How ya going with turning those wheels? I'd imagine it'd make doing hillclimbs / mudwork pretty tough? I've been so tempted to go over 27" for the extra clearance but I don't want to if I lose ability.

The L series outers don't work with the MY hubs, the shaft's don't bed in properly leaving a few mm of play, can make things pretty hairy while driving, and thats was just with one, I imagine that if both front wheels could go where they want it would be brown trousers time. 8O

I have been told that you can put the MY outers on the L series shafts though.

I'm interested in what body mods were required to fit those tyres under the rear arches.....im thinking of something similar for my 3" lifted L series.....6 lug conversion with 15" wheels sounds good to me.

and i still rub the rear wheels over a decent bump

going to try some l series rear struts and see what happens there

How do you find the ej for turning that size wheel? What's the low-range crawl like?

When you bought the wheels did you just ask for "navarra" offset, or did you need to be more specific?

the ej22 with the 3.9 L series 5 speed is awesome :lol:

has the power to spin all 4 in 1st high from abuot 2000 rpm

crawl is a little too high for serious 4wding, wont quite hold you going down a steep rocky hill, but going up is a breeze


and i just went in to the tyre shopand told them what they were for and they said navara offset would be the go (after tons of questions about how i was planning on fitting 30's on the soob)

BRUMBERTY would be able to give you more info on the offsets and he just went through it all :wink:

navara offset for the fronts on mine,
(which is 50mm wider than the rear due to steering mods)
IFS landcruiser offset for the rear corrected this.
