Looks nice!Just added 285/70 Ridge Grapplers and 1" Bora spacers (effective offset +25).
Nice work, with 20,000 lbs of cargo left that means you towed about 35,000 lbs! Candidate for those old tundra commercials from a decade ago where it pulled the space shuttle though the City.I put her to the test.. saw a broken down semi on the road near my house. Grabbed the 200 and pulled him about 1/4 to a safe spot so he wasn't in the road. Said he had about 20k load left since he dropped half it off.
4lo 1st gear and RPM at 1400 and she just walked the semi up. Slight incline too, enough to pull me back when he let off the brakes.

What size Toyos are those?Finally got around to piecing together a hoist to lift the rooftop tent off the LC. Took way longer with more trips to the hardware store and swearing that it should have but it'll doView attachment 2484081
for 1st gen design.
That was my thought lmao! Toyota pulled a space shuttle with the Tundra so what's a semi.Nice work, with 20,000 lbs of cargo left that means you towed about 35,000 lbs! Candidate for those old tundra commercials from a decade ago where it pulled the space shuttle though the City.
What did you use for the recovery points and gear?

Is that the Premium or Standard Ironman bumper?Been lurking for awhile here as I researched and eventually purchased my first Land Cruiser, a 2011.

And here's a pic after a bunch of modifications over the past two weeks. Running OME 2703s up front, with an Ironman bumper, Smittybuilt X2O 12k winch, and Budbuilt rock sliders. Tires are Nitto Terra Grapplers, which have served me really well on previous vehicles. I love how this build is coming along so far—Dobinson drawers should arrive on Friday, along with OME 2723s for the rear. GROM Vline will be here in a few weeks. Eventually planning to add an ARB bumper and an as-yet-undecided roof rack; those upgrades will probably happen around March. Until then I couldn't be happier with this setup.

Looks great!
That Ironman bumper looks sharp. Are you saying you'll be replacing it with an ARB? As someone looking into bumpers myself, I'm curious as to your thoughts between the two.Been lurking for awhile here as I researched and eventually purchased my first Land Cruiser, a 2011.

That's the standard - the premium bar makes a slight turn-in where it attaches to the bumper
