4x4 / Off-Road TechThis section contains all discussion related to taking the FJ Cruiser in Off-Road situations, 4x4 applications and any armor modifications.
Opinions are like (donkeyholes), everybody has one, so who cares what I think...........
I am sorry, I just don't like it - not a bit! I don't like seeing all that space in the fender well - looks choppy and unfinished. Maybe I am too anal, maybe I am alone in this opinion, maybe something to fill the "voids" underneath would soothe my anal sole.
As long as you like it, bravo. I just like seeing people play with these rigs and trying new things. Good work.

Not a fan but at lest you did it for the right reason, to give your self tire clearance and not to "lift" the FJ.
Are you sticking with the tire size you have now?

You can buy rubber sheeting which can cover the void, but it doesnt really bother me.

I'm havent had my rear sway bar on for a few months now so body sway is something i've learnt to deal with and dont really notice any more, but i dont think there is.
Very intresting indeed! I have a 6" lift now, run 35"s with no rub at full compression. With the super swamper 37"s I'm hitting. This may do the trick for me!!!
Thanks for posting your experience with this mod and all the photos! Nice Job!!!

Do you think that this will increase the chances of inner fender body bulges/rips? I'm thinking that because the body is now "floating" higher above the frame it is allowing more flex of the body?
Future Mods: TC UCAs, (2) more 7" Kragen HIDs, Hi-Lift Jack, winch.
