Just got a fj80

[tigertowncruiser]

oh and you think i would make it there fine with 35's and no lift? and a sawzall haha

 

[GXO]

swaybars with that lift and no drop brackets = broken links.

yes, you could make it to McNabb with 35s on a stock lift with no problem.

 

[tigertowncruiser]

oh i found out those mud terrains will run me right at $700, i can get dunlop mud rovers for right at 500, but i found some used bf mud terrains for $550obo with 90% tread so i am going to check those out maybe tommorrow

 

[tigertowncruiser]

if i got the 35's but didn't have a lift in time for tellico, would i be able to wheel iit you think?

 

[ClemsonCruiser]

you could wheel it no problem....... just would have some rubbing in the wheel wells. It is not the ideal set-up but it would work

I ran 34" TSL swampers on my 40 with stock sagging for a few trips; no flex but it got the job done

if i got the 35's but didn't have a lift in time for tellico, would i be able to wheel iit you think?

 

[tigertowncruiser]

i might jsut do that then, b/c i'm not sure i will have the lift by then. i could go with 33's and be fine but i don't want to do that when i know i will wan tthe lift and 35's

 

[tigertowncruiser]

just how rough are these tellico trails? would a stock cruiser make it or is this moab? haha , only offroading i have done is some muddin in a field lol

 

[ClemsonCruiser]

Tellico goes from mild to wild......... we will have really two different runs; a stock/slightly modified and then a hardcore run. you would want the stock run

Your stock 80 will do the easier trails with out issue...... but if you have only played around in a field with mud, this will be a whole new experience and it can be challenging the first time around. That said nothing you can't handle as there will be many experienced offroaders with you on the rides to offer spotting and advice whenever you may need it.

I remember my first time in my cruiser at Tellico...... I was a little nervous as I set out on to the trails, but soon enough you learn your vehicle; what it can and can't do. you'll get that hang of it quickly......... and you will be addicted before you know it

I would recommend sliders if you don't have a lift or tires.

 

[alkaline747trio]

You can run my 33x12.50 ATs while there as long as you help me change them out for my 38s...and promise to replace it if your rip it up good.

 

[tigertowncruiser]

well i am going to probably pick up some 35's tommorow, but probably won't have a lift before telico . If i do go i will probably take you up on that as i don't think i can wheel the 35's with no lift those at's would be better than the no names that are on it.

 

[alkaline747trio]

35's will work w/o lift. Just learn to get over a little rubbing.

 

[tigertowncruiser]

been reading some and it makes sense that 35's stuffed with no lift is like 35's stuffed with a lift, so you think some bumpstops would help me alot? If so what size and where to order?

 

[alkaline747trio]

2" Fronts from Slee Offroad...rears from Slee or custom made (2" square tubing + longer bolts)

 

[tigertowncruiser]

after looking at the bumpstops, It seems real easy to make a bracket that will extend them. I have some newb welding skills i'll put to the test Picked up the 35's today, and they are way bigger than i thought ! Getting them on tommorrow and i'll have some pics then
