Builds CCinSD Land Cruiser - light off-road trail use (1 Viewer)

[CCinSD]

Finally got around getting the front spring oem spacers installed! Found a local shop that specializes in Toyota. Spoke with the owner and shop foreman to get a feel if they knew their way around the KDSS and all. Found out they’re both cruiser owners and and know about opening the KDSS valve no more than 2.5-3 turns. Informed me about the spacers possible affecting the radar and Toyota releasing internal document about it. Anyways, I felt like I was at the right place and got it installed. They charged me 2 hours labor and got an alignment down the street. Overall happy with the outcome. Gained about an inch front ground clearance and leveled out a bit. If I run into issues with radar, I’ll try to level/calibrate the sensor.

Spent some time in the Tundras classifieds to get a set of 4. Got the 5th from another mud member. Still debating if I should get some spacers just to widen up the stance a bit.

Looks like a solid build! We just picked up a LC and are located in North County. Have you found any good places to head off road?

Welcome aboard ! There are many National Forest trails that will get you and your LC connected and there is the desert as well. A local TLCA chapter exists ( Beach N Toys) and meets the first Tuesday of the month at Mikes BBQ in Escondido. They have a posting on Mudd in the Clubhouse section too.

Have any shots directly on or from behind of your rig. Curious how the 275s look.

Congratulations! I enjoy going to Anza Borrego, plenty of things to do and see out there.

Not at the moment. 275's do look a little skinny to me. Next set would probably 285/65's if I keep the stock wheels. Only downside is, the selection and price.

Pretty simple to do, if you can change a tire you can install the spacers IMHO

Make sure you re-torque them after a few miles.

They never got installed. They got ruined by a powder coater...lets just say I'm still waiting for the courts to open back up.
