's not like flying halfway across the country to meet some dude from the internet to buy a truck and drive it back through the most barren part of the United States has never gone wrong...

The entire clear coat has failed. I believe this truck was a victim of an overly aggressive paint correction, and removed too much clear coat and the could no longer protect from UV. This will need to be fixed, and looking at my options for next year (2024)

Here is the current state of the 100, along with the drawer that was carpeted.
The EvoCorse wheels are beautiful. I cleaned them up after work today, and was blown away by the color. I plan on coating them soon, just need to get the barrels cleaned up this weekend once I have time to actually do an exterior wash on it.
More to come, in good time
