Damm!!! That really is a monster
I now get it why you call it the beast!!

How does the 2f runs with those tires on and off road? I asume you're running 4.88s, are you locked?

nice rig bro

[Dirtys87]

Hey FJ60_cruiser, my 2F (original ) only has about 150K miles. Still pretty new in my book, my UZJ100 has close to 110K and that's a 2000 model. I've got quite a few more years left. The Beast behaves real well on the road, I haven't taken it off road with the 38s, with my old 35s, the Beast went where ever I wanted. Believe it or not, I still have stock gears (unlocked of course). Will get gears in the next month or so. I can easily hit 65 MPH (limit on Michelin XLs anyway) as long as I don't go uphills, I can maintain that speed. Gas mileage>? Not an issue..... hehehehehe

[FJ60_cruiser]

Cool stock gears hehe , another quiestion, I asume you were also running stock gears when 35's so how did you felt the cruiser on and off-road?

I didn't have any problems with gearing. I could go as fast as 75MPH (estimated of course- a little bit faster than most traffic out here in Cali), crawling wise- it was a little different, but usable. Definitely could have used gears of course but it still went through 80% of the stuff I wanted to go through. later!

[landcruiserjunky]

what kind of gas mileage did u get?

I really haven't monitored gas usage but the last time I drove it from Cali to Reno (roughly 400 miles)- I was still able to get roughly twelve miles to the gallon. That's with 35s, three adult riders and full seabags. No too bad right?

it´s much better at low rpm, it helps a lot to have K&N filter and a intercooler

torque at low rpm is what it´s al about here in iceland..

[ColoradoLC]

Nice rig and great site, Magni81. I really like the scenery in the pictures (Myndasafn, right?). The 4x4s are very stout too! You guys are pretty serious there about your vehicles.

Thanks, we have to have big tires if we want to get anywhere in the snow, Myndasafn means Photagallery 44" is medium big here these days. Some have put 46"-49" under Econoline and F-350 trucks!!
