  • Hey everyone! This time on Let's FJ! I present to you an episode I've been wanting to release for quite some time! In this video I cover the most common types of FJ Cruiser builds oriented towards different types of off-roading or other FJ-related activities! I hope this video is helpful to those who want to learn more about FJs and off-roading, especially if you are looking at upgrading your own FJ Cruiser to meet your off-roading or on-roading needs! The names for the classifications are just ones I came up with, and you very well may have different names or alternative names for the same things. For example, I think the Baja Build could also be the Baja/Rally build since they are pretty similar, and the Weekend Warrior could just be the Classic Off-road build. So it doesn't matter too much, but you get the idea.
    Here are some time-stamps for navigating the video:
    0:00 - Intro
    1:16 - Video Preface
    1:51 - Stock Build
    3:11 - Weekend Warrior Build
    4:19 - Overland Build
    5:29 - Crawler Build
    6:59 - Hybrid Builds
    7:55 - Baja Build
    9:19 - Solid Axle Swap Build
    10:44 - Mall Crawler Build
    11:24 - Lowered/Stanced Build
    12:27 - Conclusion
    Here are some links to stuff mentioned in the video:

    Mine has a 3” lift and a winch that fits into the original bumper since I want to keep it looking fairly stock. I want 33” inch tires and the 16” inch wheels that came in the trail teams edition but economical situations have not allowed me to get them unfortunately..

Equipt with aftermarket bumpers w/winch, Fox suspension And lift, ViAir compressor set up, Shovel & ax rack mount, fuel & water Jerry cans, a Sparrow Roofnest & lots of LED lights so far. My next goal is to install fender flares & snorkel. Future upgrades I have been researching solar panels/batteries. Thank you for all you do man, I appreciate yah!

    Sorry to double comment, But as I was watching this i thought i should ask. I would like to keep modifications down to a minimum, but i want that "pillow" tire look. Is it wise to run 15" wheels with 33-35" tires? Will i need a lift for that? Have you any experience with doing something similar?

    • @FJX2000_Productions
      @FJX2000_Productions  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      No worries, so the minimum wheel size you can fit on the FJ is actually a 16" wheel, so unfortunately a 15" wheel wont work. But a 33" tire on a 16" wheel is very very common. A 35" tire is also possible but you will want to read and study on what types of modifications are necessary to get them to fit. An invaluable resource is going to be on the FJCruiserForums.com in the wheels and tires section. At the top of that section are some pinned threads that go into all the details about fitting certain sized wheels and tires on the FJ, so check those out 👌

    Hi, which of those builds do u think is the best build for daily and offroad? Should I get a axle swap? How much do u think will I spent more if I go for the solid axle? Sorry for the bunch of questions 🥺🥺🥺🥺 // Nice video bro really well explained 🔥🔥🔥🔥

    • @FJX2000_Productions
      @FJX2000_Productions  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It depends on what type of off-roading you want to do, your budget, skill level, and lots of things. For someone who goes to the sand dunes, their build will look very different than someone who wants to go one cross-country expeditions and camp in their FJ. So it all depends on what is best for you. If you want the most extreme off-roader possible, then a solid axle swap may be great. But if you’re not going to be doing that extreme of off-roading then a much more modest build will be fine.
