    I was just looking up FJ80s in the snow, seems like they do really well with chains and a locker, without the chains... at least on an incline, they're just as weird as any other vehicle with loose footing

    Do you have to go in a lower gear in the cruisers?

    What do you mean? They're all autos and 1st gear is a granny gear, super low speed but really high torque, on dry land driving around town the cruiser gets to maybe 5mph before shifting to 2nd gear. It's just for starting and is a freaking godsend when pulling a trailer. 2nd gear and 3rd gear with the 1FZ's torque is gonna be where you want to be in snow so you can get some good wheel speed going. I suppose you could snow wheel in low range but I dunno why you would, the cruiser has tons of power in high for this kind of stuff.

    Oh no, for snow I wouldn't, shouldn't have to with an LC, more than enough torque to get everything moving in high range on snow.

    Nice.

    I’ve gotten 2 types of STD’s from touching that used seat cushion packaging material.

    The mold from the seat cushions even festered to the metal itself.

    No, this time I’m ordering the correct sized U-Bolts so cutting is unnecessary.

    Was super cheap to ship. $40 from Sacramento to the San Francisco Suburbs.
