Main Line Overland 08 FJ Cruiser

[WCFJ]

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:



Mods done by previous owner:

-ARB front bumper
-ARB Rear bumper
-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:



Pics from the fjbruisers 9/10 "back to school event"


(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.
