Hell yeah man, I'm definately hooked on this shit now. My lift will be here tomorrow, then I get to pick out tires and tell that damn rock to fuck off next time lol. Chris (silver TJ) and kevin (Cherokee) definitely had the setups to cross the creek. The commander would have been TOAST! haha

You better. You're a blaspheme to the Jeep world, man. You took a Jeep into a wet trail and came out with barely the rockers dirty? I'm surprised you didn't wipe the rockers clean after every splash.....

....lolol. But get that shit dirty, man! Later, QD.

did that rock bend anything or is it ok? the lift is a basic 2" lift. still good for around town and doesnt change the ride characteristics much. tires i'm looking at are 245/75/17's. should look pretty mean when i'm done! and naw, the rock just hit the plastic rocker... it bent right back haha. i got lucky.

DUDE IT DOES!!!! HAHAAHA but that'll be fixed this week.

looks like fun!

Props on getting a car dirty! How did the FJ do? I like what Toyota did with it.. but I'm not sure it is worthy the name of the glorious 1st gen FJ cruiser!

Collins... Put 31x10.50s on that. Dont even waste your money on those baby 245s!

..Is the FJ really supercharged?

collins
03-27-2011, 01:26 PM
To my knowledge it is. I never looked under the hood tho. With a banner like that, I certainly hope it is lol.

And Nate, it's a daily driver that sees just a tad of offroad fun. The 245's are just fine.

It's actually got a turbo on it. That company used his car for some R&D on the kit, and he got it for free.

31s wont make any difference in on road capability. Especially if they are just A/Ts. With the 2" lift they wont even rub. Brooks will give you a killer deal that will prob come out the same price as 245s. You will be kicking yourself next time we go somewhere more challenging than a FS road if you dont throw 31s under that beast.

Thats the way to do it! Have a beater just in case something like that falls in your lap. I'd love to let a company use my car for R&D.

He actually has an enduro bike and trailed it behind his FJ all the way to maryland or somewhere around there, and rode the bike back here and commuted with it until it was done haha

I know I'm a lot... late to this thread, but.. very nice pics! I am looking to hit some of these trails. Hit me up with times/pages that tell scheduled times or places of trail riding. All of the people I know around here, want to just go mudding. I don't mind getting muddy.. but I don't want to sink my Jeep.
