Thanks from a newbiew for everyone's input on tires and lift, OME 3 inch and BFG 33 x 10.5 at/ko tires.
Crappy picture phone picture..

FYI: Edwin at Land Cruiser Specialist in Austin did the work..great guy to deal with!

Looking good.

Clean looking, lift and tire size match great.

 

[Benji]

That looks very good. How about some pics of the components when you got a chance.
Awsome.

Love the sliders

 

[Doc]

mmmm beefy!

Actually it's pretty good quality for a camera phone.

 

[mmw68]

The sliders or nerf bars are from JT Outfitters (link to Nerfs) and Edwin just welded them on. Don't plan to do major rock crawling with the truck, so it was more for looks and to get into the damn thing! If your in Austin come to the next LSLC meeting.

Nice, but too tall for the tires. Get some 34 or 35's under there!

That looks great!
What lift kit did you go with?
Or maybe what I should ask is what springs did you use and how much longer are the shackles?
I am getting ready to do the same thing.
I already have the tires but wasn't sure how much to lift it.

Thanks
Bob

actually, i like the way it looks...even if he's not going to do much off road, it still looks like it can.

If that is a full OME kit then the front shackles appear to be longer than most OME front shackles by an inch or more. Rear OME shackles are about 3/4" longer than the fronts. Are those something other than OME? Otherwise, it looks good!

 

[mmw68]

@overhanger....Iam not sure about the shackles, When Edwin first received the parts, they screwed up and sent him the wrong parts, then he finally got the correct parts in, and who knows, maybe he used something he had around the garadge? What ever he did..Iam very happy. If I get a chance I'll ask him, and take some close up pictures.

Looks nice! It's the same color as mine so it's nice to see it lifted. can't wait until mine is!

How is the ride?

 

[mpetersrx7]

Looks good Mark (actually alot like mine). I will have to check out the Nerf bars at the next meeting. Now you need ARB front, roof rack, custom rear...

Are those stock wheels? Hard to tell from photo.

Thanks,
Mark

 

[mmw68]

@mpetersrx7..

The wheels are Eagle Alloys Series 187

 

[overhanger]

Mark, just measure from center to center on the shackle bolts to determine the shackle length. I think the stock OMEs are about 3-1/2" long on the front and about 1/4" longer in the rear. I'm going to take a wild guess and say your fronts are over 4".

 

[mmw68]

OK...when I get home tonight I'll take a mesurement. I also contacted Edwin to ask him specific details on what was finally used. -Mark
