Re: 4x4 trip

What mods if any do you have done to your FJ ?

Trying to order
Road Armor with titan guard, Warn/All pro Rear bumper, Moto Metal shoes, 3" lift

Living north of the border is proving to be tough to get the mods that I want for my Toy(ota).

Re: 4x4 trip

Re: 4x4 trip

they did really well on the trail.. haven't had them in deep mud yet but the mud we did find was no problem. They do have a little bit of a hum on the highway but handle fine. I was really impressed with how good they were in the snow and on ice.

Re: 4x4 trip

i'm thinking about getting the coopers too. not sure if though, i do a lot of highway driving but i'm willing to give and take a little. how are the 285 i thought about just getting the 265 and ride those untill there no good then get a lift and 285 coopers. do you think i would should just get the lift and then the 285?? let me know. i have been trying to decide for like three or four months now? let me know that would be great. by the way the pictures are great. the snow looks fun but i'm ready for spring!!! thanks again

Re: 4x4 trip

I've got 31" Cooper ST's... (not the STT's) and I've been impressed with them too. They aren't as agressive but I was worried about winter traction.
Winter was good (as low as -48 with the wind), still plenty of traction.
I got stuck once in the mud... but I stumbled upon some muskeg and sank to my axle... nothing the tires could do for me there.

Good luck with whatever you decide on...
