Kathie, Which lift did you go with. Are those Toyo M/T's? Thanks, Jim

That is the ToyTec lift. It is the one with their custom springs and n71e shocks. Yep, Toyo's. 295/70-17. I don't have the spare on the back yet, but it does fit, and the window still opens.

Wow, I didn't notice the picture was like that until you asked.

Nice! Would the 295s have fit if you hadn't done some trimming?

I'm not sure, as the body mounts were done about 3 months ago. There is a lot of room though.

Kathie, looks great! Where are the black wheels? Lifted mine Friday with the OME kit....great ride improvement. Are you heading to Moab again to try it out :)

I still have them. They still have the 285 A/t's on them.
 
Wow those 295 Toyos look good....... I may just look at them myself!

Good going............ :D
 
I've been wondering - how have the larger diameter tires affected the 'performance' and more importantly the speedo/odo? And has anybody looked at changing out the rings in the diff's to get the mechanical advantage back?

or is any of that work needed?
 
there is plenty of power in the FJ to accomidate the larger tires. As far as changing out the speedo...haven't worried about it enough, rough guess is that they are less than 5% off.

I'll ask just one more question then I'll go back into the woodwork - do you know the acceptable error margin for the speedo/odo? In terms of legal issues like resale (accuracy of mileage) and arguing about how fast/slow you were going (like passing through a school zone)?

And sorry for diverting the thread for a bit....

You're probably (yes, this IS a guess-temate) only going to be off 1-2 mph with the 295 tires. That is a 33" tire, and the stock tires are 32".

School zones... just stay 5 mph under and you should be fine :D
 
If you look in product reviews, you can find a "yellow box" speedo correction unit for oversize tires. This will correct the speedo.
Sleeoffroad.com sells a unit also.

Actually, 285's are 33", and the 295's are 34". Size does matter ;)

I think the computer calculated 33.34" or so............. The 285's were calculating out to just less than 33...... 32. something tall.
