Bullbars not bad for a factory job either.
They are the factory wheels ,right?

sure are good looking rim i think ,pitty there only 7" wide and not 8"
and they scratch pretty easy,its like a paper thin aluminium coating ,more suited to Prados
They do look nice if you want the factory bling
Im running 7inch ROH rims because I decided to stick with the 235x85x16 B/stone LT D694,perfect sand tyre
.They were also the tallest in the 235 range at 32 inch.I did the 9 mile Swamp Rd today through the Moore River National park,22klms in the sand and never needed airing down or even felt like spinning.
The rain helped a bit

im always hearing older blokes that swear by the skinnys ,when my mate bought his 79 the other week with std skinny on it the places and boggy sandytracks that thing was going with hard tyres in 2wd was unreal if i was about 50 years older i would proberly run the skinnys
but as for a best fat sand tyre the best ive seen and think are the bfg A/T by far ,.hows the swamp road i have a few mates in woodrigde but have not been on this track might have to check it out next weekend if i can find it
Okay you are making us Canadians jealous.
How about convincing Toyota to market these in Canada.
Im talking about the Utes as well as the canopies

I also have a set of BFG 33X10.5X15 and they are about the same as what I have in terms of sand traction.
Its because when you deflate the tyre ,it gets longer,not wider.
I also wanted to cut down on the rolling resistance to save fuel. Not all skinnys are good in sand,the other set I have a more road biased and need a lot of deflation to make them work.
Nine Mile Swamp rd is not really a road ,its a sand track that starts at Moore River at its northern end and comes out near the Brand Hwy at its southern end
There is a swamp in the middle that has overflowed onto the track in a couple of places and is about knee deep.
I think it was a proper road once that was probably used to access some of the farms in the area in the old days.
Bits and pieces have a limestone road base ,mainly in the swampy area.
You go almost to the Moore River via Cowalla rd and turn right at Orange Springs rd and go 2 klms and turn right into Nine mile swamp rd.(Look for a Moore River National Park sign)
Check it out on Google Earth.
Its an easy drive now but would be harder in summer when the sand is loose.
Some giant roos and emus in there.
Would be great fun on a night run
Careful if you take the dog,its baited for foxes and feral cats with 1080 baits.
Well,they are already selling LHD versions there to the mining companies through ENS. I guess you now have to convince the govt you want to drive them on the road as well
I guess I will have to stake a claim so I qualify for one.
what is wrong with the lightforce? i rate them well above hella. Have had my origanal set for 6years and they still unreal never even replaced a globe yet. Have got the big HIDs now and love em. cant say same for hella just my experaince though

I came across a mint HZJ78 a while back for $18k with under 30000klms in a consignment yard. It had been stolen and written off.
Cops had found it 2 years later inside a sea container. It got sold on the phone while I was was counting up my pennies.
