Welcome!

Very cool truck! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.

@Alex From KZ What sort of alterations if any, did you have to do to fit the 37s? Looks good.

I have 2in body lift, and front fenders have been cut up and bent backwards, aprox 2in.

The rest is stock. But, I would not recommend going to 37s. I like how the car behaves in 35s better.

Thanks for the insight.

Having to cut up the truck would not be ideal. I'm on 35s right now, only ~5000 km, so I've got a long time to contemplate the idea.

We got plenty of these cars in our club, proven recipe is:
2-3in lift
35s
5.29 gears
Lockers
1KZ of 5vze swap is even better.

And this things are amazingly good offroad, due to relatively light weight, and good geometry, good approach/departure/brakeover angles.
