35's ARE FITTED!

Goodbye 33's! well, it's time for a change. It's time to try something different. I've gone to 35-inch Nitto Ridge Grappler's wrapped around ROH bronze assault rims. All with a 2 inch lift.

The bronzys look great with the sandy finish. Looks are important as they relate to what is functional as in it is functional in making a bloke happy.

[@GrahamSmyth-um6uh]

True there you have to have a vehicle that looks cosmetically good sounds poofy buts that's me .too many forbies out there that look absolutely shit

[@Mikelennon78]

He's using the cruiser for what it was made for.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

That's it mate 👍

[@rollyb5061]

Cruiser looks great with a lift and ROH rims

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Not too shabby at all 👌

[@BennyLC79]

Truck looks great 👍

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Cheers mate, she's really coming together nicely.

[@granthatcher-yp2wp]

Looks the goods 😁👍

[@andrewbeattie6325]

Berrima diesel 15 mins from my place - look forward to hearing your thoughts (and seeing some of the road trip!). I’ll be looking at a similar mild tune for my 76 towing a family van. Another good little vid mate I enjoy hearing your honesty with all aspects of the cruiser/life.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

I'm proper keen to head down to Berrima mate and do some filming along the way! Definitely a good spot for a tune. Thankyou that's great to hear, I'm glad you enjoy and thanks for watching 🤝

[@benmoore8911]

The utes looking awesome!

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Cheers mate 🤝

[@phillipduplessis6425]

For me looks is more about proportions than actual sizes of wheels or whatever, let me tell you've bloody nailed it! looks sick!!

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Yeah cheers mate, I reckon she's pretty spot on!

[@RoamingRooma]

Looks good now. Yes you are correct much cheaper than other big brands. 3ply side wall is a winner

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

315's are the go, as soon as you step up to say a, 35/17 your looking at $700! 3 ply side wall always.

[@ARCHIES_79_LC]

Wheels look top notch mate. Glad you went the bronze over the standard black ROH Assaults everyone has including myself haha. Truck’s looking the business now 👍👍

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Cheers mate, yeah I'm really glad I went with the bronze, just something different. Good as gold 👍

[@mohammedmuzakkir9803]

Honest review, very realistic not like other influencers hyping things up, yes berrima diesel seems legit, they have been around for a long time, one thing i have noticed to practice more of safe tune, for longevity unlike other famous tuners who try to put maximum output from the motor. People have commented on berrima social media platform that they had better fuel economy and better tune so bet its worth a trip

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Cheers mate, yeah if I do go with a tune, it will most likely be with Berrima diesel. Nothing crazy, just a slight safe increase.

[@bretthogno]

Best looking tyre on the market in my opinion 👌 They just look tough.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Yeah, I reckon they look shit hot mate 🔥 🥵

[@VaughanMunro-js4nr]

Another Great upgrade. Wheels and tyres to suit the conditions, vehicle is used in.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Thanks mate, it's all coming together.

[@slickrick765]

I found with the narrow track at the back I snaked going through sand when driving from a to b, not crawling or in short bursts, I also though because it's not driving in the track of the front and being on the mound of sand because it's not as wide my economy was more. Could be me with economy but the snaking was resolved.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Fair enough mate, I've had all my rigs snake in sand like Hilux for example, but nothing terrible. Sometimes they get a bit of a twerk up 🍑 😂

[@deceptikhon]

Nothing wrong with going for looks, 50% of the car purchase for me is looks. Im looking at the Jrace 3" lift on leafs and 315/75/16 on my cruiser. I don't need a 3" lift or 35s but it looks good hey =D. Looks good mate, love the ROH in the bronze.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Hehe, yeah that's it mate, for some folks looks is everything. That'll be a sweet set up 👌

[@orangejuicepony6881]

Love the 250kg of steel in the spring pack on the rear of these things 😂

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Big suckers, im running 600 kg packs, so far so good. And it's a solid set up for work, weight, and corrugations. Leafs all day 👌

[@fatmanoverlanding]

I've had 4WDs now for nearly two decades in total, and I have not had any issues with any alloy wheels on any of my 4WDs (touch wood). Then again I don't do hard wheeling, like rock hopping/crawling. Or any type of 4WDing that could damage my rig.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Yeah look I honestly think I'll be fine also, steelies are more bush proof realistically. But now that I've gone a 35 on a 16 inch rim, I have a lot of sidewall for example wilhich gives me greater protection.

[@LyfovRyan51]

I added a Safari Armax package to mine, as I was towing often. The torque increase was great, but took Package out as The 79 needed an injector arm and sensor replaced (done under warranty). Knowing now, I wish I'd just got the rear track correction done. I'll be interested to see how the negative rims work out for you.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Yep, I won't go anywhere near any type of module, chip, flash tune, you name it, I don't care how safe they try to tell you it is. The only way is with a reputable diesel shop, full dyno tune. Like I said, I only run offset wheels for looks, narrow track never bothered me driving. I've never had a drama with offset wheels on LandCruiser's. Should be all sweet.

[@roberthocking9138]

Yeah right, a “bit of a trip “ to Berrimah diesel , across the other side of AUS 😂

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Yeah well, when you live in the middle of nothing, a trip to Berrima diesel is just up the road 😂

[@courtneymccagh3815]

Sick bus mate well done

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Thanks mate, I'm happy with how it's coming together.

[@dustyfarmer]

Fit an ADR approved braided brake line kit & DBA XP pads all round to improve your braking. You''ll find at full droop your rear brake line from the chassis to diff will be tight as with the standard hose. Looks like not all LC70's flex like burnt toast.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Cheers mate, I'll check em out.

[@ShayneHower]

Hi mate if u want a good tune check out diesel tune in Adelaide just had mine done there and it’s changed it to a better landcruiser and I think Scott goes up your way cheers

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

That's the go mate, if I get it done, it's got to be a dyno tune done properly. I put a lot of faith into Berrima but am open to other places. Thanks for the tip.

[@ShayneHower]

@@OutbackOffroadNT Kool mate I got mine tune for towing the caravan and touring and it’s a total animal now but I spent over 20k there up to u but I’m happy with Diesel tune Adelaide but mine is 2011 pre dpf but Scott and Paul were great I didn’t want a race car as it’s a 4 ton truck and I put the updated 5 speed gear box in it cheers for replying love ur KZbin channel I’ve watch every one

That sounds awesome man, chats like this get me keen as to tune it haha. You got the Pre dpf must sound amazing. Cheers mate thanks for watching, I'm really glad you enjoy the channel. 🤝

@@OutbackOffroadNT yeah it does 3 inch manta from turbo back in to a twin system sound awesome mate sound like a v8 now

[@kunshang4740]

I got my black wheels a little 7 months too early when I first got my 76 hahahha, I actually purposely looked for bronze wheels to fit the sandy 76 but too expensive and not matching the track for the look front/back, would definitely gone for bronze if I had the option back then. Great stuff, keen to find out how the mt64s performs, currently tossing up between the bp51/mt64 but probably end up with mt64s as the bp51s are in the 7k mark.. which seems to be a bit too much for just a 2inch lift and what I use it for😂.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Ahh what a shame! I still like black wheels, but the bronze is nice and something different. Yeah I've ran bp's before and liked them, I'll see how these MT64 go performance wise. They seem to be durable.

[@craigwoodward4566]

Thank you. The truck would benefit from a “ nicer “ bull bar Off Road Animal for example

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

So hard to choose a bull bar, I ordered an arb deluxe but don't really want it, thinking about the arb summit...

Top rig mate well done , have you consider sound deadening on your vehicle ?? It helps with sound and cooling a well . I just done on my 24 lc its best ting so far .

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

I haven't put too much thought into it really. Maybe something I look into down the line, did it make a big difference hey?

[@RoamingSoulsExploring]

Nice mate, looking great. What brand did you use for the lift and have you changed any other parts to the suspension setup to accomodate the 35's or are you running just the lift?

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Thanks mate, I explained in this Video what i did to fit 35's. I've also uploaded a video on the suspension, running OME gear. Cheers

[@joemcauliffe8792]

Rig looking top notch now mate. Did you have to have it engineered to go with 35s? Berrrima diesel rock, would be a great trip, just do it

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Cheers mate, allowed to go 50mm bigger then stock, workmate runs 33's from factory so should be all sweet.

[@BrokenSprocket]

Your a long way from Berrima Diesel LOL...

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Yeah, sure are mate. I think it'll be worth it though, and if I do head down there, it'll be worked into a Simpson Desert crossing possibly.

[@BrokenSprocket]

@OutbackOffroadNT I'm 30 minutes from Berrima love your content

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Thanks mate, oh that's awesome, I may see you around somewhere!

[@mrsbradpittiful]

Put your hand in your pocket and get a new rear diff housing More than a 25mm offset is illegal and insurance will wipe their hands with you. Not to mention there are so many examples of cheap cunce towing a decent load with neg 50 off set rims and shearing the wheel studs off due to the centre of gravity being transferred Man up and get a new diff

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

The wheel track of off-road four wheel drive vehicles must not be increased by more than 100mm beyond the maximum specified by the vehicle manufacturer for the particular model. That's in the NT. That's what I'm going by. (Measuring front diff housing) I ran neg 50's on my 2008 79, traded it in at 300,000km with not one drama. 🤷‍♂️

@@OutbackOffroadNT Did you ever consider a 35x12.50r17 YOKOHAMA GEOLANDAR G017 XD AT, if you did, but didn't pick them was it price, availability, design? This is a tyre I am considering, I'd welcome your insight.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Well, running a 315 is usually much cheaper. For example I paid $440, if I went to a 35 on a 17 inch rim of the same tyre, I was looking at $700 plus. I could be wrong but I don't think the yokohama comes in a 315. They seem like they'd be a durable tyre though mate.

can you measure the bottom of the rim to the fender standing still then do it again when the tire/wheel is up in the air? Would love to see how much droop you are getting.

Hey bro I’m a total newbie to all this but I’m from Vancouver Canada I just bought a jeep jk wrangler 4 door and it came with 35 inch tires not sure the lift but it’s higher than most stock jeeps and tucks on the road. Are 35s good for rocks not like crazy but whatever’s on the road and what about snow you think is that size good or go higher up??

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

All the way from Vancouver! That is awesome. 35's are a good size for offroad in general in my opinion. As for snow, well, I come from the desert of Australia. So I'd probably be the worst person to ask haha! Though i will say that I think with snow and ice, the tread pattern and tyre (tire) type is more important imo. There are some great vids I've seen from the US and probably Canada explaining this in detail. Thanks for reaching out mate. 🤝👍
