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...

Is this still a thing? Or nah?

I'll do my best to make it here, blocking off the dates on my calendar now!

I took everything apart and scraped more paint off everything, to the point I'm worried about rust now... It was working well for a few days, but I still couldn't get anyone to respond to my radio checks and still couldn't hear anyone on any channel. I then found out there was a CB shop...

I'm definitely going, already RSVP'ed a week or so ago. I'll be headed up from Long Island. If anyone local to me wants to meetup before hand, grab a coffee and convoy up with me just let me know. Not 100% sure I'll be staying the night there, but I'm definitely looking forward to meeting everyone!

Before leaving work, I took the quick disconnect and spring off and screwed the antenna directly to the stud. I then drove to a big empty parking lot, and calibrated without an issue, the SWR was still reading below 1. I was able to hear some people talking on channel 6 for a few seconds but...

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...

I grew up in Mattituck, and still head out there to visit friends and drive the backroads. I take a trip out to Montauk a few times a year to visit Camp Hero and such. I keep forgetting to get my 4x4 permit, but when I do I'll definitely be down to explore some beaches. Let me know if you want...

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. One of my goals to complete before the summer is a DIY roof top tent. I've been doing a bit of research and I've seen...

Hey guys, For all my fellow overlander friends who live on Long Island and drive FJ cruisers. (I know I've seen you and your rugs around here) I created a facebook group for us! I'm hoping to get a group together for a "rigs and coffee" meetup soon if enough people join. I'd also love to plan...

Hey guys, good news! I just created a facebook group for all my fellow Long Island FJ enthusiasts! Go search Long Island FJ Cruisers to join the group! I'm hoping to do a meetup soon!

A few days later, but over the weekend I installed front and rear Bilstein 5100’s. I set the front to a 2.5” lift, had an alignment done and a tire rotation. I also changed the oil, and changed the transmission oil to Amsoil GL-4. The 6MT loves it, shifts so much smoother. I’m dying to hit...

I just got the memo from the bossman, my company is officially closing from Saturday, December 23rd through Monday, January 1st. I see this as a perfect opportunity to plan a little trail run. I don't have a location yet, but I was thinking either upstate NY, Vermont or New Hampshire. I'm from...

#8397 from Long Island! Just sent a request!

Long Island here, trying to plan a trip either upstate, or to VT to drive some class 5 backroads for a weekend soon. If anyone wants to try to plan a trip in the next few weeks let me know! I'm installing my Bilstein 5100's on my FJ this weekend and want to hit a trail with my new setup.

It’s a paved road up to the top. I’ve seen minivans and Honda’s make it up there haha, you’ll be more than fine Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up, the NY empire pass is on sale this week for $65 (marked down from $80) it allows unlimited access to all state run parks, forests, beaches and trails for one year! I’ll be ordering mine this week. I haven’t explored much in upstate NY, but with this...

I'd be interested! I've already climbed the mountain in my FJ, but am always up to doing it again!

I've only been to VT once, but I have a co-worker that grew up there, I'll have to ask him if he knows any good trails. I'll do some research on some class 4 roads. I just did a quick google search and found these handy links: http://www.dirtopia.com/wiki/Vermont...
