pretty nice rigs ..
Yeah I agree they should already come from the factory like that. Why oh why do they never do that? I mean of course the price would be a little higher, but it would save the consumer the time and hassle. Then again, why not ship them direct with ARB air lockers front and rear. I've never understood that either.

Great lookin' rig Kathie.... I'm jealous!
Body mounts? Trim jobs?
I know you're talking about precursors to lifting a FJC, but can someone explain?

These are right behind you front mud flaps, and were just never changed on the Prado frame, for the FJ body.

Thanks, I'll check it out.
PS. I do like the looks of your ride.

Great look, now ready for a new bumper?
where did you get them??
Kathie, those look great! I've been looking for those exact tires and can't find them. Toyo's website doesn't even show a 295/70/17 available. In fact, the Nitto Terra Grapplers are the only tires I can find in the 295 size. Where did you purchase them, if you don't mind me asking? I'm ready to pull the trigger on a set if I can find them . Very nice looking rig.

What set up did you go with for the front ? I'm picking up the Toytec custom rear springs with the OME shocks front and rear from a buddy who has to sell his fj. He has spacers for the front but i want to run springs instead , i want to keep some of the stock forward rack . Any suggestions
I have the same lift as Kathie. We both have OME 884 coils w/stock struts and Toytec top plate spacer. I would think just leaving out the top plate spacer would work for you.
Thats what i was thinking , thanks Silver.

Looks great. I likey a lifted FJC. 
Got a question for those of you running the 295s or the 285s. How much of a hit did you take on fuel economy?
I'm getting ready to order my lift from Toytec and I was thinking of going with 285s after the lift.
Thanks for yer input.

Don't know the exact number....but not much. You need to also figure in the difference in tire size that the odometer would be off. The lift had the biggest negative impact on the mileage. Oh well.
I'm running 285/75r16 Dick Cepek FC-11's with a 1/2 inch spacer up front. My gas milege is 19 around town and i'm getting 20 to 21 miles to the gallon on the highway. Alot of it will depend on what kind of tire you go with ( at or mud and D or E rated ) and how much extra weight you have added to the fj. My speedometer is dead on and the odometer is off 1 mile per every hundred miles .I'm installing my lift this weekend so will see if that changes anything , i hope not .
