OME lift and 285's

[gearguywb]

Here are a couple of pics of the FJ with an OME lift (885/895 and N140S/141). The ride is much improved...hitting rough RR tracks, etc. you can really tell the difference in the travel and how it soaks up the bumps.

looks really sharp, gearguywb!

Do you have any rubbing with the 285s? I was hoping to go 295 with an OME, do you think that is possible?

What are the wheels you have on there? They look sharp!

 

[gearguywb]

Thanks! The wheels are American Racing. With 16 inch wheels the 285's will rub on the body mount on the DS. If you stay with 17 inch wheels they will clear. I trimmed back the body mount enough to not rub and then re-installed the mud flap. Works fine and you can't see the difference unless you get under the truck and know what you are looking at.

They are doing pretty well. I have some slight rash on a couple and just touched them up with a magic marker.

Where can you get the kit from?

That's a nice looking truck. Makes me want an FJ!

I bought it localy but anyone that is an OME dealer should be able to take care of you. Toytec lifts has sold several to board members.

I have the OME lift and run 295 Nitto Grapplers, Some rub of the rubber mud flap, but minor.

I like the where you placed the Land Cruiser emblems. The lift looks great, and overall the truck looks nice and tough!

 

[gearguywb]

Thanks for the compliments!

I think the lift and tires do make all the difference in the world, both performance wise and looks.

Looks great, makes the FJC look more like a trail truck than a pavement princess.

Ya...these things look great lifted. My LX was at Toyota yesterday. I seen a few FJ's with lifts. Nice.

Very nice FJ, Gearguywb. I went with the OME 885/140S in the front and 896/N142 in the rear. Very happy with it!

Nice truck, makes me feel at home, need to add warn 8000 and IPF lights

 

[sbechtold]

The WARN M8000 is there with synthetic line and delrin rollers. The IPF lights have been added since the pictures. Pretty happy with the setup so far. Although I think I'm going to get rid of the ARB and get the Demello bumper instead. The ARB is too heavy for me. The Demello is nice and compact.

I aqree with you about the ARB...I had thought about getting one and then when I saw it in person it is just too big for the FJ. I have a demello on order right now and an 8000 Warn sitting in the garage waiting for it.
