    FJ Cruiser or 4Runner?

    my cousin has a FJ. that thing is small. I wouldn't think it makes the best overland trip vehicle since it has limited cargo space. I'd say 4runner is a better option. I seem to see more of them built for overlanding. FJs are more for trail use. Can't speak for ownership on either one though...

    as it is there's very little preload in the front so thats why the front isn't too high. just going to wait and see how the rear settles.

    lift is in. thinking will need to remove an overload in the back. more rake than I'd like to have and don't want to have too much preload on the front. Plenty of wheel travel now :D

    Beating a Dead Horse...what tire should I choose?

    I had the ST maxx on my jeep, loved them. Currently have the goodyear duratracs on my 3rd gen taco and have been impressed with them. I will be upgrading to a 33 next spring and not sure though if I will stick with them, or get something even more aggressive. I do a lot of rock and rock...
