Hit up Italian trap to three feathers today, w/ 2 other FJC's. Very nice day, not too many mental midgets out in force. Check out the videos 2nd page and on, sorry I'm not that technologically savy
Not sure if I have inserted the link properly

Air those tires down. You're spinning and bouncing all over the place!

100-series @ 18 lbs. Downright boring:

That's wall, (I was thinking the same thing, air down or suspension too stiff) edit: he was running @ 18psi, it was a hard line. i did not skip a beat, went right up no problem I was running @ 23 psi(page 3 of thread), all obstacles. I do have a mod to run the atrac up front w/ diff locks in back in conjuction, so it's a little bit different. Did you see the suzuki close to disaster

Yeah shotts I've seen that video my favorite is the guy asking if you want a spot ( I did the same thing my first time there, no spot just rocked it I was the first stock FJC to do three feathers from my understanding June 2006), I've also seen the pics of brian leading you up the left side, WOW is all I have to say. Thanks for posting a comment! Loving your limo

I missed yours and the Zuk. WIll go back. J

ShottsUZJ100 · 02-12-07, 01:06 PM

The Zuke needs to widen his track.

TrAiLbUs1 · 02-12-07, 02:46 PM

Yeah, he also needs to empty the contents of his big gulp (on the ground), I suspect it was full of wild turkey. Tipsy possibly?

TrAiLbUs1 · 02-13-07, 03:02 PM

Here are some pictures.

TrAiLbUs1 No lift, just bigger tires

This is Sonic w/ 3" allpro coilovers

NOT being a smart ass.....question though:

Why are those FJ's lifting a rear tire in that lower hole?

Are the suspensions bump-stopped?

TrAiLbUs1 · 02-13-07, 04:27 PM

Sway bar (need a swaybar disco) it has bump stops too-- no offense taken, that hole right now is more dug out than I have seen it in awhile. here is a pic of mine from the back first -right tire is not off ground, but shows some articulation this is Italian trap heading north

Tire dropped out

Other tire tucked up der

TrAiLbUs1 · 02-13-07, 04:40 PM

Wallverines tire stayed on the ground I think he hit this w/ a different line

Not sure what's on those trucks. But stock the FJC's have the same length shocks as a stock 80, they benefit from longer shocks just like any other solid axle. That said they flex pretty well for a stock truck.

TrAiLbUs1 · 02-14-07, 08:08 AM

Thank you sir, I haven't been stopped yet, even if the FJC's have t-rex arms!!! I'm trying to put extended bilsteins on the rear to see if I can get some mo flex.

ShottsUZJ100 · 02-14-07, 09:24 AM

OK...bumpstopped. Makes sense. And yes that hole is big now though I've never lifted a tire in it. That's why I asked.

I wonder which rear shock is the best for the FJ?

TrAiLbUs1 · 02-14-07, 09:48 AM

I've seen RTI reports for different lifts, and the best I've seen so far @ least on the rear are the bilsteins, I hope someone is able to get some more flex from the t-rex.

TrAiLbUs1 · 02-14-07, 10:06 AM

Here are the RTI reports, the SAS is the best (we knew that) but still interesting.http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forum...sion-kits.html chime in if you have any ideas of how to get more out of these vehicles (that doesn't include switching to FJ40's, 60,62's 80's) check post #28 that's what I'm looking @.

ShottsUZJ100 · 02-14-07, 10:09 AM

Damn....those figs are close to the 100-series! Stock was 563, OME is ~625 and my 100 is ~730. 705 for a bolt-in FJ kit is sweet! You gotta get on that!

TrAiLbUs1 · 02-14-07, 10:26 AM

That's the allpro system, that was the original setup i wanted, just waiting for them to figure out the bugs in the system, also the cost is wayyy up there. w/ the 35" tires I would also need to regear, and do some more mods to fit tires. Someday I'll get the money together after I do my research.

What bugs? Why so expensive? At 3" the front should only require coilovers like Hoes?

TrAiLbUs1 · 02-14-07, 11:18 AM

Why so expensive, that's cause they can, I believe they are walker evan coil overs and the front kit costs well here is the site

nice trim huh, can i get her w/ the kit? Donohoes are $1200 just for the front also and I don't know their RTI scores, good product, great reviews. as for bugs, Ive heard of some issues w/ the studs they use (allpro) on the top breaking off, if I'm paying $1200 I want it to be full proof. New products= trouble, just waiting to see what issues there are, I'm not rich so I can't experiment.
