Hello All,

My name is Nathan or "Nate" Hefty and I'm happy to be joining all of you on this forum! My brother Chris (User name "Hefty") just joined up and I'm excited to be able to participate here as well. Unlike my brother, I wheel Toyotas and currently have a '93 Pickup and a '95 Land Cruiser. I'll post up some pics.

I'm excited to be able to participate and contribute here. Let me know if you have any questions!

I wheeled a camry for about a year and then got a '93 pickup. This is how it sits currently:

So now we come to the LC80. When I got it (Aug '09)

There will be a jerry can holder and hi-lift mount on the passenger arm.
Still to come as $$ permits:
Custom linked front with approximately 3.5-4" lift.
37's
Tan Spray Liner over the whole truck
Remove Factory roof rack
And a bunch of other things I can't think of right now.

Let me know what you think!

Welcome to the forum! Looking forward to meeting you on a run!

Shoot Dave Nay a PM as he has an LC running 37s if you have questions regarding suspension/clearance . He has done an awful lot of research into the suspension system on the LCs. Nay on the forum...I love those LCs...

I wheeled my 94 for with a set up like your 93 for a couple of years before I took it into Photoshop and modified it...

Thanks Brody! Yeah, I'm familiar with Nay's setup from IH8MUD.com. He's got an awesome rig, and I'll be running a similar setup eventually (37s+ on 3.5-4" lift).

I'm very jealous of your photoshop skills...


Well, we got the rear almost finished now. Here are some pics:
