@rc51kid I have the Baja Boss A/T tires on my 2011 FJ and I really like them so far, didn't get to drive them much in the winter but what little I did they were awesome. I've been in some pretty gnarly stuff off-road this summer and at 18 psi they bite super hard, the side lugs really dig in...
I personally just installed the Aluma 2.5 series but have not taking The FJ off-road to test them out, but I can tell you the build quality is very impressive and the attention to detail is second to none. I also like these because they are rebuildable. I'll get you an update in a few months...
Looks like I'm headed down a rabbit hole myself looking for new tires thanks to this thread :-)
Has anybody in the group tried these or heard anything good or bad about them?

I personally don't but my son in law had them on his 2dr Jeep and really liked them and did well with them. Looking at the tread I would say that there are better tires suited for snowy (hard pack) road conditions, but personally I would deal with that for the limited amount of time I spend on...
Take a look at these and research reviews and forums online, I think they will do everything that you want them to do quite well, and not noisy on the pavement this is what I will be going with when my Goodyear Duratrax bite the dust here shortly...
I change my rear differential fluid yearly as it easily sees the most abuse and it's cheap insurance. Seeing the condition of the fluid can also head off major failures.
