Dude that thing is sweet!      Ultra clean with all the great upgrades.  Why would you want to get rid of that?

[Tool Pimp [OP]]

Thinkin of getting a x-cab or something with a longer WB

[BLACKDOG]

Just talk to Mr. Willy Mammoth.  He extended his willy (er, willies)  and as far as I know, is really happy with it

An extra cab may be too long.  I have heard of people having problems turning Xcabs a tight places.  That rig is just too sweet to give up

What is the wheelbase on that FJ?

[Tool Pimp [OP]]

92" or so........

[Loosekannon]

I have been trying to talk him into, making the wheel base grow about 10 inches by linking the rear and run some waggy springs up front. It has good stuff on it, just fix whats wrong and  it. Still working on talking him into......hell I need to learn 4 link anyway

Stock WB is 90". Flip the springs (turn each around 90 degrees) and you'll be @ 98". Or you can get stupid like me and end up @ 109" on a 40. 

[Tool Pimp [OP]]

Already got the front fliped never thought about the rear

[freds40]

Yup, another 4". Cool thing is with the short end of the spring arc @ the back, you also make your departure angle awesome.
