very doable.
You will notice it but I agree, "very doable". I don't regret doing it at all.
FJ or FZJ?
FZJ80 with 35's and stock gears are everywhere and close to a perfect set up IMO
FJ80 with 35's and stock gears would be a bigger challenge. Not that it wont work just underpowered.

Then a FZJ80
Been running 35's for sometime. Works fine.
I just did this and it's totally doable, I even think 4.88s would be a bit much. Those running 5.29s with 315s is crazy.
I live in Illinois which is flat!
I tow 2 quads and didn't even feel em.

Love the look of the 35's on the 80 but feel like I must go 33's if I'm on stock gearing towing our camper in the Sierras.

no, an fj80........can't tell if you were being sarcastic hahaThen a FZJ80
I think you meant 3F-E (1991-92) or 1FZ-FE (93-97).

@b16 In the Sierra or Rockies above 8000' to 12000', I had a hard time on stock gearing and 33s.
For example, loaded with my wife, two 60# dogs, plus all of our gear, the steeper eastbound Vail pass was only 24 mph, holding 2nd gear. The Sierra is only slightly lower.
Living and spending so much time at altitude was my motivator for a supercharger

oh yep 3fe
I guess it depends where you live. I ran 35" MTRs for about 2 years on stock gears. You certainly will know it. 4.88s would be the way to go.

IMHO, 4.88 gears on 315's on a '96 (1FZ-FE) with a supercharger is a sweet spot.
Looks like I need to save up for a supercharger then... lol@b16 In the Sierra or Rockies above 8000' to 12000', I had a hard time on stock gearing and 33s.

35s with 4" lift and armored with stock gears. Totally doable and I can blast up mountain grades.

In 2nd at 5k yes, yes you can
Nothing better than getting to the top at speed without stopping to cool off or to pour in more meth.
