Pics of my modded black FJ (lift.sliders,wheels,tires,tint...)

[myke]

Just broke 500 miles. Going to wait till at least to a 1000 till I get it dirty.

Looks great, but more info please.

Tires, sliderz, lift, what brands?

I am looking into the Cooper Discoverer STT tires.

Like the painted wheels, thought about that myself. I also considered doing just the opposite, leaving the rim silver and painting the spokes black, maybe even powder coating them. Nice.

can i ask you exactly how you painted your rims? what kind of paint/technique was used?

Hope you prepped those wheels real well - or they're gonna chip and look like crap real soon!

[SnoutDog]

must get the FJ in the dirt while the paper plates are still on. I believe you will find that in the owners manual (don't look too hard... just take my word for it ;-)

Truxx.

I like it, rides just like stock.

And better yet, I can see traffic lights now at the stop line.

Yikes, be carefull with the truxx lift off road. It is a TOP load spacer lift and will seriously over-extend the CV joints, ball joints and everything else when you get any articulation going in the front end.

Let us know how it does when you get a front wheel hanging, and crank the steering to lock. I wanna know if the over-extending is too much for the FJs front end, or if it can handle it. (let us know if you pop a CV joint the first time you hang a front wheel and crank the steering)

This is the bad news about a top load spacer, (vs a preload spacer like the revtek).

Nice looking rig.
