So last few months I've been doing quite a bit of research and questioning of which route i wanted to go...
Do I lower my FXT?, Do I lift it? What wheels should I get? Which tires should I get?
So, I finally made the decision of eventually lifting my FXT and going for more of a light off-road/trailing build.
I've truly been inspired by @SuBooneru and his FXT.
My setup :
Enkei RPF1 17x8+35
Hankook DynaPro ATM 235/65/17
Hopefully you guys like what I've done and what will come in the future. If not, than oh well! lol.

is the picture cropped??? you may wanna take a look at the program your using to clean up the photo...looks kinda suspect...
otherwise i'm glad you pulled the trigger with the 235/65/17s...been loving how much better the TOYO AT2s are compared the Cooper AT3s...nd tread life on top of that...my friend had the same thoughts too...had to replace his AT3s in less than 35k miles...his AT2s running passed 50k already strong...surprisingly still with plenty of threads...nd harder driving conditions.
What's so suspicious about it? I use a t3i and edit with lightroom. I may have edited out the light pole base that showed on the right side of the close up pictures.
I don't think coopers are widely available here in San Francisco, CA area.
I've always loved the RPF1's and was looking to buy a set but decided not to purchase. I thought it might not complete the rugged look when paired with ATs but after seeing them on your SJ I can see that I was very wrong! It looks amazing. Cool to see the 235/65's on it too.
Received my Crossbars, Roof Basket, and the 32" LED Light-bar & Harness last week. Got them all installed and straightened out.
Also had put some Christmas lights around the basket for poops n giggles.
So I learned something the hard way, Never cut metal on top of the car or at least don't leave the metal shavings there.
So anyways, here's what happens if you leave them there.
I bought my light bar off Amazon its just some random name 32inch LED light bar. i also bought the wiring harness off amazon its called opt 7. worked fine plenty of slack.
the light bar is mounted to my roof basket its a curt basket also off amazon, also bought the basket extention as well.
Alright its been a while since I've updated this thread.
Not many changes, just some adventuring.
I did however rearrange the fairing and light bar configuration.
Couple weekends ago, Me and a group of friends headed up to Tahoe and Reno, to play in some snow and chill out.
so heres a few pics from there.
It's tough to stay active on here if you'd like to see more follow me on Instagram : Bryanjc
Love what you've done, awesome stuff! Great photos too! I bet those are some epic trips. Sometimes I wonder if I should have gone the opposite route with my XT.
