My '92 Landcruiser: Safariwagon-II

No, I will be doing the rear today.

I give you credit lifting the truck in the cold, yet alone the snow. Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. Nice job.

Thank you, everyone thought I was crazy haha.

The Result. B.A.D.A.S.S!

33" of rubber, no big blades for this SUV!

The deepest creep you will ever meet!

You say that now!
Looking good man, you got a garage you just need to free up the space.

 

[TheLoyale]

Haha yeah, I don't think it'll fit in there now (Unless I air down the tires) I know I wouldn't be able to jack it up in there Lol!

What a great transformation! Well done!

Love the narrow rubber.

At least you were smart enough to do the work outside. When I first joined I read a thread where a guy did his lift and tires in his garage and found out he couldn't fit out the garage door.

Well, I figured out why the truck leans a little to the left. I first thought it was a weak spring. Now the more I look at it, I think the front left spring perch is bent a little upwards. Looks like it has a little extra weld on it, and it doesn't look as level as the other side.

Also, I have an idea this truck was hit on the front left corner as the metal behind the fender is crinkled.

Anyone have any idea how hard it is to bend the spring perch? Kinda sucks my truck doesn't sit straight....

Nice ride. Kudos for doing this in the cold...... brrrr.

Looks great. Doing the lift in the snow is hardcore.

Great looking truck, I have a red '92 too and love it. Glad to see another sharp looking red FJ80 in the region.

Sweet Cruiser, whats with the Lezzbaru?

 

[chukardog]

Ahhh Wisconsin!! Got it....

 

[chukardog]

impressed, doing your lift in the snow solo. Nice work.

I know how a lot of the guys on here are looking for the Chrome hood emblem that the HDJ80 had.

Well, I found them on ebay for $63 shipped.

I bought these, as I want a lug that isn't so common so no one tries to take my wheels.

Yes, I am running the stock X-style Alloys. So these lugs should work just fine, right?

These are a false sense of security more than anything. A waste of $28 in my opinion. Any universal gator grip type socket can take these off in no time, certainly wouldn't be any more difficult than the stock lug. I'd be impressed if any thieves want to try and steal 320lbs of worth of wheels and tires.

 

[TheLoyale]

I really only bought these to replace the stock lugs anyhow, as the original ones look like crap and I broke the welded cap off one. Time for new.

I hate to say it but he is right. I took my truck in to get the tires rotated and the PO had these fancy lugnuts with a design cut into them so that you have the have the "key" to remove them. Well I handed the guy the "key adaptor", he dropped it in his pocket and I watched as he pulled all the lugnuts off, rotated, and re-torqued everything without every using the special key. I wasn't close enough to see what he used, but I inspected the lugnus when he was done and it didn't mar any of them.

Thinking of getting spacers for the front, what brand do most of you guys run, and how thick? I just need to level out the front, as it has a little bit of a rake to it.

Was looking at Slee 25mm spacers...?

 

[julstirn]

i have the 30mm spacer and its fine
