I have a similar build. What are you getting mpgs around town?..just curious. I'm at 11.5..trying to figure out if this is average for builds like ours.
I have been tracking last week just city driving and I am at 10 MPG. So with Highway, I am sure that will improve to 11-12mpg. Gotta love that we have a ECO green light, which pretty much only lights up when you are going downhill and foot off the gas..Lol! But we didn't buy these to save on fuel right?
How much more capable is your 80 Series on 35s versus the 200 on them? I assume the front solid axle on the 80 makes a difference in hardcore off-road…
Icon Stage 6 is 7995$ but comes on sale from time to time.. and Dobinson parts another $1200 plus install ~2k which includes tire mounting balancing and alignment.
Ok Tire police... so when we discuss tires, for inches it's 35/12.5/17 for instance. The 35" is tire diameter, the 12.5"for width and 17" for wheel diameter size. Then in Metric for instance, it's 315/70/17 (width/sidewall/wheel diameter) So the 315 is the width as you mention, at 12.4 inches. So in general when talking a 315 tire and a 35", to simplify when talking as comparison here in the US, we say the 315 is 34.4 and not a true 35". Perhaps I should just say the circumference is 107.9", but who would know what I was talking about except perhaps you? Oh yeah, and the 70 in the 315/70/17 is the sidewall, which represents 70% x 315 (width) which gives 220mm or 8.7". But again, who else would know this but you, I and a handful of people. So in summary, a 315/70/17 is a 34.4" tire. Interesting that 315/70/17 is a mix of metric and inches too, right? OK, thanks for playing!
Is it OK to want both? Obviously I got the best suspension, 3.0 fronts and added Dobinson bump stops , diff drop etc.. to cover all bases. Is it OK that I powdercoated some parts for my preferred look? Or does that bother you? I guess if I just wanted aesthetics I suppose I could have removed the OEM parts and put them back in? Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy peanut gallery comments and firing right back. Your comment makes me realize you own a LX470 series that is the Champagne Gold color, and you are still convincing yourself it's almost a Land Cruiser and it's about performance over aesthetics.
Just be sure to post when you do an off road trail and not a fire road. If you’re rubbing on pavement wait until you get some real off camber flex on jt. But the cruiser sure does look good.
@nphd JT? This is a Land Cruiser, not a Gladiator. When offroading I'd take my FJ40 on 40s, or the Gladiator on 43s. Yes.at full turn I touch the KDSS bolt, which we are going to flip around, vs doing the relocation. as for the sway, that moves in unison with the tire, and for flex, we did mud flap removal and some surgery which I can fine tune. Will do a test run soon.
@@CruisingTheLand ?! I own a diesel Dacia Duster here in Romania. I am from the USA though. Grew up with my father owning 1983 and 1986 LC 60 Series, 1991, 1994 and 1995 80 Series as well as a 2004 LC 100!
Absolutely beautiful Jamie, but I'd expect nothing less from you! Always great content, thank you for sharing!
Great build bud. Really enjoy your content and the TRD RW.
This makes me want to mount my 6 lug RW on my Sequoia.
Devils in the details…..super sick!
Beautiful 200 😍😍😍
Enjoyed the vid… especially the excitement in ur voice. 😂
Congrats!
Nice Job!
Looks great!
Rig n powder coating looks great!
Nice offset w those RWs
Did u install spacers or is that the offset of the RWs?
spacers imstalled.

@@CruisingTheLand hahaha...apparently not
@@Defjitzu I just put out a MPG video for the 200 series

No 200 will out wheel a 80.
80 with solid front axle is on another level off road compared to any IFS Land Cruiser.
@@CruisingTheLandSo the new LC 250 is a joke…
How did you get the front left wheel to miss the kdss?
bfg 315s are really 34.6, and the Rock warriors have a spacer. the bolt can also be switched ends so it doesn't stick out as much.
How much was total cost for suspension upgrade?
Icon Stage 6 is 7995$ but comes on sale from time to time.. and Dobinson parts another $1200 plus install ~2k which includes tire mounting balancing and alignment.
Yea- going to stick with just new tires on the 570. I’ve got an 80 for rocks. Sweet custom suspension.
Please learn tire sizes. 315 is your tire width, nothing to do with diameter. 👍

I almost feel that you are more interested in aesthetics than the actual benefits of the mods. . .
