Didn't you put your LX for sale? I saw it in the classifieds here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/uzj100-lx470/709806-2000-lx470-35s-super-clean.html

Keep it and do 37's. Everybody wants to see it. Be the first to start a new trend!
I vote for 37's on the CLK.....
Public Service Notice... your build thread pics are all geotagged, you might wanna change 'em...
Im excited to see them! Dont worry man havn't forgot about you just still at work I will get you those measurements as soon as I am home...Ill tell you this I beat the s*** out of my pinch welds with a sledge and had to trim my front bumper at the bottom to not rub and I went through a small whoops section and my 35s hit my top fender on the right side causing a little crease and some chipped paint but nothin a band-aid couldnt fix, it adds character I think! But that then made me realize I needed to crank my torsion bars more...
What are you planning on doing gear wise? staying stock? With my 35s my next purchase is already going to be 4.88s before any armor goes on. I promised myself I would do the right mods in order this time before s*** breaks and breaks the bank. I learned quick on my 4runner after my diffs blew even though i did have 209k on the clock at that point.
On the LX I had to run 1.5" spacers on the front as well. They werent needed on the back but I did 1" spacers anyways.
Ill shoot you a pm when I get home with those hub to fender measurements I promise I wont forget! Until then...Party on!

LOL, may that be a lesson to all. Better blur them license plates too, and never, ever give out your Ham call sign. "
"OP, you may consider discussing with Slee what he did to his SAS trucks (besides SASing them) for fitment of 35-39s.

ok I understand the geo tag but why blur the license plate???
I think I read Podvin's thread on that pick-up style 100 a while back, and if I'm not mistaken, I believe he had a 3" body lift with those tires. I honestly don't think a 1" will be enough, however I would love to see an LX on 37's with AHC, that'd be quite a feat. As a fellow college age'd kid, go for it!
Blurring your plates is like blurring your age. Who gives a s***?
It's pretty much public knowledge anyway...
I am more worried about who I pass on the highway than who I pass by on here.
I'm like 16% sure he was joking. 65% of the time, he jokes all the time.
I have coated my plates in Plastidip for an extra level of protection....and I say do a 7in body lift with 39s....37s are boring already.

1" body lift.
Slot the rad holes, and you can get some out of the shroud mounts.
10mm front bump spacer, hammer the fender seam, max front castor for the lift, longer shocks for droop, at least 1.5" in the front, and a diff drop 25mm.
25mm front wheel spacers.
50mm rear bump spacer, and neatly mash hammer the offending areas.
17 x 8.5" rims with 48 pos offset.
37 x 12.5/17 tyres.
Shocks rear go about 740mm extended, comp length will work for the 50mm bump spacer, and you will run 37'S, more travel, the odd touch, and life will be good

Updates? I wanna see some 37"s
This truck was up for sale a few times...not sure he ever did the 37's.
That's so disappointing...
That's not very nice......let the guy do what he wants. 37's are the new 33's these days. And there are trails you need 37's on.
Besides, the average age of a 100 owner is............OLD.
And trails where you need 37's 100's will never go or should never be taken on unless you want to simply destroy the thing. Oh, and prepare for worn out steering racks every 15,000 miles (wheeling or not).
