Here's some "light" wheeling from last summer. Pretty easy trail at this spot - it got more difficult further ahead - but there was a drainage cut that stuffed my front tire.

I actually like that ugly ass color a lot. Lol Maybe it’s just me but ugly on a land cruiser is right.
Ooof…
Thank a PO long ago for the s***ty single stage respray. That’s why I call it the tomato truck. Hey the door sills are still Freeborn Red!
Rusty trucks can go anywhere!
Now this is why alloy wheels suck. Steel for the win

That wheel is actually an old school Jackman that I bought for my 40 back in the ‘70’s. Time to retire those old 15 inch wheels tho. More tire choices in 16-17. Unfortunately my BFG’s have got a lot of tread life left. But…when I do get larger wheels, they will be for sure steel.
i know , old, but i like that 1/2 door set up

Sidebar…worked at Discount Tire back in the day, we had a big bead tool that would reshape and bend the bead back into place on steelies. Used it a lot.
Had several leaking tires on alloy wheels…tires were fine, air was bubbling through the cracked wheel body. I hated seating the bead with high perf tires on Al rims.

Don’t know for sure but my guess is they won’t do that any more due to liability reasons...maybe??
That wheel as it is pictured, I drove it home from wheeling that day…about a 4 hour drive. I have now actually beaten that wheel back into submission & could get it mounted again. Probably won’t do so tho as I am looking to buy five 16” wheels soon.
Jackmans were/are good wheels, but i like BFG Muds and sometime it difficult to locate them in the size I run. So 16’s are in my near future.

DT has implemented LOTS of safety things over the years that we didn’t have.
