Now for my favorite upgrade; the 285/75r17 (34") Yokohama Geolandar G003 Mud Terrain tires!!!











Next to a stock TRD Pro




I upgraded the front and rear bump stops to avoid the MT's tearing off the wheel flares and damaging areas when flexing off road.

For the front I used an inexpensive bump stop from Energy Suspension off Amazon.



For the rear I just used Toytec billet bump stop spacers.



Testing for clearances again







A little too close for comfort. This is fully articulated. I had to do a little more cutting on the body mount.






At this time I also installed some rear shock skids from FJ Toyman.



I ended up cutting off about another inch from the front bumper, so about 2" in total including the first cut I did previously. I call it, the "Hulk Cut" and much prefer this over the high-clearance cut or the "Viper Cut."

Once again, just used a nice sharp box cutter on a warm day.








This picture shows the relocated bolt holes for where the liner connect to the bumper.
