can't wait to see more builds on your land cruiser
I put some Cooper STT Pro on my LC! Great tire and quiet. Plus, that white lettering!👌
Texas Guy Nice choice! Great taste. 👌🏻
just went to a 285/70/17 on my tacoma, love the k02s so far. great on road and off road.
Great tires. Good choice. Those wheels look amazing too
Tom Morris Thanks man, I appreciate it. I’ve grown quite fond of KO2s. 👌🏻
BFG's are great tires. Your probably the tire shop's favorite customer.
Chris Murphy haha yeah they’re so confused lol.
I have these BF’s on my 200 LC, really like them and not too terribly loud on the interstate.
Will buy BF G’s again!
Agreed! Such a good look for the LC imo. 👌🏻
Looks good man!
Rotorwind Thank bro! 🙏🏼
Are you still happy with the tires? They look great! I’m considering an upgrade soon....have you put on a leveling kit or no?
You should do the Icon Suspension leveling kit. Raise the front an inch or two. It'll be 👌
I was really considering a kit for it but ended up trading it in. =\ back to a 4Runner TRD Pro.
Been enjoying your LC videos. We run a Tundra/200 garage. Surprised how tight a fit with the KO2s it is. Seems piles of folks went 285/70/18 RGswith a suspension upgrade. I was running 285/70/17 Duratracs in CO before I did the suspension on my 15 with no rub. Now it’s same size Exo Grapplers and they just catch the flaps at full lock.
Dean Matula Thanks bud! Appreciate that. ...and yeah I honestly thought this was going to be a more comfortable fitment but it was much tighter than I thought. What suspension setup did you go with on your 15?
Untamed Motors I went BP51s with SPC UCAs and ARB 2721 springs in the rear 2 years ago. tldr no regrets. No complaints and they’ve held up over 30k with no issue with rust or anything (I do hit them with Fluid Film occasionally). Had to zip tie one of the rear shock protectors but that was my fault (adjusting compression and rebound on them is trickier than the fronts). Was torn between those or Kings. I didn’t want digressive shocks with all the gravel and washboard roads in rural Colorado so Icons were out. I’m torn on my Tundra for what we’ll do as they’d be easier to adjust than the 200. Doing the 200 I’d consider Kings for ease of adjustment if you play with settings a lot, but they seem to needy if you’re obsessive about pitting (so more Fluid Film and home made shock boots maybe). Otherwise the BP51s are fine, work great on the roads and trails, and are pretty low maintenance. Other popular way of going seems to be Tough Dog. Seems like the Aussies just about have Land Cruiser suspensions cornered.
One more thing if you do any shop work, I know Golden is a hike from southern WY and they run a full book, but Slee Offroad really is awesome. They did my suspension as I didn’t want to invest in the tools. Best alignment I’ve had on any car. Day/night difference. It isn’t a 991 (what I had before the LC) but I’ve never had steering track so well in a truck or SUV and that includes the German SUVs.
Dean Matula I appreciate the tips man, thank you. I’d love to get this thing on some different suspension. Did you ever notice a heavy steering feel on your LC? Compared to the Tundra, it’s substantially heavier. I chalked it up to the full time 4wd... but idk. Thoughts? Maybe lifting up the front helps that?
Untamed Motors It does feel different. Stock for stock, I preferred the 15 to 16 for steering and throttle response but everywhere else the refresh is better. A good alignment and UCAs will really improve the steering, especially with heavier tires on there. Throttle response can be improved with something like a Pedal Commander. ECT helps too and you already have it. I use it pretty much all the time. Especially since I went to even heavier tires in the Exos (wouldn’t do those again). MPGs isn’t a concern with it, your driving and tires are. Stock was 16-20, Duratracs even after the lift were 15-19, and the Exos are 12-16. Even after mods, it still won’t feel like the Tundra for steering. The Tundra with a lift-level and stock size but LT Ridge Grapplers feels more fun to potter around in. Lighter steering and faster throttle response is probably why. You can throw a bunch of money at changing that with gears and a different suspension setup, or you can embrace the difference I character. For a road trip, family haul, or anything off road I prefer the LC without question and a 16+ would be even nicer. That said the chill box, which is deleted on the Heritage, is one of my family’s favorite features.
Had the same issue on my 4runner with Ridge Grapplers. To hold you over (and keep you from feeling rushed to decide on suspension work) you can try to push your fender liners forward. It costs ya nothing and takes about 15 min 👍
Fire Medic I’ll have to look into that, thank you for the idea.
Untamed Motors anytime!!!
Thanks for the videos . I have a 2018 SR5 , can I put on it the KO2 without any lift ? And how is the ride on city streets? Thanks for your help
Just bought a 2021 TLC HE, trying to pick the right KO2s. I assume your 65s have an E load range? Any issues with stiffness? I’m told a D load range is more appropriate for this vehicle but can’t find 65s with that range.
KO2's the best, did you go through AT3W?
Hey man. Love the content... I see you still have that other FJ... are you still committed on the sale..... that guy down in FL( I think you said)
ronny grullon no he had to back out due to financing issues. =\ it’s for sale again. Posted on Denver craigslist
Best tire in the market for me, my opinion don’t lift it, I had a 98 and look awesome as yours. Great window tint by the way.👍
Julian Guerrero Thanks bud, I appreciate it. I likely won’t lift it for awhile... have to build up the bank a bit more before I get too sporty hah.
If you take it off roading a lot and need more clearance I would definitely lift it. But if your using it as specifically a daily driver and just stay on dirt roads and don’t really go off roading you will be good. I have a lift and bigger tires on my 4runner because I need the extra clearance on more technical trails but I wouldn’t do all that just for looks. Takes too big of a hit on the mpg and not worth it just for looks imo.
What load rating did you get on your KO2s?
I know you don't have this anymore but when you put these tires on did you need to recalibrate anything on the LC? Or re-gear? Or did it just run fine with that larger tire size?
No recal needed, since they weren’t that much bigger it didn’t hinder anything. Drove perfectly. 👌🏻
Thanks!
I lifted mine with OME BP-51 and I'm running on 285/70/17
xzer baluyot nice! How do you like it? Did you notice any difference in steering feel? The stock steering seems heavy to me (compared to the tundra at least).
@@UntamedMotors I love it! It looks a lot tougher. The steering still feels the same, still heavy. At least I'm able to fit larger tires with no rubbing. I've taken it offroad a few times and the OME BP-51 just feels better than stock. You can adjust the height from 1" to 3" if I remember correctly and dampening/ rebound in case you install a heavy ARB bumper. The best part for me was that the LC no longer dives forward/down when I apply the brakes.
xzer baluyot that’s good info, thank you. I think I’ll keep mine stock for a bit longer... besides, the wifey isn’t thrilled about my constant upgrading and modding... haha I’ll give it a couple months. =] Grats on the setup though, I’m jealous!
what do you recommend for a rack on top? --I have a 2019 land crusier
What kind of shocks are on the Heritage?
@Untamed - any issues with rubbing after driving with them for some time now? I may use the same tire size on my Land Cruiser.
No rubbing whatsoever! I’ve done full lock turns on uneven surfaces too... no issues!
Hey guys any update on this? Thinking about going with these exact on my 21 heritage. Will I run into any issues? I’m in upstate NY with lots of snow so don’t want to push my luck. 🙏
@@cag5501 I’ve been running Toyo Open Country AT3 tires 285/65-18 on stock wheels for the last 8 months. Zero issues with rubbing. Tires have been great in the snow as well.
How was the road noise at highway speeds with these tires? Im thinking about these for my LX570
i asked my dealer about lifting the front end of my 2020 LC/HE about two inches to level the vehicle, and was told that would void the mfg warranty. Anybody else hear that? Should i worry about that? Thanks
Throw on the king's 2.5 or 3.0. I run 2.5 and it rides great
Romney Pasion is love to... however I’m trying to keep the wife happy by not spending too much more on the LC for now haha...
Is it true that the heritage edition comes stock with wheel spacers?
I don’t think they do, I put them on my 2013 and it looks great
What tyre pressure is this? 33psi or 43psi?
Did you consider 275/70/18? I'm slowly building on my 2019 LC
I did not, I'm sure that size would be just fine though.
You still have the shipping paint on your lug nuts!! Windex will take that right off
Scramble North lol I get an odd satisfaction in keeping it on as long as I can lol. Still on the 4Runner too lol
Did you install the running boards?
Yeah, Slee off-road rock sliders... they were a pain lol...
did you sell the other FJ?
Nate Yamat the buyer had to back out unfortunately due to financing reasons with his bank. So it’s reposted on Denver craigslist now.
What sliders are those?
Slee Off Road. I’d recommend Budbuilt over them. Checkout my latest land cruiser videos.
10 4
Also does the 285/65/18 fit in the spare location?
Do you work for Toyota?
I do not.
I’d never lift that LC. It’s perfect. And your tire gap is only going to get bigger.
Couple questions: what are you getting as far as MPG? And have you taken her on a trail yet?
Yeah I’m up in the air on it... likely won’t be for a while if I do tbh.
A couple small “trails” but they’re essentially jolly dirt roads so they don’t count. We went to Glendo State Park here in WY.
13.5 mpg... =\ haha
Untamed Motors Eesh. I’m doing a little better in my sequoia but just a little. These vehicles would be perfect if they got just 3-4mpg better!
“Very close” that’s going rub or cut your tires when you hit potholes etc. Thanks for the info because no sane person would do this.
