Hi to All Here !!! :D

I was refered here by ACE back from the June 11 Trail Ride at Raush Creek, PA... Had an Awesome Time in the mountains...

That was my first time for Rocks I must say... I am 40, and have Wheeled all my life in NJ... But, The mountains have an all NEW FEEL... I Luv IT...

So I Had to Get my FJC up to the game... It's up with an All-Pro 3" and 34" TSL LTB's...

I had bought a 88' 4Runner new and had it on 33's which I ran along with a 81'Ford F-150 on 38's till 96' when I sold both so I could buy a new home... I Built a 87' F-250 on 38's TSL SX's with Glass panels around 98'... Then sold it due to NJ's stricter' Off-Roading Laws... I drove an 01' Dodge Off-Road Pkg. Sport Model till May when I got my FJC...

Anyway... Leroy...

LOL... Thanks Fourwd1... That is all I have been hearing
about, well after hearing that the wheel weights needed to
be painted... I wanted Black or Chrome Lugs.. But i could
not find a complete set anywhere... except for these from
autozone...

And Hecull, It went great on the stock tires at Rausch
Creek in june... and now I have the height and the treads...
it should be awsome...

Thanks Again... Leroy...

Thats a really good looking FJC, and the Runner is great too. Do your tires rub alot on your bumper and body mount? My 285's rub all of the time on my 05 Taco.

Thanks 05T'... The Runner was great, 300k+ on it and it still looked the
same when I sold it for 8k... I had put a cam in and the tri-wye-header,
cherry bomb muffler, and custom bent pipes...

I used to run that thing hard, Preruns and such... I had to re-work every
body mount due to them cracking from the jumps... But I kept it like new
condition...

On the FJC, I have No Rubbing at All... it comes Close to the body mount
at the back of the front wheel, but never makes contact... The reason
they clear is that I am running the stock steels, if I had a custom rim with
more of an offset, it would hit the mount...

Yea, I do have 3 5/8 backspacing rims. I wouldnt of been able to fit larger tires with the stock rims though, they would bub on the upper control arm.
