It turned out lovely with the 255/86-16s and new OEM Steelies.

The 300# of old tires and wheels in the back made it ride as smooth as an 80 with the parabolics. If I owned one of these I would be figuring out a way to add permanent weight.

I like the 255/85/16 size. I have this on the Ute and 235/85/16 on the troopy. I always liked the 235/85/16 size but now with both sizes side by side I don’t like the 235/85/16 anymore 🤣🙄

See this @navydivedoc ?

Bolt in some 50 cal ammo cans filled with lead shot behind the fenders in the bed?
 
long range gas tanks?
 
I don’t care. I like watching Ward be silly.
Well, you asked for it... I went looking for some intel on 1FZ tuning and performance mods but most content (MUD and FB) is pretty specific to engines (1FZF, 1FZ-FE US/OBD-I and OBD-II, 1FZ-FE coil pack, etc.), a particular topic (turbo, supercharger, etc.) or vehicle series (70, 80, 100, 105). Not to crap up another great MUD thread, but I did a thing on Facebook regarding 1FZ tuning and performance mods - covering all 1FZ variants and vehicle series.

Something like this?
Go Fast Camper with wedge tent.
Approx 400 lbs without gear.

AI. Quit playing and order
Not AI, Powerpoint. I am old school.
More list than funds, waiting for Social Security and some aluminum sales to fund the camper.
Also GFC does not have the 79 camper in production yet. A one-off so far.
 
With the truck attached? 😃

In any case, your camper is wicked cool!
I have a low mile one ready to ship. Have your own in 3 months 💪💪
 
79 lurker here - does this mean you've got one on the water looking for a home, or the 2nd Saudi one you brought back needs a home? My 200 might enjoy having a little brother for 'round town hauling "stuff".


These are the ones we have in hand. Many more available but we only post ones available right now in this area
