    i know i am prewired for the sensors but was wondering if it was just a matter of installing the sensors and buying the switch

    this one is at black bear, I guess that drop on his left side is like 1000 feet. Just thought I'd share these.

    Hey guys. Not new to the forum but new to the FJ. Where is a good source of info for it? I am planning on getting some tire for it soon but I can't find much info over at the FJ cruiser forums. It's pretty dead.

    Blue Rooms? I am planning on an AT tire and the occasional mud / trail. Not alot of rocks around here. I don't think I want to do a lift anytime soon. If I can fit 33's stock I probably will so if I get a lift later I will already have the big tire. I need to get under the truck and figure out the rear suspension. The front is pretty much like the tacoma but I just glanced at a diagram of the rear and it looks a little more complicated.

    If I ever go to an AT tire, I will probably grab the tires Jack has. Kelly Safari TSR. it's a really aggressive/affordable AT tire.

    i love my good year wranglers, there lighter soft tire and do amazing in rain snow and mud.
    i dont think you can fit a 33 without trimming.
    the front suspension is identical to the tacomas, infact you can swap coils and uca from your modded taco to the fj (ask jonny boy about that)
    rear is super easy, shock mounts from frame to axle and the coils swap out easily after you unbolt the track bars and sway bars to allow the axle to drop down to slide out the spring :cool:

    what about the tread rights everyones running?
