I traded my mazdaspeed 3 in on a 2008 FJC with 45k miles about 6 weeks ago.

I bought it from a dealer in south Jersey that took it on a trade.

This is how it looked when I bought it:

-ARB roof rack
-ARB touring awning
-Kaymar hi-lift & shovel mount
-IPF spot lights
-Snorkel & TRD intake
-TRD Exhaust
-Ricochet Skids
-OME Heavy lift
-Stock 17’s with bald 33x12.50’s

Testing out the awning:

(I added a 1.5in spacer to clear the UCA's because the tires were rubbing)

I picked up a set of 16in wheelers off road wheels off craigslist for $250.
I ordered the 058 paint to match the roof from expresspaint and painted and cleared them.

I decided to go with 305/70/16 BFG MT KM2's because they are a little taller and narrower than the 33's and fit without the spacer and no rubbing at all. Not to mention how much quieter they are!

I just put a warn m8000 in the bumper, was a bit of a pain in the *** taking the bumper off...but it fit well

Nice FJ Cruiser!

Any plans for a tent too to go along with the awning?

Thanks!

I have checked out your build thread a lot...haha

I do want to get a tent sometime over the winter. I am going to the Overland event in VT this weekend, so hopefully I can check some out there.

I am working on a m100 trailer right now, so I would like to be able to move it from the roof to the trailer as needed.

Thats a sweet looking tan FJ in the 4th picture! :sombrero:

I cant remember if we formally met at Rausch or not, but either way welcome to the Bruisers and the portal. See you in VT this week!

I dont think we did, but I do remeber you spotting for the ditch run, I'll have to check out your tent set up. See you up there

Love the rims and tires!:drool:

West Chester, my hometown! FJ looks great, i really like the wheels.

Thanks guys! I was not to sure on how the white wheels would look, but I am happy with how it turned out. I have thought of painting the grille and mirror caps white as well...but I think it might be too much?
