    Lift and tire/wheel decision (kinda long sorry)

    Good call on thinking about other tires. Definitly a good way to save some coin on the total project. If I'm planing on getting a front bumper and winch later down the line, would I be better off with the Coilovers so I could have the ride nice for the stock bumper... and then change it down...

    Lift and tire/wheel decision (kinda long sorry)

    Hey all, after getting a nice promotion at work, and with a hefty tax rebate coming my way I've decided it's time to lift the FJ. I'm thinking of shelling out about $2k but I'm in need of some opinions. I've narrowed it down my modding to the following. 1. Need new tires... looking at...

    New FJ owner saying Hi

    Well I've been lurking around this forum for a few years (mostly in the 80 series tech) and now that I'm the proud owner of an FJC I figured it was about time to introduce my self. I'm a total car nut and as I plan to keep the FJ for a while, it will become the host for a slew of mods. Also if...

    CA issues with 6" lift :hillbilly:

    Sucks to hear that man, CHP can be a major pain. Here's a copy of the law for everyone to have a look at, not sure if there is any wiggle room but the law is always open for interpretation. Good luck Frame and Floor Height 24008.5. (a) No person shall operate any motor vehicle with a frame...

    Ideas for other FAQ Threads

    Yea I think a lift FAQ would be great, I've been looking through pages after pages trying to gather all the info on lift and tire size. Having it all in one place would be amazing. Being able to know what it takes to run 35" tires or 37" or 33" or what ever, without having to find some way to...

    If you've pinged, how did you get rid of it?

    How long has it been pinging? Ping occures when part of the Air/fuel mix in the cylinder ingites before the rest does. This happens because when you increase the pressure of the mixture you also are increasing the tempature. So if you compress the mixture too much you will autoignite the...

    '93 bogs on incline

    That's my thoughts too. All the causes that I can think of aren't specific to bog down on incline. If it was flat ground too, then some of the ideas we've come up with might be more valid. We know that what ever the cause is, it changes with the angle of the car. After thinking a little...

    '93 bogs on incline

    If it only does this on an incline, then I doubt it would be the sparkplugs, although they should be checked none the less. My money's on a clogged fuel injector or maybe the crack that people had mentioned earlier. And it only does this on an incline? On flat ground runs fine? No smell, no...

    Converting over

    Yea I'm definitly going to wait till I get the rig before I finalize my choices. I'm still learning alot about cruisers so i'll figure out what to spend my money on soon. The tires are far from my final choice, i might even have two sets of tires, one for street, one for offroad. The lift and...

    I don't really have a defined direction I would like to go, but I do know that I want it to be a great offroad performer and still be a reliable daily driver. I plan to go Slee 6" lift, sliders, ARB front bumper, Slee rear Bumper, skid plates, cdl switch, LineX'd tub. I don't mind giving up...

    I realize that in terms on mods how much money that costs is up to me. What I want to know is what are the basic repairs that might need to be done to a LC to bring it up to daily driver status. Lets say I get a 97 LC with 148K on it. The guy took average care of it, didn't drive it to the...

    Hello all. I'm on the final strech of finishing my restoration on a 74super beetle an I've been looking at ideas for my next project. For a long while I was thinking about another car, but then decided it would be nice to do something with offroad abilties, just to change things up...
