That was painful to read...

I just threw up. Thanks a lot Green Lantern.

Green Lantern,

Good pics of the hardware underneath. FJ is as ugly as ever. Saw 3 on the road this weekend.

S.

well at least he posted non-driveway or garage pics...lol

Maybe we should have a section for "empty parking lot" pictures.

I'll probably head out to the toyota dealer tomorrow to check out hte FJ...not interested in buying...just looking....

don't forget to remove your legs if you intend to be in the back seat

Got the chance to drive one, had 989 miles, owner was already tired of it and wanted to trade. Toyota had the strongest offer and they were not really interested. Was a little louder inside than the H3, bigger turning diameter (only a few feet) and definately not an H3 competitor. Overall....slightly less than impressed.

The All-Pro build up is starting to look good.


Lifted


Ramped


Coilovers


39's

Im sorry but those things are just plain ugly. those 39's will snap the crap out of stock half shafts!!! We'll soon see how good they really are on the trails.

As far as looks go you either like it or you don't but what I really like is the aftermarket support. The FJ has been out for only a month and there are already 9 diffrent companies offering lifts and 3 offering winch bumpers and or rock sliders.

Lifts:
-All Pro Off Road
-Donahoe Racing
-Revtek
-Old Man Emu
-Tuff Country
-Super Lift
-Camburg
-Total Chaos

Bumpers/Sliders:
-All Pro Off Road
-ARB USA
-Bent Up Fab

As an off-roader you gotts like that.

The 39's arn't part of the AP build up they were just put on to see if they would fit, they are using BFG MT's.

the first pic what size are those tires?

Still an ugly FJ even with the 39" tires. And who knows how slow it would accelerate with those tires.

S.

All-Pro is using 33" BFG MT's for their build up. You could fit bigger with that lift but the 33"s look good on the FJ and I don't think it would be worth it even with the FJ's good power and Torque to go any bigger. The 33's will fit on a stock FJ but the lift helps for flexing off-road. I think 33"s on 16x8 wheels would be the perfect setup. That's tire's one size over stock and rims one 1" wider.

That's a lot of modifying just to keep up with the H2/3s. Can't wait to see the broken parts those over-sized tires cause.

That thing only makes the car look more like a POS. The H3 integrated winch that's floating around looks a 1000x cleaner.

Not really, those are all simple bolt on mods that you could do in your own garage. The H3/2 are great out of the box off-roaders but to be honest I think the Allpro FJ with a 105” wheel base, 13” of ground clearance and a front winch bumper it would probably be the H3/2 playing catch up on the trail.

There will be no breaking of parts running the 33” BFG MT’s they are using in the AP build up. I would worry more about the guys putting 35” on the already underpowered H3 without re-gearing.
