No I bought those a long time ago to put in my Jeep but in the meantime got some 37" tires for the jeep so I got the 80 series wheels from Jordan so I could use these LTBs on the 60
What mod did you add to your Toyota this weekend?

I do what I wantyou filled you rear 3rd member with non-ethanol fuel?!
I had a set of those on my 80 that he wound up with. I was just curious if they were my old set. I may have a 5th if I can find it and you are interested.
Yes I am. I need a spare that is closer to the same size
Are they 34x10.50? They look close to that.
No, mine are 35x12.5/16

Yours wound up in Hot Springs. Some kid got them.
I hope he enjoys them. Purpose built tire for sure. They weren't too bad except when it was cold and then they shook you for the first few miles.

I ordered a 12 pack of 9w LED's on Amazon and used 2 to put underneath the driver and passenger side dash to shed some light on the floorboards. I also installed new 6.5" Polk db Series speakers into the front doors, which sound much better than 25yr old OEM units.
I used the other 10 to mount as rock lights. I've looked into the Vision X kit, but didn't want to spend the coin for something I'm not sure I'll ever use that much. I got the 12pack of LED's and hook mounts for ~$23. I went to walmart and found some cheap S hooks for $1.97 for a pack of 4. Beats the $50 wanted for some rock light mounts that are out there.
Also, I installed Crawlorado's 3M Hood Blackout this afternoon. My stock hood was fading and just didn't look good in general. I also think it will help the glare from my light bar as well. I think it turned out pretty well....don't pay attention to the dents and dings in the hood

Anybody have a torch? I got a good deal on a Relentless plate bumper I need to cut the hoops off so I can grind and repaint.

I don't have a torch, but I have a 4.5" grinder and a sawsall that would probably take care of it.
Thanks Josh, you're right, the tubes should be fairly thin walled. I'll try my sawzall first and see how that works. I'll probably have to get a pack of new blades first LOL
I have been shopping safari/roof/baja racks for my FJ80. I'd like for it to carry some jerry cans, an extra spare tire, and other what not you would take along on an off road camping trip that Josh planned. There are some pretty good ones on amazon in the $100 range that I dont think will fit the tire, but everything else.
I am also kicking around the idea of building one myself out of aluminum pipe or something, maybe even PVC. Anyone ever seen this done well? I have seen some interesting attempts online.

garvin makes some nice racks...a little pricy, but you pay for what you get...the problem with roof racks and off-roading is gravity...speaking from first hand knowledge...more stuff on the roof, the worse the truck does on the trails...been there, done that with my 60- felt like it was gonna tip over all the time...unless the apocalypse happens, the 80 won't ever have a roof rack on it...

Cole- rig is looking sweet...nice job brotha
Never thought about a rack affecting the "top heaviness" of the vehicle that bad. I am worried that if I am out on this excursion I will A. run out of gas or B. pop two tires and be stuck in the middle of nowhere with just my boys. Those are far reaching scenarios, I know, but I still want to be prepared for trips like these.

Thanks Eli!
I've been looking into RTT's a lot lately and really like the idea of them and think I would get a lot of use out of it. My question is, what is the best way to mount it to the roof? I really don't want to spend $800+ on a roof rack and have been thinking about getting some Yakima/Thule cross bars. Has anyone used these and if so would you recommend 2 or 3 crossbars?
What is a RTT? In my research, it looks like the mount depends on the size of the rack. Personally, I would like a rack that runs the full length of the roof. Reasons, I do not have a sun roof, eventually I'd like to mount a light bar on the front, and I just like the look of a full rack. In that instance, the gutter mounts seem to be the best solution. If you just want a rack in the back, you can still use the gutter mounts, the bars, or I have even seen them mount directly to the factory luggage rack.
