@jamesreardon8585 in the comments made a good point, i forgot at the time. the speedo would be reading a little different so i was probably doing more speed hence revs looking like they hadnt changed much, ill get a gps speedo readout and report back in another vid.

[@jamesreardon8585]

just use google maps for gps speed to give you a good idea

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Great idea, will do, cheers.

[@bradt3873]

Another great video legend. Great production quality, no nonsense just good content.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Thanks mate, much appreciated hey. 👍

[@pauldascal5859]

Thank you for another great video I always look forward to your videos and please keep them coming.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Love hearing it mate, thanks a lot their is another ep coming out on Sunday just in time for Xmas. 🍻

[@Blanchy1977]

Another cool video mate. That’s handy to know with the 285’s. Slight mods to fit the spare underneath too. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Have a great break if you get one out there 👍🏾

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Yeah it's a good size for these rigs in my opinion, much appreciated mate you also. Take it easy and dont open to many presents haha.

[@dognute2746]

Your ute looks great. I like your well chosen and effective mods.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Thanks mate! 👍

[@anbu999]

Love the trophy truck style spare tire placement.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Haha! Yes! Mate exactly what I was thinking. I was wondering if anyone would notice the similarities. I kinda wanna keep it their 🤔

[@danimekhaeel7572]

love your videos mate!

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Yeah I'm definitely happy with it, cheers mate you to. 👍

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, personally I’m not a fan of black rims but I actually don’t mind the look of this, interesting the price of the spare, I hope your brother try’s these to see if there worth the savings, thanks for the awesome content this year and have a great Christmas and all the best for 2024 mate, I’ll be watching Sunday for sure, cheers

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Matty! Love it when you leave a comment mate, haha. Yeah fair enough every man and his dog run black rims but yes I love these graphite factory wheels. I really wanna test those cheap tyres out I'm curious as hell. Thankyou so much man much appreciated! You have a bloody good Xmas. 👍

[@kromey111]

Amazing the tyre shop fitted them to a 7" rim. Mickey Thompson doesn’t even recommend it

[@ggbogo935]

Bloody oath she's lookin' staunch now! The newly facelifted 79's are definitely starting to grow on me, all it needed was some new shoes. I'd be too tempted to chuck a modest lift on it now haha

[@paulturpie8758]

Nice work and great videos. I have a Christmas 2022 LCDC79 heavily modified. I did the same with the spare tyre 285 70 17 - bit of a struggle with the width too, but a port a power did the job to widen things a little. Still kept the slide in tank protector plate though. About your number plate troubles, I put mine on a 12mm square x 400mm long steel swing arm powder coated in 79 white with a stain-o latch. It is located just under the Toyota decal on the bottom edge of the tray. The number plate sits directly in the middle of the spare tyre. Just pull the spring stain-o latch, swing the arm to the left - spare tyre comes out...easy. Very neat with LED plate light etc. Could send you a photo if you want. Worked a treat for clearance and looks good too. Good luck, keep up the great work.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Excellent mate, thanks for the info much appreciated! I have raised the number plate and it helped, are you on instagram? If so send me a pic through there if you like I definitely like the sound of that idea, a good spot to move the number plate to.

[@paulturpie8758]

No, not on the gram or the book. Saw your Insta, but can't message unless I have the same. All good. Just email, Whatsapp, LinkedIn.

[@steve2473]

leave the plate in but take the two back bolts out, then get some Gorilla cloth tape and put it on the bottom of the plate so it sits on the fuel tank.. worked for me.

[@jamesreardon8585]

I got rid of the Micky's after three sets and went with Maxxis Razr , absolutely love them

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Yeah fair enough, this is my 3rd set actually and I do like them. I hear good things about Maxxis and will try them one day.

[@jamesreardon8585]

Lots of choices out there, mine is a 2003 cruiser ute so I've had time to try a few, best tyre on road I've had with good off road capability@@OutbackOffroadNT

[@fatmanoverlanding]

Good one mate. It's looking schmick. 👍 My BFG KO2s are exactly the same size tyres that you have (285/75/16). For me, 33's are ideal for my use. I don't need 35's. As for the Landcruiser handbrakes, I hate confirming the stereotype but I get nightmares with my 80 Series' handbrake. 😲😁

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Cheers mate, yeah I reckon 33's are the go. Haha the good ol handbrake!

[@chechnyafree1]

отличная работа 👌🤝

[@jelford194]

The Cruisers looking mint. In regards to the spare tyre mount. How would it go, if you left the tyre tray in place. Cut the posts off and weld them on abit further apart?

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Cheers mate, yeah you could definitely mod it a number of ways.

[@ianparsons8894]

The Workmate comes from factory with 33s but much narrower (225/95R16, same diameter as a 285/75R16 but 60mm narrower).

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Yeah, I mentioned this. Cheers mate 👍

[@fathomtheundertaker4356]

Nice rig mate, will those front flares fit on the new troopy? Pick mine up in a couple of days but no one has flares available yet, stuck with skinnys until I flare the guards

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Thankyou, congrats mate! they should definitely go on, I see no reason they wouldn't. I wonder how easy they are to get from Toyota.

[@davidvoss1508]

Mate just put some spacers into the rear of that bracket, to push the front bit forward.

[@arnhemland4wding756]

From what ive heard, arb bullbar and factory toyota bar only had to be trimmed if running 35s on a 2inch lift. Factory lift and 33s no need 👍🤙 merry Christmas btw mate! Also, are there plans on getting a 3" exhaust?

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Yeah for sure mate, I've definitely seen some blokes trim the bar and take rear mudguard off for 33, but yeah not necessary. Thanks mate! Merry Xmas to you to. I think I have to right? Haha but it'll most likely be Torqit's 3.5 dpf back exhaust. They sound pretty nice even with dpf.

[@jeffreyscott4564]

Awesome Truck. Look forward to seeing how you like the Mickey Thompson tires, That said, I personally wouldn't run a Chinese Tire.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Cheers mate, they went well, ive ran a few sets, few to many sidewall punctures, some though were because I was running a rim a little to narrow. These were made in USA, I'm on to Toyos now which I've ran in the past.

[@jeffreyscott4564]

@@OutbackOffroadNT I was going to try the MT Baja Boss on my new Grenadier but went to the new Goodyear Duratrac RT. I've ran the Toyo's, on several trucks and was happy but I think traction is better with the Goodyear's Good luck, I'll keep checking your channel

[@poikanick9041]

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Yep, mine works like a charm!

[@alexstokes8949]

Looks the part mate… maybe a small ecu tune. I did with mine dropped the power a bit..

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Cheers, yeah I went bush today and noticed the power drop tbh.

[@mrgarrison3516]

What happened to your original tyres that the tyre shop removed? and did u consider just leaving the original tyre on the spare? (as u mentioned u prob would never use it) Ps, merry Xmas

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Original tyres are a smaller size so no good, cheers mate.

[@KiwiPokerPlayer]

4:28 If it's part of your rounds and it's damaging your truck, build it up a bit, or down if you can get heavy enough stuff in there for a permanent solution.

[@paulboon1100]

If you've got a GPS try it out and you'll find at 110kph you'll be going a lot faster if your Speedo was correct in the first place, the revs and the Speedo basically work together and won't change with different tyre sizes. The GPS looks at time x actual distance working out speed. When I put 33"s on mine I had a 9km(9%) discrepancy, as it happened the Speedo was always 9km fast so after fitting the tyres it was actually accurate. The same thing happens when you put a higher diff ratio in. Most speedometers read faster than the cars actual speed usually 4 to 5 km/h. Keeps people honest!?? But just in case it could cost you some speeding tickets.

[@paulboon1100]

Sorry just read that other comment, it says the same thing basically😅

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Haha all good mate, spot on.

[@potaczX]

Do you still have 6th gear on her with those wheels? Or is it the same problem like with the Hilux?

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

This is the v8 manual mate. Good question though. 👍

[@patricklawlor2911]

I've had a full set of the radars on my 4wd and they were the worst set of tyres I've had by far. They were the a/t not the m/t but they lasted no more than 20k. Sailun or nankang are a really good cheaper tyre. 👍

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Beauty, good to know mate thanks. I know a couple station blokes that have run sailun and like them.

[@dustyfarmer]

Did the tyre shop say anything about the the Toyota GXL alloy 16x7" rims and the 285/75R16 tyre allegedly needing a 7.5" - 9" wide rim? I'm running Toyo AT2;s 285/75R16 on 7" wide ROH Trak 2 rims & have had no issues but the bloke at one tyre shop reckons with the 7" rims the tyre can & will crack in between the side tread blocks.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Interesting mate, we will see what happens, we had a brief chat and I said I want them let's fit them. So it was all on me. I've seen 305's on these rims... I wouldn't do that but hey.

[@dustyfarmer]

@@OutbackOffroadNT I'm concerned that it might / will void my comprehensive insurance on my vehicle in the event of a collision or accident.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Bloody good point!

[@shalininaicker]

The larger tyres will make your speedo read slower.

Beautiful congrats mate! 👏

[@peterwheaton5095]

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Toyota

[@jamesreardon8585]

mate your rpm may have dropped but you need to gps the actual speed for a true reading, easy to do

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Yes, good point mate. I didn't think about that at the time, most people say that the speedo reads true on 33's. I'll have to get a gps accurate reading and check revs, i pinned a comment in regards to this, thankyou.

[@chrisgregory4796]

The bigger tyres keep the ks down on the odometer as well. Drive 1000 actual km and only add 950 to odometer. Dorsnt sound much but may inprove resale fractionally.

[@dustyfarmer]

@@chrisgregory4796 I checked my Landcruiser VDJ79R with 285/75R16 tyres against the 5 kilometer speedo check on the highway & it clicked over exactly at each kilometer marker. My GPS dashcam speed is exactly the same as the speedo now at 100Kmh. There is about 5% error built into the speedo as per A.D.R design rules so you shouldn't get booked at any given speed limit if you go on whats reported on the dash but the 285/75R16 bring it up to near enough 100% accurate.

[@chrisgregory4796]

@@dustyfarmer i suppose its better to have the ODO reading actual Km than clocking up more than youre really doing. I added 4% bugger tyres to my ute and now the speedo reads identical to the gps. Before the soeedo would say 100km/hr and the gps would say 96km/hr. But now if i drive 100km actual the ODO only adds 96km.

[@dustyfarmer]

@@chrisgregory4796 Bugger tyres, Are you from New Zealand bro?

[@NickGunn]

What was the factory tyre size?

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

265/70/16 This is the GXL, Workmate comes with 33's

[@J.Young808]

Don’t you have an air compressor? Just deflate the spare until you need it and then inflate for use.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

I sure do have a compressor. She fits in all is good.

[@shalininaicker]

What is the width of the Toyota rims ?

[@ianparsons8894]

7 inches

[@stevenbrown2401]

Modify the plate and drop it lower at the front

[@jamesm6341]

Does it hold 6th gear with 33s?

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

This is the v8 manual mate, but good question. 👍

[@dustyfarmer]

6th gear in a Landcruiser V8 ute is the 33" tyres.

[@marty8697]

Are they 7" rims or 8" 33 on a 7" rim are illegal

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Pretty sure they are still 7 mate.

[@marty8697]

@OutbackOffroadNT I had to go 8" on my 76 for 285/75/16 the tyre shop told me to fit those tyres on a 7" rim is illegal. Just letting you know find out and make sure.

[@dustyfarmer]

@@marty8697 I've been getting told the same thing from tyre shops as I've been looking for a set of new 285's. I might have to drop back to 265's on my 7" wide rims.

[@jelford194]

It's not illegal to put 285's on a 7" wheel!! It's not recommended by most manufacturers.

[@dustyfarmer]

@@jelford194 I was looking at the writing on my 285 Toyo's & it only says "Fit to a 16" rim only" but there's plenty of information about 285's on a 7" & they reckon 7.5"wide minimum to 9" wide max. I've got the Lovell's SSM GVM 3900Kg upgrade & I spoke to them about this issue & they told me the same as the tyre shops and how I need to keep it as designed to keep the rating. The 3900Kg GVM upgrade was designed with stock 5.5" wide Toyota Workmate split rims with 7.50R16 8 ply Dunlop Road Gripper pizza cutters. The 12.9 grade wheel nuts, 1500Kg per rim & 10 ply tyre configuration exceed that original rating but it's just the rim width I'm concerned about, I'll most likely buy a set of Trak 2, 8"s.

[@laloolhouvum1634]

Why not on 35s?

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Just not necessary mate, more weight, more money, more fuel usage, more stress on drive line, can't fit under tray, substantial loss of power, 33's go straight in stock suspension... list goes on.
