The best part of your reviews in comparison to the others, you lowered it more! How awesome is that I think It checks all the boxes for me. Definitely lower looks best.
The rollbar looks awesome on the truck but I think you should paint it white to tie into the color scheme of the truck it would look. 😗👌 Also the white steelies look great on the truck than the other rims. 👍👍
I'd forgotten about these tires but, RC4WD sells the Interco TSL Narrow (Super Swamper), too. They might be what you're looking for as far as the retro look.
Hrm....white land cruiser steelies with the 'sport' mirrors and the stripe kit on an 82? Certainly quite the interesting build sheet, even my DLX trim 82 came with chrome!...and the 4 speed (who needs to go faster than 60 anyways?) But the black rollbar looks good! But maybe the RC4WD double tube bumpers would match it nicely for that 'dealer upgrade' look? Rc4wd part numbers Z-S0273 and Z-S0477 Also if ya do a topper, most of em weren't painted body color at the time, So they were typically white, beige or a sort of light greyish color. My 1:1 has a period correct topper and it's a weird beige color as original
They were the rims I thought of in my last comment but I forgot about the 1.9/7/55 size thing.🤦🏻♂️😄 To be fair, the small first tyres did look like some of the brochure Hiluxs I looked at which had all the wheel well gap.😜
That i cant say for sure, some have different size beadlock rings, especially other brands. Also Im sure under extreme power these probably wouldnt hold as well as a 1.55 tire would. But I wasnt able to pull the tire off the bead by hand, so its strong enough for my driving style.
Love the white wheels but I'm curious how the new trans/skid plate gives more clearance but doesn't change the angle of the transfer case to gearbox connection?
The case angles down from the input from the transmission, this skid just lifts up the output side while leaving the input in the same spot, and it’s designed to fit tighter around the case. The only downside is in lifted rigs you may need longer driveshafts.
@@RCeveryday thanks for the explanation. Anything is better than the stock trench-digger. I have the RC4WD low-profile Delrin skid on two of mine but want to try the A&M Garage as well as the BowHouse versions. Cheers.
I have the A&M on my 4runner. It is for more serious crawling, lots of weight down low, but it tucks everything up so high you will definitely need longer drive shafts.
It could work on a trailer, tires might be too big depending on what type it is. The rear plastic bumper does have a receiver hitch. Would have to add a rear leaf spring to the truck to tow with it, ite pretty soft the way I have it set up.
The a&m is great, but it’s more for serious crawling. Adds weight down low, but it raises the t case up so much you will likely need longer driveshafts. The bowhouse is on most of my tf2’s, a good cheaper solution without spending more on drive shafts and still a huge improvement over the stock piece.
Moave? No more now license,,I dont like skid plate cover my transfer case I want to show off or break trying. I made my own case mount from top looks better I think.
