I know, I know, there are several "show us your cruiser" threads out there but I haven't been able to find as many pics of FJ40s running tall >~32" , skinny <~10" tires as I'd like (before I buy some tires).

So post some pictures of your skinny tires on your trucks if you like. Thanks!
 
Here's my FJ40 with stock elevation lift, 33x9.5 BFG ATs.

Yes, that's been bothering me - Took care of the rears, now need to find a solution for the front.

Problem is, I don't want to lift it any more than it already is.

Oh, there was 200 lbs of bar stock in the back, which pushed her down just a bit...

largenfirm, [merely saying that makes me mildly uncomfortable] - nice truck. Any more pics of the rig?

No need for discomfort, we're among friends here :beer: what ya gonna do when a nickname from a girlfriend sticks, eh?:o

Anyway, there's an entire thread on my restoration - best pics are toward the end:

Thanks for the compliment!

She's torn down right now for an OEM PS install - almost there, just need to machine the return flange nut from the gear box.
