    IMG_0494.jpg 591FDFEB-F4AC-4A53-B004-A6583AA7124A.jpg Sort of new to the Bay Area. Not a Tacoma but an FJ Cruiser instead. Really hoping to get out there for some trail runs and meet n greets to get involved with some other off road enthusiasts. A couple of the lost recent photos of the rig at pismo

    I like how you left the stock wheels on it. I am a fan of Toyota alloys!

    Flareless, metaltech, and a baja utility rack. Looks perfect. I am a little biased though.

    Thanks I think...
    Besides my rear end missing for over a year now it almost is. Considering real hard about bobbing it for some extra clearance. Still a newish car and first 4x4 so I'm still a bit hesitant about serious mods

    I have an FJ that looks almost exactly like yours.

    Have you done the anytime rear elocker hack and the abs disable hack? If not, I defintely recommend them. The FJ abs ecu sucks some pretty big D, especially in the snow.

    Oh sweet I see what you're saying now. Solid white is a great color. I got the non e-locker model and later put in an ARB locker in the rear. 4hi does suck in the snow but I've found out that putting it in 4lo let's you spin tires all day in snow
