Build SAW`s 87 LJ73 thread

[saw]

And ending up changing the front bumper version 2.2 I think... Kind of liked the previous but think this version fits better rest og the cruiser.
Also what this thread started with, front bumper.

Truck is looking excellent! I like the new cup holders!

Thx, happy with the functionality too. During the winter I decided to make a new rear bumper. Picked up the basis from the front.

Good job on this 73. Where are you located, I think I recognized the church in Kongsberg?
Any updates?

Hi, love the truck, I am in process of buying one to add to my Toyota family of FJ40, 80 and recently departed HJ60. I looked around but couldn’t see what your tyre size is. Thanks.

Hi, thx.

What offset are your rims, or are you using any spacers? I have the same tire model, but in 31x10.5x15, ET0. OME springs, so nominal 2" lift.
Mine already touch the inner fender at full articulation; just barely, but still. On 33s must be worse, letting alone 35s.
Some bigger tires on mine would better fill the arch and look much nicer, but I need to maintain the articulation.
Cheers Ralf

Rims are ET-44 or 45 (if I remember correct) and a set of 30mm spacers on the rear axel (for the look only, rear axel is narrower), I`ve got 2" body lift and OME springs. No touching on mine so articulation is ok. No cutting in chassis either. Home made front bumper and mudflaps (moved the mudflaps an inch back) if I have had OE it would have rubbed.
