He is running Tundra rotors...at least from the description in his post, so 15" fj40 rims might not clear if he's also got the Tundra calipers.

 

[MANUCHAO]

BUMMER..!!!
That would mean custom fj40 rims then......

 

[LegShot]

wish you were closer to OR!

They can clear, the problem is getting them to clear without them sticking WAY out in the rear.

The whole wheel drama blows my mind. Once you buy good wheels, they are essentially fashion accessories and not everyone likes the same things - earth shattering stuff, here. Buy it for $30k and change 'em. If my bank account was bottomless, I would run hutchinson rock monsters, but it is not...

 

[torfab]

Cruisermatt, these tires don't stick out beyond the fenders AT ALL - not sure what you're referencing.

 

[dshock]

Tor,

Good to hear from you! - Pretty sure Cruisermatt was trying to educate everyone that if I ran 40 series steelies then they would stick way out due to the axle modifications. This truck needs 4.5" of offset to keep the tires in the wheel wells.

Thanks,
Dan

Aaahhh, my bad for not reading page 2 of the forum

 

[Cruiserdrew]

Wow-that is nice.

The smog drama here is the downside, and $30k, while a fair price (IMHO) is too much to risk on the CARB non-sense in this state.

A super cool truck though. Ignore the haters.

 

[OGBeno]

Agreed.

I don't care what any tire kicker thinks.

If you have the cash, fly out, look it over and then post up.

Otherwise you are prognosticating and sometimes it is best to not speak of things if you have not done the least of the "genchi genbutsu" necessary to "know what the call is."

 

[MANUCHAO]

No hater here...
This is clearly a beautiful rig..
Worth the price.
Only thing for me as Cruiserdrew points out is the uncertainty of KA smog laws...
Other than that... I'd seriously consider buying it.. It would look sweet next to Manu...!!
The rims are not my taste, but if you are considering buying this rig...rims should be a non-issue.
I still think 40 rims with custom made back spacing would be the cherry on top for this rig.
From the pics, I don't see the rims sticking out for them to be an issue... I know cause I too run the 80 series axles w/same back spacing....

Like I said on my initial post...
Somebody is going to get a helluva rig..!!
Good luck with the sale..

 

[torfab]

Maybe FJ Cruiser steelies? That might have the right backspacing. I personally like the look of the newer wheels with the classic cruiser, but here's an idea:

Fjcruiser steelies w/ 37's

Beautiful truck. PM sent.

 

[dshock]

I am planning to throw it on eBay in the next few weeks. If it doesn't sell, I am going to cancel the AEV Prospector build for my Ram and keep the cruiser. No point in having both, they are just too similar.

 

[24HOURSOFNEVADA]

IMO this is one of those vehicles that you take anywhere and everywhere. From the ballet to Baja, classic styling with a great engine. Seems like a bargain when you compare it to anything new on the market.

 

[dshock]

Still for sale guys! I did a little work this weekend replacing bearings and seals on the rear swing aways. It is ready for the next owner.

Hoping to sell it on mud this week or it goes to the wolves on eBay!

Thanks,
Dan

 

[mig79]

Wish it was closer

 

[dshock]

mig79 - drive it home and start ownership with an EPIC roadtrip!

 

[Cruiserdrew]

Anyone know about licensing this in California?

Really love the truck.
