Don't assume just read! haha nope no body lift and I don't think I will need it after the OME 861s are installed I'm hoping it will help with the rubbing issues I have..

Haha im not much of a reader but yea i had some rubbing with the 1inch spacers and i was wondering if you were running one. I think im gonna do a 1 or 2 inch bl and put my spacers back on

This might have been addressed before on here but I couldnt find anything by searching, I know your running 315s but what kind of mileage are you getting? Im considering getting the same rims with 33s but not sure of the hit that mpgs would take.

I'm actually running 295/70/17s...my mileage is around 12-13 city and maybe 15 at best on highway.

What kind of spacers are you talking about? I wouldn't do more than a 1" body lift since you should be able to reduce your rubbing by some hammering and trimming at the pinch welds.

Where are you located?

I am heading up to the bay area for thanksgiving break- would love to smash around.

I bought some 1in wheel spacers from a company called rigged up. i believe thats the name of it and thats where the rub is. i kinda dont wanna cut up the fender wells tho.

Have you put them on to see if it helps with rubbing? Even if you don't wanna cut up the fender wells it is necessary and worth it if you don't want to ruin your tires.

East Bay, Danville Area but my dad lives in Sacramento. I'll hopefully be going to hollister hills or some other trails with my buddy who has an FJ.

Sounds like you could use some gears.....4.88's perhaps. I'm averaging 15 City and 17-18 highway depending on ethanol blend.

Yup thats probably what I'll be getting when I get enough moolah..You have 4.88s?

 

[xcmountain80]

I've had 4.10 (stock iirc), 4.56, and lastly 4.88's in the same truck. Love the 4.88's something like 2500 rpm's at 70 mph.

Hollister 11/26

So while I was back home for Thanksgiving, a few friends and I decided to go to Hollister Hills for some wheeling. The weather was great, and we all had a lot of fun. Only downside to the trip was my friend might have f****d his front diff on his ram, and my friends FJ wouldn't start at the end of the day. Other wheelers think that since he went in the mud pit so much he might have gotten too much in the starter causing a bad connection. Anyway..here are the few pics that we got. I'll try putting up some videos later.

Does it work now? Truck hill looked pretty crazy the first time I went but after my buddy went up in his FJ I decided to go for it. I would join you but I just got back to Hawaii today and won't be back in Cali until Christmas break
