Thanks for the update, I think we have slightly upgraded LBJ on the 2005's. Is that correct?
Either way, I have a 188k on mine, and its getting done when I get the lift this month.
Slap that bad boy on there! Then run it for a week, Then decide. That's what I did. Mine looks pretty subtle (which i like) with the colors I had after it was applied.
Yours might too. btw, I will be adding off road parts as well. Good luck either way. :)
After owning an FJ80 for a few years a long time ago and last year an FJ Cruiser, it was time to convert and so in December of last year. The search began.
After reading thanks to the wealth of information from everyone on this forum. I had settled on what was going to be best for me, and the...
I’m 40 minutes from Mt. Hood there is a lot of trails under the summit at 11,245 feet. I have wheeled the majority of them in my long lifetime. I have had a few LJ Jeeps and a few other rigs as well, my brother still has his LJ and Samurai. Totally understand the weight thing, coming from a...
Thanks for the input guys. After looking at my rig in depth, it has a basic 3” Revtek lift. I’m getting some 285/70-17 Bfg ko2’s. C load ratings as well. And I will get chains for the rear as well. But I will keep those 265 studded Duratracs for now. I’ll get pics up Saturday
Ok, I'm back but with a different vehicle that I just purchased. It's an 07' FJ Cruiser with the off road package and HD winch and bumper combo.. It currently has a spacer lift in front for leveling and it has the 265/70-17 studded Duratracs on it. Yes, it also has the rear diff lock and A-Trac...
For me, 3FE with 164,000 mi.
I commute 17 miles one way, 95% freeway.
I use the Chevron 15w-40. Oil change intervals
should vary depending on your driving conditions period.
For my use, changes are in the 5-6k max range. If I hit the trail or do heavy towing long distance, different story...
Solid axles...
Still better... Why ? less parts to break or wear out.
This is where reliability on the trail comes in too.
From a basic geometric idea though, the IF&RS setups should or could be a better set up to wheel with if properly set up for it.
Including more ground clearance at the...
andre,
I did try but the 31x10.50's weren't enough... I made it all the way out of the garage before it got to dicey...!
Guys & Gals, I might be there if i get back soon enough from Sutherlin, OR. Any last minute chages just let me know too.
Later..
I'd like to go but this weather here temporarily detained the LC to the house as the snow drift's were hood high out here...
So I pulled out the "old standby" made it to work today late and helped six different rigs get unstuck on the way there.
Then on the way home I pulled a 4wd state police...
squeezer,
Welcome back home, :cheers:
I also live just outside of Portland,Or...
All of us need to hook up some time with our 80's series cruisers, swap stories and check out each others rigs... it would be a nice photo opportunity with our rigs all together too....
Shortbus,
Maybe since you...
