Looks awesome. Your description of your love of 80's is similar to mine. Its handy when your childhood dream car is actually obtainable. I have heavy dobinson's coils on mine and dealt with the stinkbug look until I put a rear bumper with spare tire and a drawer system in mine. No more stinkbug.
 
You got that right, thank goodness I didn't fall in love with a Lamborghini or Ferrari lol. That's awesome. It gives me hope that my heavy rear bumper plus a 35 MT will level mine out.
 
It was at my daughter's school during the morning drop-offs. I pulled up behind this beautiful Forest Green Land Cruiser (probably a 1994) and just fell in love with the curves, the roof rack, the classy look, just the whole thing. I didn't really know much about cars back then, but I knew I wanted one. Now, I have a 1994 Land Cruiser, which I had seen a year before when I was looking for a 2nd vehicle. About a year later, I bought the same car from the same used car dealer. I wanted a 1995 or later, but the sales guy told me to get it since the previous owners really took care of it. He was right. Such a great vehicle. It's my daily driver and family snowboarding trips to Tahoe. I want to restore it back to when it was new, with new seats, LX470 wood door inserts, speakers, stereo hidden in the glove compartment, really keeping the original look with a few upgrades. And will never sell it.

That's what's it's all about, how these vehicles pulled us in. I know when I saw that Land Cruiser drive by when I was 8, I had no idea how badass it was, but I knew I had to have it when I got older! Congrats on yours!
 
why do you feel the need to change the wheels ?

the OEM wheels are the ones that look best on the truck, so just get the tires that fit - we just recently got Procomps from 4 Wheel Parts for the '93 ('72 and '97 soon to follow to keep them all interchangeable), and they look fine - but much more importantly, they wheel good :steer:

Honestly I don't know. I do like the OEM ones, but I've had them for so long. I think I just want something new. I'll stick with them until I find exactly what I'm looking for.
 
if you want something new, get sliders :idea:

I ended up getting the Black Rock Yuma Series 908b wheels (link here Black Rock 908B786045: Yuma Series 908B Wheel Size: 17" x 8" | JEGS). The specs are identical to OEM, but are slightly larger at 17 inches, which find helps make up for and looks better with the larger sized tires. They are 0 offset (not negative as you mentioned).

Nice looking rig. Develop a build plan so your mods are thought out in advance. Then drive it and keep driving it. Modify as able.

Thanks. I've been driving it stock for 5 years, I was finally able to make a mod list this summer. So far so good.

That's a nice looking wheel, but I'm looking to stay at 16. I already bought my tires brand new last week so I cant go up in size anyway. But thanks for the tip 🤙

You may be onto something there 🤔. Lol I've spent a ton this year on the truck. Sliders will come in the springtime.
