For bud built, they are the same cost as aluminum...

We pick it up Tuesday. I will look over it very closely to make sure it's exactly what we ordered.

What about stainless steel? Budbuilt offers them, corrosion would be minimal (but the weight would be higher than aluminum)

I think the take home message is this: want a jeep wrangler with a bit more space, slightly less off road ability (before the jeep guys burn my fj to the ground, if you want to rock crawl, get the jeep, if you want larger than 35" tires, get the jeep), but with tons more comfort and reliability...

I totally agree with you on that. With two people, it's great. Four people and a dog? Hell no, I would have a different truck. My ownership will end the second the wife and I have a kid, I am sure of that.

I have not found the visibility to be as bad as everyone says it is. Drive it for a week, you dont notice it. Also, backup camera's are standard after a certain year (I think 2010?). That makes a huge difference. As far as space, you just learn to pack "up" and not "out" as the FJ has a fairly...

Have a 2014... I agree with the above, get a 2010+ for the fender bulge fix, and the slightly better power. Also, dont worry about the truck having A-Trac, it is easy to add by just installing the button as long as you have the rear locker... OH, and get one with a rear locker. *edit* The new...

Well... Just heard from my ordering dealer... Should be here in 2-3 weeks. I dropped off the tires at the factory a few weeks ago, and apparently caused a bit of a ruckus as they were bigger than they thought they would be (34x10.5R17's mounted on FJ cruiser rims). I did have a really nice...

Nahhh... I had just returned from getting the tires mounted, and I did not want the tire techs fighting the spare tire carrier on the expo one swing out, so it was sitting in the back of the FJ in that pic. It is now mounted on the rear, and the window still opens!

2010+ for the engine and rear end upgrades. Make sure you get one with a rear locker (almost all had it, but a few dont, the option wont add to the purchase price at all of a used FJ). Mine has been great, very comfortable, very tough. There is a huge aftermarket for them, you will find...

A little update on this... The FJ has now received an expo one rear bumper and swing out, icon suspension, and 34x10.5R17 BFG AT KO2's...

The 34x10.5R17s are great! I posted some pictures on the thread under General mods...

The new bfg at ko2s are great in the snow, much better than the originals.

Discount Tire was able to order them for me (I got them Thursday last week, before they were even officially released). If you call, they will tell you they cant order them, tell them thats not true, and that you know someone who got them. They will then talk to their BFG rep and order them for...

Thanks guys, it was a huge chance to order 7 tires sight unseen, and with no idea if they would fit, but they fit perfectly (and look great)! They dont touch the body mount (a common issue for FJ Cruisers) as they are so narrow for their height, and they ride really nicely. Not noisy at all, and...

Best I have on my work computer... Not really as skinny as I thought they would be.

Got a set of 34x10.5x17's mounted on my fj. Only about 15 miles on them, but look good and are very quiet.

Just an FYI for you folks that want the new 34" size... Discount tire has them available for delivery a few days ahead of the release date (March 1st). Pretty good discount if you price match against the few internet sites that have them posted. I have them on order for a friday delivery :)
