4x4 / Off-Road TechThis section contains all discussion related to taking the FJ Cruiser in Off-Road situations, 4x4 applications and any armor modifications.
I realize there are more than just these to choose from, but I don't want any that flex, or have to be greased, etc. I just want tougher than stock/maintenance free. So, I've narrowed it to two, Man-a-Fre, and the All-Pro Ultimates.
They are normally only a $10 dollar difference, but right now the All-Pros are on sale and would be $54 less. It's not about the money though, as I'm sure they're both worth it.

I bought the all-pro, they ride well and no squeaks or adjustments they just bolt on. I also bought the LCA skids.
So far I hit the driver side with no damage, just a few scraps.
I like the man-a-fre's. Simple and beefy. I am considering getting them. They are just not a top priority for the type of trails we ride down here. Rocks will bend the stock ones easy. It's like pushing in the middle of a straw.
It's a toss up when talking about those two, both are great and are in no way skimping for the $.

I'm looking,too. The only advatage I see with the all pros besides price is that they use factory bushings. The poly bushings MAF use can squeek pretty bad, and are usually stiffer. Great in a sports car when you need super tight and exact handling, but the stockers probably offer more flex.

I went with the AllPro because I know I would forget to grease the others. They have been on for quite awhile now and I haven't had any problems with them at all.

Now that's where money comes into play! NO WAY am I payin that much. Besides the fact that they have a joint in them, and they're not maintenance free. I want bolt-on, forget about, beefy parts.

Yeah I was thinking All Pro until those Icons showed up. I've got to make a decision as well, we've got a lot of runs this summer.
