You totally want spikes, don't you... Just kidding. :coffeedrink: It would probably make more sense to keep the stainless hardware and shoot the heads with some black paint or Plasti-Dip.

Glad to hear you're only enjoying it a little, lol. (Trying not be jealous and failing)

Here's the link - http://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/wheels-tires/1512-what-concessions-are-made-when-adding-big-tires/ Overall I think it's a good object lesson, especially for a vehicle like a Pre-JK wrangler or 80-Series Land Cruiser. Neither are the most overpowered of 4x4s when...

If the O'Reilly batteries have the same specs/dimensions as the Deka batteries I'd say they probably are the same units.

i wish you luck in getting what you want, but I was unable to actually order from the website even though the Platinum Group 35 I wanted (4yr warranty!) is still showing there, so I chose the 'order by phone' option and that's when they told me. Fingers crossed for you... :beer: EDIT: As an...

I'll bet that stinger bar comes in handy for extra leverage... :coffeedrink:

No More DieHard Platinums... Just two weeks ago I tried to get a Platinum battery, and was definitely told by a Sears rep over the phone (800-819-6963) that they will no longer offer the Platinum line once stocks are depleted. They are still shown on Sears' website, but cannot be ordered via...

I put Energy Suspension bushings on the front control arms of my GTI when I upgraded the suspension and it steered like a go-kart (relative to stock) for over a year. After 2yrs (guessing ~25k miles) it wasn't so great and my front tire wear started looking wonky. Upon dis-assembly I could see...

Well yeah. No one's willing to endure the nosebleeds necessary to put anything up there...

Hitch Skid Plate... There are small 'standard' ones (great for low-hanging front-mounted receivers) from several aftermarket hitch manufacturers. And then there's this bigger option - http://www.rocky-road.com/samurai-hitch-skid-plate.html

And that seems to get pointedly ignored every time someone joins up here and on the FJCruiserForums just to sell a truck, lol. Looks like it's the destiny of the 'OzBogan' FJC to just get sold/resold again and again ever since Ben and his wife moved back to Australia.

Don't forget the gloves... Don't forget the gloves, multiple pairs. Consider that while using a lot of the items listed above you would be wearing gloves. Winching, digging, changing a tire, plugging a tire, chopping wood, and the list goes on. And a new set of MaxTrax will shred your bare...

Lookin' good, Willy! Love that winch mount. :beer:

Agreed, but I would prefer Viking Offroad's 'UTP Multi-Hitch' that can be rotated so that the shackle can pivot horizontally. Be careful to not get straight-pulled at too severe an angle, but it also makes for a great odd-angle snatch-block (pulley) anchor for winching when there's an extra...

Confirmed: DieHard Platinums are no more... FWIW... After I could not get a DieHard Platinum locally and discovered the website would no longer allow online ordering of them I called Sears directly and spoke to a very helpful lady who informed me that they will no longer be making/selling the...

Liking the whole 'rustic cabin' aesthetic. No trailer is greatly aerodynamic anyways, right? Might as well have some style.

Nicely done... Nice balance between extra coverage and not going too far. Looks good without being the 'oversized bulges' that the FJ Cruiser flares are to my eye. Will there be a smooth, non-pocket version? Really liking the black-on-white contrast with the truck you guys used for the...

Instead of paint... You might consider a DIY vinyl wrap or spraying it with PlastiDip for the roof sections and fold-up side walls instead of paint. Either would be cheaper than real paint, and easier to undo or redo as needed. PlastiDip spray is $35/6-pack on Amazon or can be purchased lots...

One guy literally cut out an exhaust outlet in his Rock Tamer flap and reinforced/heat-shielded it - http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/trucks-trailers-transportation/309220-hitch-mounted-mud-flaps.html
