THE Fj Cruiser.

[FJAggie07]

Per request I am throwing up some specs on my wonderful ride I am so proud of.
I have a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser, Black with the White top. Her name is Lucille (After BB King's Black and White Gibson Guitar).
Some Stock Specs:
4.0L V6 with about 239 HP and 279 ft-lb torque
5 speed AT
4x4 with Rear Locking differential (electronic)
Solid Rear with IFS up front

Modifications To Date:
-A-Trac (Kinda like Limited Slip)
-Crossed some wires in the computer to make the A-trac work in the front while the rear is locked down.
-285 70/17 BFG AT's
-3" Toytec lift with OME front springs and a half in spacer to kill the rake, Toytec "custom" springs in back with procomp shocks.
-Added a 12V plug to the center consule
-Running boards just because they were free
-Most important Mod: Hacked the computer to disable an annoying seat belt chime!

This is all I can think of off the top of my head, but here is Lucille in the making:
Here is the Day after I brought her home:

Here is her first time swimming:

Here is the limitations of the piece of sh!t 265 bridgestones that came on it...



Here she is after I installed the BFG's:

And here she is after I put her facelift on her:

And One Day down the road...
-TRD SuperCharger

I can't think of the right words to describe this - lets try this: buy a beater, keep that on the street? I guess if you have the money it's fine with me

Ah i wish my friend I wish. I dont have the money for both right now. Soooo I am going to wheel this and try to keep it in as best shape as i can... I already got some love marks from this weekend but thanks to a high speed buffer this afternoon they are almost invisible.

amaxing how lift improves he look of that truck. kinda like a new jeep.

also i bet fab fours makes bumpers for that truck now

[AggieTJ2007]

don't take it off-road, ill let you drive my jeep, keep that thing pretty, No one wants to make payments on a trail rig. Ask me how I know

they do and they are selling pretty good - I talked to RJ yesterday.
go to www.fabfours.com or see them on the Ultimate Adventure FJC on the Petersons website: http://www.4wheeloffroad.com/2006ultimateadventure/

That's pretty tough looking. I wouldn't beat on it too hard. The money you have to put back into it would buy a starter Sammy.

I like the fab fours, but it isn't my favorite. The bumpers right now that I am trying to decide from are as follows, Ya'll tell me what you think (of course all of these in black to match my FJ):
All-Pro

ARB Bull Bar

Bent-Up

Demello Off Road

Expedition One

FAB FOUR

Landcruiser NW

Warn

My Own design (solidworks design, photochopped kinda rough idea, if somebody has a welder down here this could become a TAMOR project )


I am leaning towards the All-Pro, Demello, or Landcruiser NW. What do ya'll like?
And I am going to wheel this bad boy, it is too capable not too, I just have to know my limits and am not going to do any body damage too it or take it places it can't really handle...

[DRAGOONRANCH]

All-Pro: Looks good, but dont like the bolt on grill
ARB: Looks light duty to me, and have heard lots of horror stories of ARB's
Bent-Up: Looks b!tch!n, like the tow points too
DO: Another that looks light duty, and dont care for the cut-outs
Exp. One: Like the tow points
Fab Four: If its as heavy as it looks, then might be a good buy, like the recessed lights
L NW: Very different than the rest, might be alright in black on yours, but hard to imagine with all the yellow on that one!
Warn: Not bad, but fog lights won't last 2 minutes on trail. No attatchment points, warn should know better.
Brown Custom: I always did like the big pipe bumpers, but thats just the redneck in me.


Just remember, its your money, you spend it how you want. Don't let some of these knuckleheads here tell you how to spend it. Build it, wheel it, break it, repair it, repeat.........

at the risk of beating a dead horse...
you should be able to pick up a sammi or yota beater for the cost of one of those bumpers
glad to see an FJ Cruiser that goes off-road, should be fun!

i like the fab fours but me thinks it needs a grill bar of some type.

I like the Bent-UP. Fab Fours looks heavy/bulky but I like it and they are also old TAMOR guys

oh really?!?! I didn't know that... hmm I might be looking at the Fab Four in a different light...

...especially if they want to help a college kid out who is paying for his truck and college off a single job...I am so in debt...
