    I need a place to get the FJ, dirty around New Orleans. Hopefully trails. I can get muddy anywhere around here. Looking for something different. Suggestions?

    the second picture I posted is of them disconnected and the suspension drooped. I see no issues do you?

    with it compressed it will straighten out and cause no issues......

    Looks good man! I keep going back and forth on getting pizza cutters. What are you using as your Hi-Lift mount?

    Looks like I am leaning towards getting full skids for my first mod. Then possibly getting 255/85/16 KM2's next. Gonna wait on the lift for a little bit because I can't decide what I want.

    Yeah that's what I'm thinking. That way I can fit a 33" M/T without having to lift it yet.

    EDIT: Well after further research, I can fit a 285 with some trimming. So, should I go with 255" KM2's or 285" MTZ's?

    IMO. Pizza cutters are the way to go with no lift. You do not have to do any trimming and you still have good on road performance and awesome off road performance. 255s are taller than the 285s, lighter and have less rolling resistance so you get better gas millage. So again IMO unless you are off roading in snow I would get the pizza cutters.

    I am also a little biased ahaha. But my next tires will be the mickey thompson baja mtz in the 35x11.5 so still a little pizza cutterish:cool:
