    yeah was the same for my 4-banger. Felt bad for the old gal but she rev'd right up and kept on fighting. Things are crazy how they just keep going

    haha great minds think alike. Yeah I'm hoping the 255s wont hurt the fuel economy compared to the 285s

    Took a break from cooking dinner for the better half (trust me, she is the better half, I am a lucky man!) and ran out in the rain to snap a shot or two in the rain.

    Awesome. Debating staying the same size (275/70/17) and same tire (ko2) or going up a to 255s and the st Maxx when I need new meats later this year. 275 is almost like a perfect size for the amount I drive as it's only a few tenths shorter than a 285, but much skinnier and doesn't weigh terribly much. On the other hand 255s are even lighter than my 275s, but taller. Plus I'd need a new spare.


    Love the hybrid bumper too. I want either a hybrid or the metal tech tube for my FJ. Demello hybrid starts at like $1500 though.....

    I love the skinny tires, but the wider ones look awesome on FJs IMHO. Do you find the weight of tire makes much of a difference with the FJ. Its kind of a light truck with a powerful V6, I am thinking that weight might not matter.

    I almost went with the Demello...just couldn't fork out the extra 500! Its nice though

    I too am totally into the tall narrow tires. I'd like to put the 235/85/16 on my rims, but I bought my truck used with 8" wide aftermarket. I wouldn't be able to fit 235/85/16 on a 8" rim right?

    I know the manufacturer say 7.5 is the widest suggested. Then again, I have seen guy with dualies do it. I don't know for sure. Could always go 255 lol

    I don't know that weight makes that much of a difference. It didn't get good gas mileage before I lifted it and ran bigger tires, and it gets worse now. Usually around 17-18mpg, so not terrible but not great considering I drive 30-50k miles a year not great either:rofl:

    Wider tires so look great of the FJ though, I'll agree there.
