Re: Downey Lift Installed Today...

FJrod, really cool video and soundtrack. Question: is that the same wheel/tire combo you had on before the lift? Was there ever any rubbing at stock level? What is the brand of the wheels/offset of the wheels? I really like your ride. I ask because my FJ still fits in the garage, but I'd like to go with a larger wheel/tire combo without the lift.

That's a really kick-ass garage BTW.

Re: Downey Lift Installed Today...

This happened yesterday while on the Big Brothers Big Sisters run here in Vegas. This was a day of stock friendly trails & failed on the way out via a dirt road. I did not abuse it or do anything that should of caused this kind of damage.

Re: Downey Lift Installed Today...

FJrod very nice vids! I like the way you take the Fj thru the center of the mud when the others don't seem to be going there. Truck looks Great!
