Thanks man! The wheels are Method MR704, I'm pretty sure it's a zero offset, which means they will stick out about 2" more than stock. The Tires are K02's @ LT275 /70 R18. I bought them all from Discount Tire and they hooked me up (slightly) with a discount. Getting home was an adventure as they were rubbing like hell. I had to pull off the mud flaps and bang back the flap mount a bit. Then watched some videos on how to bend back fender liners with a heat gun. No rubbing now!

Note that grill, I'm not 100% into it, I would rather get my stock grill painted or wrapped black except for the logo, but the shops I talked to don't want to paint on chrome (or chrome plastic whatever) or wrap a grill. So I've been trying to find other options.
The PO painted the chrome cruiser grill, and I wish I could tell you who he used, because I can’t find a way to get it OFF! Hahaha it’s painted really well.

Fuel boiling be gone. Started adding some insulation to the fuel system.

Look forward to hearing if that helps - had some severe fuel boiling on a recent mountain climb - first time I've experienced it and it was alarming! It took a good 20 minutes to calm down.

The climb was great though. Haven't posted in a while but this shot shows off the recent additions well - namely the home made Maxtrax holder on the side.

Given it's been a long time since I posted... she also has the following:

The roof rack is actually from a G-wagon, it fit the tent well, custom made brackets to mount it up.
Hutchinson Beadlock wheels with 3D printed centre caps to fit the OEM 2017 Toyota wheel cap.
Safari Snorkel de-badged and painted body colour.
Prototype Flares and hood vents
LED bar in the grill
Front Winch Cradle with recovery hooks
Rear Recovery hooks.
King 2.5 Reservoir shocks with custom tuned valving.
700 lb front springs
H&R Heavy Duty rear swaybar.

A lot more planned in my head but we're not there yet. :)

Got a Ram mount plate two days ago for free (friend got the suction cup to mount my iPad mount because he makes the escort vehicle at a bicycle race. So he didn’t had any need) so I decided to 3D print a cup holder for my 20oz Yeti mug.

I can’t even look past the manual gearbox! Wish the US got all the Land Cruiser specs. I was really hoping the 300 would be making it here with the return of the LC, but looks like we need to settle for the Prado for now!
