FJ CruiserGeneral discussion forum for the Toyota FJ Cruiser.
This is a discussion thread titled "Pics of Revtek Lifted FJ Cruiser", within the FJ Cruiser forum, part of the SUV Forums category.
My buddy got his FJ Cruiser on Thursday and we talked him into getting a lift, and some off-road tires. He selected the all-terrains and insisted that we mount them with the white walls out. "It's a retro car", was his weak argument. Anyway, this is the RevTek 431 kit. The tires are 285/70-17. There doesn't seem to be any rubbing after turning lock to lock. We also convinced him to remove the running boards (which he didn't want in the first place). He's currently looking to sell the running boards or preferrably to trade them for some rock rails.
We started last night about 8PM, and did the lift and mounted/balanced all 4 tires. We finished about midnight but we socialized a lot and the install should probably take only 2-3 hours.
Anyways, here's the pics. The darn thing is growing on me.... although I'm spoiled by the off-road capabilities of my modified Rubicon.

I got my FJ last week and am looking for running boards. If your buddy isn't able to trade them for rock rails, I may be interested in buying them. I'm only 5'1" tall, so they would be a big help. Thanks. E-mail me @ nordychick@comcast.net if interested. I live in Vancouver, WA.
