Here are two centavos regarding the tires:
I was a supporter of Dunlops and BFGs (I don't remember which one...I only bought them because their highway mileage approximated 50,000 miles.
This week, after visiting several off-road forums for weeks, I decided to go with the TOYO AT II, 295/65-18.
Very quiet on the highway, and it seems to stabilize the FJ Cruiser some with the suspension mods I've had done.
I have noticed, however, that the transmission now shifts waaay too soon from third through 6th. First and second are OK. So I am going to try the
performance chips and one of the large air breather kits that increase torque/recurves the torque.
Here is the latest photo:
The package was about $2,200.
According to reports, mileage should be between 40-50K

I bought this set (including spare) for $500 - after selling my set of 5, they cost $175. For that price, I couldn't say, "No"
If another screaming deal came along, "Yes" I would definitely buy another set.
But, if I was paying out-of-pocket for another new set of tires, I have my sights on the new BAJA ATZ P3 tire. It looks like the perfect "Desert
Terrain" tire - strong sidewall and all.

MMc, you have me confused with someone else. I don't care what you do to yourself. I do care about having all the information so the best decisions
can be made. Sad that is no longer important to many.

When I was at the wheel warehouse in Anaheim, they had a few sets of Robbie Gordon's wheels.
I inquired about the price...
The sales rep said I "had good taste" and that RG is pretty proud of them.
This is the first time I heard that term used by someone other than a jeweler.
They were almost $400.00 each!
Although I did also see a set of carbon fiber wheels (4) for $18,000! They weighed about 5 lbs each!
