Re: Need a little advice rigging up an fj

My opinion only - others will certainly differ.

Quote:
Farmerzuk previously said: View Post
I am looking at purchacing a fj and I would like to rig it up for some serious off roading.
Is the 6 inch lift better than the 3 inch?
6" raises your center of gravity without raising your clearance.

Quote:
What manufacturer should a person go with?
Suspension? King if price is no object.

Quote:
Can a person run stock tires with the 6 inch? I would like to utilize the factory rims for winter use.
Why do you want to lift your rig 6 inches - looks only? Yeah, you can run OEM tires with it.

Quote:
Can a person use 31 or 33 with the 6 inch?
With a 3" lift or a 6" lift.

I am looking at installing an ARB front locker will it work with the factory rear locker? or should I install a rear ARB locker?
Did your FJ come with a rear locker? if so, keep it. The ARB air locker (front locker) will work with any combination of equipment, except that when the air locker is engaged on the front end, you loose A-TRAC

Quote:
I am also going to install a winch bumper and winch and fender flares. It should be an impresive rig when I am done I think my biggest hang up right now is the lift kit they look so much better with the 6 inch lift
looking forward to all the input.
Going for appearance is one thing. Going for functionality is another. You need to decide which is more important before you begin. Why do you want fender flares? They will tend to retain mud. Putting on wider fenders to allow for longer travel with wider tires is another issue entirely.
