/HOW TO CHOOSE
Road is kit for the vehicle itself: parts, tires, lights and places to put things.
/PARTS
Mostly 80 Series Land Cruiser: 7075 aluminum control arms and steering linkage from Overland Custom Design, and Perry Parts MK3 bump stops. The 80 Series parts are also grouped in 80 Series Land Cruiser. Not sure which 80 you have? Read FJ80 vs FZJ80 vs HDJ81.
/TIRES
Mickey Thompson Baja Boss in six sizes. The A/T carries a snow rating and a warranty and is the right tire for most builds. The M/T is for real mud. At 35 inches, the wide 35X12.50R17LT floats on sand and the narrow LT255/85R17 holds tight lines and cuts through snow.
/STORAGE
Blue Ridge vehicle attics turn the headliner into storage for jackets and sleeping bags, each one cut for one vehicle: Land Cruiser and LX, 4Runner and GX, Tacoma, Bronco and three Jeeps. The Overland Custom Design tailgate panel gives a Land Cruiser a hard surface to work on.
/TIE-DOWNS
Rollercam cam straps. Pick the width for the load: 0.75 in for light gear, 1 in for most racks, 1.25 in for heavy loads. Then pick the end: straight to wrap, a loop for a rack bar, a hook or carabiner for a tie-down point. The Overland Strap Kit is eighteen straps in one bag.
/LIGHTING
Baja Designs S2 pods. The Pro is the one for lighting the road ahead. The Sport is the same size for less, and the right pick for fog, reverse, rack or camp light.
