showing the float between a skinny tire mounting capability and a fat tire location.
the customer can mount a 8" wide tire or a 14" wide tire tightly against the swingout.

the tire support is also adjustable for sizes from 34" tall to 37.5" tall.
the tire support in its max height clears by 3/8" the tire swingout.

With all that metal this will be one of the comfiest riding leaf sprung 75s around

Super light chicks and heavy trucks. Nice combo....

Nice build crushers, in post #192 where the cut out for a rear bumper light is shown, are you going to install a stop/turn/brake light assembly? If you are, do you know yet what you will be using? Is there something already on the market, or will you be making something up yourself?

Capital, (and visitors) thanks for the compliments, greatly appreciated.

LJs aren't cruisers. They are just another vehicle.
Get off the LJ thing you have seen the light and now have a BJ.

I think my LJ would run rings around any of your vehicles and my BJ75 would also and I consider my LJ a cruiser - what makes you think its not?

PS LJ's are soaring in value here to over $20KUSD for a nice one now from $6KUSD 12 months ago.

By the way crushers GREAT build - but way too heavy for our jungle environment by awesome for a cross asia tour.

20k for a LJ?! I'd hate to know what an HZJ goes for then

I wouldn't doubt one moment that an LJ could do laps around my 77. It was mainly bashing the playdo engine....
I don't wheel like you!

i have wheeled LJ78s in the past and they are extremely capable and would be a tough bugger to beat off road.
but just for fun i would be willing to put this one up against an LJ:
