definetly nice job sahara Still looks a bit bubbly in the middle though, is it just dirt from your shoes?

Ya it's mud I was driving it back into my garage and my feet were muddy.

There is also one little spot in the middle that I missed and the primer is still showing i need to touch it up.

i got mine for about 10 bucks.. =D

i really dont have time to custom up something for my jeep.. between work and my parents makin me do things for my grandparents.. i barely find enough time to install the things i buy for my jeep =/

there were three FJ's and all three of them did very well
up until the last obstacle only the jeeps were able to play there the Toyota's were a little intimidated maybe next time

the last obstacle (or the last chance to play)



the first obsticale

Cool, thanks for the info. I suspect we'll be seeing many more of those on the trails very soon.

Something suprizing to me is i never see tuned FJs on trails. They all look stock.

the ones that came out where lifted on 33's with sliders
there biggest complaint was that they haven't put more skid plating under neath

Well they're still pretty new. I'm sure there isn't a whole lot of aftermarket support for them yet.

they will get it
I tought it was cool to see them on the trail trying some of the harder stuff

There is plenty of aftermarket for them, you just have to search.

Define "plenty".

Meaning that there is a lot of stuff out there for them. Most of it just isn't as mainstream as say, parts for Jeep. I'm sure if you look at a Toyota forum you'll find a lot more support than what you think.

I've looked.

As compared to the aftermarket support for most other manufacturers there is still very little available. Especially when you're looking for suspensions, skid plates and drive train components.

Eh, we're all Jeep blind



being oblivious to anything 4x4 other than Jeeps

we were on the trails this past weekend and saw a group of the FJs.....they looked stock (drivers & vehicles)

I hear the FJs performs so great off-road. Many say they are better than Wranglers (TJs in particular). What makes them better?

thats true but if you want toyota parts they are there
but its harder to build a newer toyota into a rock krawler then it is to build a jeep

comfort I dont know
I can tell you this some of the stuff that the jeeps were doing the FJ guys and the toyota guys were just in awww
they couldnt beleive the jeeps would climb some of it

Especially with tons of wires and new electronics and sensors and whatever we can think of everywhere. It's so nice when you can see the ground when looking down through the hood instead of wires and bottles and hoses and more wires lol

23,000 for an fj or 18,000 for a TJ plus it cost me 1100.00 for my lift and tires. Oh and I can take my top off.

FJs are actually pretty nice. "Better" is open for interpretitation, but they are refering to ride comfort, the longer/wider stance giving it a traction advantage, and the electonic 4x4 center locking diff system (Wait, did they take that fromt he 4runner and put it in the FJ, or is the FJ a non-electronic 4x4?)

Ill Keep my Rubi Toyotas are nice though, we own a Solara, and I wouldn't mind having the older (small) Tacoma 4x4s with the 31" tire package for my GF.

I ordered my "OBA" setup, and I ordered my MTR so I can get rid of these low tread, NOISEY MTRs

Getting rear pads today or tommorrow too. She should be all ready to go to WV come this weekend

thought you were going to go next weekend

Ya I bet a toyota can't flex as much because it has ifs in the front and a solid axle in the rear.

got it all inspected, 2 year tags, and insurance yesterday. drove on the road for a LONG time last night! oh and over the weekend, while i was at work, my dad installed my new exhuast manifold (the old one had a big crack in it that we needed to fix to pass inspection). so she's runnin like a champ right now.

once the sound pods come in, ill be putting my new speakers in those, and installing those, then the front dash speakers, and drilling the holes needed to run cable under the car for the amp and stuff, but not installing because i want to get it rhino lined, so i'd have to take it out anyway...

got all the fluids changed and put a new cold air intake on yesterday and tomorow i am getting my broken windshield fixed and a tune up done

Doing a tranny service on her today =D

Aunt died last weekend, and dads boss wouldnt let him off, so I am going like the 31st to the 2nd or something, IF I FEEL GOOD. Had a rough week so far Well see. Atleast the dealer fixed the leaks and whatnot, and hopefully I will have those nasty cupped tires off there before sat just incase

We need to see a picture, of your Jeep!!!!
