Thanks man, Ive actually been thinking about doing the FJ wheels in anthracite grey and keeping the silver/machined ring around the outside by the bead.
The daystar lift it really just a temporary fix for some ground clearance until I can afford the coilover lift I want.

That lift looks good. How long did it take you? I'm planning on doing mine in a few weeks. You going to get bigger tires too?

Thanks man, Its more of a temporary fix until I can afford the suspension kit I want. It took me a while to figure out the best possible way to do it, and the instructions that come with the kit suck. once I had some help with an experienced person who has done it on these trucks before, we flew through it. If he was there from the beginning the whole job can be done in under 2 hours easy.
I will get bigger tires eventually when these tires die. They are very good tires so not worth getting rid of yet.

And after a few months of Prep, thanks to advice and inspiration from some forum members, I finally was able to bring the runner to Rausch creek Offroad park in PA and really test it out.
I gotta say, these trucks far surpassed my expectations, keeping in mind im basically stock except for some armor and daystar lift. I cannot wait to go back with upgrades and push the limits even more!
Here is a link to the youtube channel that currently only has clips from this past trip. On here you will see my friends with their lifted 07 tahoe, 13 fj cruiser 6spd, 05 rubicon and 06 wrangler sport with f&r lockers.

NICE! The stretch video is really cool. I bet it is 1000 times steeper in person than on the video.

Looks like a fun run! I didn't even know you did the DS lift? You pry told me and i forgot, how are you liking it now with a little more clearance, probably a big difference from the last time you were there.
