Thanks, they weren't my first choice, but given the limited selection of wheels that fit the 100, I couldn't be too picky :). They have grown on me though, plus they are silver instead of chrome.

Just a thought, but a gunmetal/black powdercoat job might make them even more attractive, and with some 33" knobbies wrapped around them would make that rig look all that much better. Are those 18's?
 
No, they're 20s, with 275 55 tires, so at least I still have some useable sidewall for light off road use (but I don't think I'll be doing any rock crawling with them!)

Hmm, gunmetal is an interesting idea...

HERE IS MY RIG

Well....after risking damage, I am now convinced more than ever that a properly equipped and 3" lifted UZJ is 98% every bit the off-roader as a 3-inch 80-series. In fact, despite me just building the '97 Lexus...I might sell it.

Here's some shotts from a 4.0 obstacle in AZ. I know of only 2 FZJ80's that have done it. One was my '93. The 100 climbed the huge obstacle with total ease, just like the 80. If I hear one more non-100 owner say IFS, Rubicon Trail, or whatever they can eat xxxx. :)

I would not even try this without 35's, N74L-shocks, and triple locks.

Does the inside of your front tires rub your A arms? See the black mark on the passenger side tire on this photo.

4 out a 10. Funny. I was amazed Brian got me to even do it in the 100. You have no idea al the damage we've seen there on SUV's. It's was far harder than anything on Golden Spike, anything on Martinez Canyon, the Step on Charouleau Gap.

I am still really bothered since completing this obstacle. I want to sell the Lexus 450 and get a 100 I'll cut down and take these lines with all the time. I don't want to mangle my current 100. So, we're deciding right now. (Still send me my spring/packer order) Every time I try something extreme in the 100 I'm convinced more and more of it's closeness to the 80 in capability (at the same height). Plus...no more 80 bull****. Overheating, front axle rebuilds, gutless. I'm frustrated! :mad: Sure, a 6" 80 has some advantages over a 3" 80, though crud....a 3-incher can run almost anything...and I've learned that so can a 100 (if it fits...and I'll shorten the next one making things even easier and lighter).

Ah...ya....the inside of the tire rubs the upper A's at full lock. I can eliminate it 100% by further adjusting my turn-stops. I'm OK with where they're at though.
 
Here's 2 quickies....a Cherokee that ended up driving on his sidewalls and driver's body...spent 20 minutes trying...no go. A Bronco that wiped his other side. We thought he was rolling on every attempt. Try a 8.8 out of 10. ;)
