Peterg's 200 series Landcruiser

[17triton]

All good, maybe. Awning and roof rack off. Rough measure says 1.98m with a bit of a bend on the top half of the tape......allow an extra 0.01m for the tape to straighten.......more than an inch clearance.........and if it comes to it I can always airdown by a centimetre or two more.....I'll let you know how I go......

I thought you said you don't let air out of your tyres!

Thanks for the reminder @17triton Special occasions only....well actualy I'll be paying $50 less for parking if I have to.

If it doesn't fit can you post pics?

Know how you feel re height. Our Ranger is 2.2m high. The other day when I went I to a car park with 2.3 clearance I was ducking down in the car as I thought we were going to touch. Not that ducking helps but you never know.

New shoes time. I've decided to stay with Toyo Open Country A/T 2's after wringing 80,000km out of them. At $300 each for 285/65/17. I can't go too wrong.

Apparently they are a credible contender. i put them on the van

Yeah, the Toyo's get very good feedback. I went with Falken, but that was an availability question - Toyo were the top of my shopping list (in the weird size I needed 285/65R18)

Had the Toyo's on an old 80 series and was quite happy with them back in the day.
Can't go wrong at that price either!

I like the rear wheel carrier. What brand is it @peterg

Kamar. The structural bar fits inside the cruisers rear bumper. You can get lhs or rhs or both.

The new boots. $304.50 each including disposal fee. Gotta be happy with that!

Wow not seen that before.

I did manage to break 3 bilstein shocks, but they wouldn't template them.

 

[peterg]

I can see clearly now....

I'll be interested in feedback on those lights, been thinking of a set for my bus. Don't do much night stuff but the bullbar lends itself to a pair.

 

[peterg]

@rags once I have a chance to focus them, I 'll let you know. At less than $300 each and providing a good spread they seemed like good value. I realised early on that I don't drive fast enough to need to see 1km down the road.....

And I realised that I got an Expanda so I don't need to drive at night

Just a question bro first they do look good
But do you think this type of stuff on the front blocks air getting in or restricts it would light bars be better to let more air in ??????????

I don't believe so. Look at all of the modern cars that have very little open frontage for airflow. Not to mention potential lawsuits if they did cause problems.

I'll let you know if the beast runs any warmer when I head home.

Just back in Deni. Admittedly a coolish day but the temp stuck to it's normal position. So no noticable change in running temp as expected.

Asked a guy at Kerang when I filled about his, 2 spots in the bar and light bar on top and a ton of extra gear hanging of his 75 series ute. All the additional temp guages inside to apparently. He recons his temps stay within 20 degrees of prefitting lights.

So I think I'll go back to not worrying....
