I’d be interested in some pics of your truck, I bought my ‘95 HZJ80 bone stock European spec, whatever that means...

It had no over-arches and was running on 235/80/16 tyres on stock (very rusty) steel wheels. The road holding was so bad even though the road biased tyres we’re in good shape, I had to fit something wider, so I went for 305/70/16 on 10” rims. The offset is -20, so unless I fitted some arches, the truck would plaster itself in mud offroad, and anyway, it was well illegal with protruding tyres. Fitted a full set of Mr T arches & mudflaps, along with a 4” suspension lift, springs & shocks...

It didn’t stop there....

as seen before purchase...

and 13 years later... as it is today...

Hi! I'd be interested if you still have the original front bumper and if you'd be interested in selling it.
Hope I'm not intruding.
Thanks!

Clive doesn't visit the forum very much nowadays but that bumper was changed at least 10 years ago and having visited his house a few times it seems very unlikely he still has it .

Thanks! It was worth a try.
