They are not. People have reported good snow performance.
I was also considering the Toyo Open Country III which is triple peak/snow rated. They come in 34x10.5r17 and 35x11.5r17. Unfortunately they only have 31s in a 15” size
What did you do with your 60 this weekend? (5 Viewers)

I put a set of procar elite seats in my 60 nine years ago and they have held up great. They are way more comfortable than the worn out stock seats they replaced. Only thing I can say is that its probably worth spending an extra few bucks on the version with adjustable lumbar if you plan to do multi-day roadtrips with it. (I was a broke college student when I got them and couldn't imagine it making a difference back then
)
4 new shocks and Boss Airbags in the rear to help when loaded down with gear. This thing drives like a big sports car now!
Fabbed some engine bay lights out of Amazon parts and got them installed. I have more planned for the upper hatch to illuminate the tailgate camp kitchen.
Y’all think the heat from the radiator will melt the plastic lenses?

Nah they’ll be okay. I’ve had a light under there for years.
That’s good! I just went for it and didn’t think about the heat issue at all. I’ve seen plenty of other people running this kind of thing so I didn’t even stop to give it any thought.

Had these stripes custom made last summer and applied them last weekend. This weekend I joined quite a few friends at the Lonstar Roundup in central TX. Was an awesome time

The old slow girl is 2000 miles into a work trip. I’m on site in FL so I stopped by Cruisermatts for a meet. I ended up adjusting my back brakes (really I watched), he welded up the crack in my arb bumper, and then I cleaned a bunch of bolts and gasket surfaces while he built and swapped diffs in his friends 80.
Good times and it’s awesome to have a great support network of friends all over. I appreciate y’all.
I hit 345,000 miles today. And likely 347,000 by the time I make it home (eventually).

This would look great on my truck!
I added a pressure blowoff port to my front tire in Death Valley.
Did some overlanding with a good friend along the SCAR. North West Section.

Had a great time at the annual LSLC Roundup…
@cruiserinsanity and I did a rear axle swap on the '85 today. The diff currently under it has slop in the pinion bearing and the parking brake is frozen. The extra rear axle is one that I had been running under my '86 FJ60 until I did the 80 series FF axle. The diff is good, and 4.11 like the '85 has but the brakes will need to be rebuilt. One drum was full of rust and put up a good fight before coming. Rear bearings and axle seals had been replaced in the year prior to the axle being pulled from the '86 so those are good. It was a full day swapping over the axles.
Next up will be pulling the 3FE for a refreshed head, fix the oil leaks, add in a H55F and rebuilt t-case.

Can u document pulling the 3fe and fixing all the leaks? Would love to see that as maybe something I could do.
Yeah, did the 3FE swap about 25 years ago.
I’m doing tonnes of wiring right now, it seems almost impossible to swap in a 3FE. I could only imagine.
