    Safe-Line Clamp

    I'm not at the coast - but I'll reach out to some Marine guys around here and see what they can do. I had a guy rebuild the top end of my O/B motor for my skiff, maybe he can help. Thanks, FFN

    Safe-Line Clamp

    anyone ever used one of these before? I want to shorten my wire rope and I don't have a crimper. Item # AC-1037Y, Safe-Line Clamps On Esmet, Inc. I don't like the idea of the 2 screw down clamps. anyone have a better suggestion?

    Ordered new bumper and winch.... do I need stiffer suspension?

    Ordered new bumper and winch.... do I need stiffer suspension?

    So, I'd rather invest in the Icon Coil over than cheap out and be pissed. What set up exactly? Can you paste a link? How hard is the instal?

    Ordered new bumper and winch.... do I need stiffer suspension?

    Just ordered an M1 bumper and 10k lb Smitty winch - which will be here Monday. I plan to put rails on it and perhaps a rack or basket of some type. My question: Do I need to upgrade coils, etc due to weight?? Like just adding the Icon coils over the factory shocks to get the added support...

    Charlotte Area Meeting - Queen City Q - 10/22/16

    Yup - She's been breaking my heart recently. My dad bought it new and she's been dependable up until about 2 years ago and now stuck in 4 wheel and I have what should be a simple electrical issue fix/but hasn't. Hey - I just joined the club through the website. Is there a hazing process?

    I met you guys a year or 2 ago at Wing King. My FJ40 is stuck in 4 wheel drive and I'm battling an electrical issue. BUT, I picked up an 07' FJ Cruiser last week. (Needs tires, and to either paint the wheels or get new ones, off road bumper/winch, etc). I'd like to stop by - I promise not...

    Beta on off-road camp spots

    I'm in the Charlotte area (just across the line in SC). But I can be in Asheville, Boone, etc in a couple hours. I've car camped in Wilson Creek, but I did that in my Subie - looking for something a little more interesting than just forest roads.

    Beta on off-road camp spots

    I love backpacking to get away from crowds, but I just picked up a 07' FJ Cruiser last week and I would really like to find some 4x4 spots to camp in the NC mountains. Plus, I have some lazy friends too that would be more apt to truck camp. Where is a good place to get intel on good spots in...

    New Starter - turns over and dies!

    I bought it from cruiserparts.net and I thought "WOW- that seems like a lot for that little part". I hunted high and low and no one carried one specifically for an FJ40. I thought this should have been a $9 part. Dumb me. Anyway - this part was molten red after I started the vehicle. I...
