    Treadwright Tires? Yay or nay?

    I'm all about budgeting my build. I don't have expendable income to blow on the most expensive name brand things for my FJ. I've been looking at tires for the past few months, wanting to upgrade from stock 31's to 33's for a little more ground clearance and all that. I already have a bilstein...

    Calling all CB experts! I need CB Help!

    I finally got around to installing a CB this past weekend in my FJ. I didn't cheap out on one either. I got myself a peaked and tuned Cobra 29LX. 18' of quality coax. A 4' Firestik II (tune-able tip) with a spring and quick disconnect, and an AllPro "Bandi" mount for the rear hinge. Installation...

    Homebuild RTT Ideas?

    Hey all, I have a whole grocery list of plans for my 2010 FJ this year. Starting with a bumper and winch install as soon as the weather gets above freezing here on Long Island.

    Overlanding the northeast/new england

    Hey overlanders, I live on Long Island, NY. Not a great place to be if you're into offroading and overlanding I've found. Sure there's Rousch Creek in PA, but that's a 5 hour drive from me. My 2010 FJ Trail Teams and I are itching to break the mall crawler status and seriously get the tires...
