I just finished some upgrades on my 1958 Land Cruiser. It’s got a 2” Rough Country lift, 295/70/18 tires with spacers, a DV8 bumper, and a winch/light bar. Plus, I added a 270° awning from Open4WD. I’m really excited about how it’s shaping up and would love to hear your thoughts.
That’s a bit more terrain than Rough Country is meant for 
Just razzing ya - looks great.

Haha, I get that. I just wanted to see how far I could push it. It’s been fun so far.
Looks awesome, man. How’s it handling off-road?

Thanks! It’s handling pretty well. The lift really makes a difference in clearance.

What kind of terrain have you taken it through? Any tough spots?

I’ve hit some rocky trails and muddy paths. It did great on both. Just had to watch out for deep ruts.
Love the setup. How does the awning work for you? Is it easy to set up?

The awning is super easy to set up. It takes just a few minutes, which is great when you’re on the go.

Sounds perfect for camping trips. Do you use it often?

Yeah, I take it out every time I go camping. It provides a nice shade and shelter.
What do you think of the 295/70/18 tires? Any issues with those?

They’ve been great so far. Good traction and stability on various surfaces. No complaints here.
This looks like a beast. What’s next on the upgrade list?

I’m thinking about upgrading the interior next. Maybe some new seats and better sound system.
