Here's my 2007 FJ Cruiser in all her filthy glory. It has a 3" rugged ridge lift, 16" KMC XD series hoss wheels, 33" MT's, Total chaos upper control arms, and Smitty built rock sliders.

2017. yeah i'll have this one for awhile.@jonUF02 Nice that's where I wish I was on days like today. It's hot and sticky here. @Mr.mark057 Sweet ride. Looks like fun to drive! What year is it?
I'm glad you already addressed it cause I would've asked if you needed a new pair of drawers. Sweet ride manBig boy toy story from today...
We had our Superformance Cobra replica, details in the full scale toys thread linked above, at Gingerman raceway today. Just had some new slicks mounted up which, in hindsight, had spun a bit on the rear rims throughout the day. The resulting imbalance caused the rear end to come around on me under braking entering turn 11 at somewhere around 120 mph. Skidded down the track sideways for a couple hundred feet and ended up in the infield. Luckily the car is fine and so are my boxers. Yikes!
Some pics of the resulting mess...

No not a Dodge... well at least you have an Arrma so that kinda makes up for it.Just made my 1st payment.
Time to screw those tires on. I had the same problem with my wagon after we put the big block in the front and Hoosier drag slicks on the rear. We marked the tires and rims to see if they would move and after the first run at the track both rear wheels moved a good 4-6 inches on the rims. Fortunately because the car is so heavy we had already put inner tubes in them so they stayed inflated even though they moved so much. We run Mickey Thompson ET Streets, street legal drag tires now, but still put 10 screws in each tire/wheel set (5 on the front and 5 on the back). Basically the cheap version of a beadlock.
I am hoping it does not come to that. Those are halibrand wheels with knock offs and I feel screwing them would be the equivalent of black socks with sandals. We've got a couple of other less invasive tricks to try first and hopefully one of them works.
