FZJ80 Build

With 4.88's you have a lot of margin for power. Do keep weight down as much as you can though, it's easy to plump up.

Thanks for the info. I was going to wait to regear but figured I'd regret it.

That's right @pseebald I'm changing the exterior color! I'm not much of a fan of that blue. And that is my company's work shop. We have a nation wide distribution of tires and here were we fix the semis and we also use it for our personal vehicles. We have several land cruisers that we use in our ranch.

I actually just pulled her out of the garage yesterday. She wasn't necessarily happy to start up after sitting for nearly a month but after a few minutes runs great. Ill share some pictures soon! I like the seats! Did you have an upholstery person do that?

The ride is really nice on the new setup. I had an alignment done as well. For an aftermarket setup this suspension really feels quite stock with no rubbing under normal driving on the 35s. The Coopers make no noise so far on the road. My duratracs on my old truck made more noise.

A few more pictures out on the river bar today. I actually popped one of my rear sway bar brackets in this picture looks like I need to extend the rears!

Awesome [emoji122] does it feels slow or heavy with those tires?

Sorry about a very delayed response I haven't been on the forums in a bit. It doesn't feel slow at all with the re-gear. It's definitely no sports car! Your truck is coming along great!
