Very nice 70 series. We did not get those here in the states and they are probably my favorite LC series. 

[toyotanner]

i want one

[erick350]

thanks gauys!
whats your advise to go biggger tyres and wider axels. my dream on it is 38's or 39's but i think i will need big axels i like dana's. i'm stock if this coils are good enough for big tyres

[46&2]

Well Toyota solid axles are pretty tough. A lot of guys on here run 40" tires on their toyota axles. Since your front axle is the same as ours you can upgrade to Longfields (http://www.longfieldsuperaxles.com/) which are super beefy versions of the birfield joint. You can use offset rims and small wheel spacers (NO more than 2") to get some extra width. As for coils I dont know much about coil suspensions but I would imagine lifting it even further would cause you to have to change all your coils and toyota links to aftermarket or custom longer ones.

What is your wheelbase??

I sent you an e-mail.Hey Eric is there alot of really built trucks overthere?.The last time I went was 8 years ago and the only thing I saw was a pretty built Jeep but he was going the other way so I couldn't really see it.Other than that I looked around and couldn't find anything.
