Sorry for all the excitement looks like it's an old joe Bacal truck. Did little more research
 
I thought I read on their facebook page that those are 37's on there!
 
Might those be the new bfg tako2's?
 
Yes they are 37s.

It was an LX570, but has a facelift back to a 200 series.

Those are not the new BFG TK02s. They are BFG off road race tires. IIRC, not street legal.

and .....

She is an absolute kick in the pants to drive. :)

Here is a video of a pass during the Vegas to Reno. We had followed this dudes team mate (VORE) for miles and miles and he would not move. When we caught up to this truck, we were entering Pit 1, which is a no pass zone. The video start just as we are towards the end of the pit. The Co-driver is repeating speeds to try and keep us from getting a speeding ticket.

From there... rubbin is racing :)

 
Dam....that looks like a kick in the pants. Thx for sharing the video, she floats over that terrain and sounds great when getting on the gas
 
"He's gotta feel that!" - great video and driving
 
The tires are the new Baja KR2's in 37" flavor :cool:

Some more pics to whet the appetite:

And Marc is 100% correct, it is a blast to drive :D
 
37?!?!?!

Whoa!
 
Looks like they have Kings on there--probably triple or quadruple bypass. Amazing how well the suspension is tuned; the driver and passenger's heads are barely bobbing.

I would REALLY like to know all the work they did on the rear to fit 37's. I am assuming the rear shocks go up into the rear cabin. If not, I REALLY want to know what they did.
 
Bummer!

I was hoping they weren't! I had 37's on the mind...
 
I figured. The wells didn't look like they were too molested. A body lift on an FJ40 is hard enough; I can only imagine how much of a pain it would be on a 200. But maybe not...The only thing I can think would really be needed to be addressed would be steering linkage.
