I already know I’m gonna watch this a thousand times over
Yeah buddy, thanks for watching, your the man!
Fun video! I end up looking like I’m falling out of a clown car when I exit the FJ… 😂
Yeah it can be a little difficult at times especially if there’s people in the back seat coming out at the same time.lol
The look around before getting in was perfect 😂
Thanks bud, it’s the alpha technique:)
Owning an FJ makes you cool by default.
Yes it does.
It might be ALMOST ridiculous making a video about this but certainly not ridiculous. I have a JDM camper van and getting in and out was an adjustment. I pretty much do what you do, sometimes adding a little bounce on the way up. I bought an out-of-state FJ. Waiting for delivery, so definitely interested in anything FJ. The looking around is a nice touch because, the reality is, it’s never going to be as smooth getting into something lifted as slipping into a sedan. Thanks 🌸
It’s good to hear that you’re getting an FJ…. Now you can cruise around and make you friends jealous.
If you don't lift it and put oversized rubber on the wheels, it's much easier to get in and out.
Yeah…. sometimes the lift with huge tires is overrated, that’s for sure.
I've had my FJ since 2012 and I get in the same way you do. good job!
Yeah buddy, you’re like an FJ veteran!
Now I'm putting way to much thought into how I get in and out of mine. I think I'll do the look around when I'm waring my yellow hoodie that just so happens to be the same yellow as my FJ😂
LOL, yeah buddy, dazzle the world a little bit with the yellow and show off.
my seat is all torn up... it's a 218Thousand mile badge of honor~NyNomad, Blueroom
Kind of like a War wound too.
I’m going to give it a go.
Yeah buddy:)
Nailed it! Same for me with my 07 except I have bars with knurled step plates lieu of running boards. And, so far, no tears in my seat with just over 120k miles.
Nerf bars with steps are so BADASS! Sounds like you have a sweet setup.
@@AndreHaroldDancs Its a stock rig except for a leveling kit, but thank you for your compliment. Your rig looks sweet too. These things will go anywhere with that locking rear diff. My buddy has a diesel rubicon unlimited Jeep and FJ had no problems following him through the mountains. FJs forever Dude!
Already had to re-do my driver's side seat due to this. Problem is, I'm 6'-4" and your method is harder for me - I know, because I do it similarly, just have to be more careful not to knock myself out
Yeah 6’-4” is pretty awesome, just being that size alone, is cool and turns heads.
LOL - great reply. But no, not always...I have the bruises to prove it!@@AndreHaroldDancs
Keep up the good work. Your getting better at this fj stuff
Thanks man I’m trying. At least it’s Something to watch.
Can't tell if you're trolling or not lol. But honestly, I do a hybrid of your buddy and you. I grab the vertical handle and then take just lift myself up and onto the seat. Never thought I'd have to experiment with different ways of entering and exiting the vehicle. What a time to be alive haha
LOL, what a time to be alive. I had to make a video on something…. It’s free entertainment!
I just bought my 2021 FJ two days ago. genuinely. Thank you
Sweet…. I’m happy for you, I’m sure you will enjoy it.
Smartest decision
2021? I’m confused.
@@duvessa2003 yeah I live in Kuwait they were in production for Middle East until 2023.
@@mehdiazad75 Oh, right. Congrats! Hope you’re enjoying it 🍀
I get in and out exactly the same way as you 🤣
Like a BOSS! Lol
miss my FJ...... One of my Fav SUV
Yeah there great, and at least you can say you had one.
The first thing I did to mine was take the factory running boards off. Im 6 feet tall with long legs so I just step in. The running boards will soil the back of your jeans everytime. My lifted Silverado has running/nerf bars that I custom made so I actually use them in and out.
Sweet, I find custom made stuff always neat to check out on other rides, and of course no running boards makes it better for off roading.
*I'm moving to Canada, Y'all got the Good Drugs*
Lol, yeah Canada is pretty great, I noticed you post some FJ content too. I look forward to watching some videos.
Great video! What front and tail lights are those?
Thanks, I bought the vehicle with the aftermarket tail already in place, and there were also DNA front LED headlights in place too, but the DNA lights didn’t last very long so I replaced them with a higher quality, archaic front headlight and they are defiantly more money but seem to be way better.
@@AndreHaroldDancs thanks for that info!! Looking at Archaic fronts right now! Do you know what the aftermarket tail lights were?
No, I don’t know about anything about the tail lights, Sorry man. But my thought is that the tail lights aren’t always on the and in Canada the daytime running light in front have to always be on so you could probably get away with something a little bit cheaper for tail lights.
What size tires and rims are on that thing and is it stock? \\ Thats the way I do it in my suburban z71.. haha. if you want to get in quick and smooth you do the same but you don't even have to stand all the way up keep knees bent and just glide in without touching the seat.
I have 35”x12.5” tires and the rims are 16” diameter but I’m not sure about the offset on them. I used to have a friend who had one of those giant suburbans and it was a fun vehicle for drive in also. The truth is I get in and out of my FJ all sorts of different ways depending on the day and my mood(:
HAHA I am the same about getting in different ways based on mood.. I do the look around thing sometimes too lol. I guess you can tell the mood of someone in the Truck Gang by how they get in and out of their truck lol. The tires on your FJ look huge I love it! @@AndreHaroldDancs
Great wheel set up ...35s on 3" lift ?
Yeah brother, there 35s on an old man emu 3” lift.
The way you get in, is exactly the best way, and the same way i do it. Have to throw that right knee in first, under the steering wheel. Its like butter getting in and out that way.
Yeah cool, it’s definitely my preferred way too but every once in a while I switch it up.
What's size rims and tires are you running? Any modifications to make them fit ?
The rims are 16” and the tires are 35”x12.5” you will need to lift the FJ a couple of inches and cut shorter, or replace, one body mounting bracket just behind the front Tire.
There’s more info in my othe videos named four mods for under $10
Thanks much bro !
What size tires are those. Look really nice
Thanks man, There 35”x12.5” BFG all terrains
@@AndreHaroldDancs My Fj is a daily driver. Would I be ok putting those on?
@Frank-gh9qn mine is a daily driver too, although I don’t drive very far, so the fuel mileage doesn’t make much of a difference to me. If you don’t have a large commute then it might be worth considering something bigger if you like. The vehicle can handle it.
Please share your wheel and tire mods
OK, I can share that in my next video or soon. I’m just jammed this weekend but I’ll try and post something next weekend.
What kind of running boards are those???
Honestly, I couldn’t tell you, they are nice big plastic ones that I got with the vehicle when I bought it used.
JUST PUT A SEAT COVER ON THE SEATS
Yeah some nice leather ones would be good.
Dont grab and pull on the steering wheel, its gunna ruin the bloody wheel. theres a grab handle on the roof or pillar, use it.
Yeah man, you tell them! there’s even two grab handles and most people don’t use any.
What kind of rims?
The Brand name of the wheel is fuel, they are 16” diameter but I’m not sure on the type of wheel or the offset.
Did your spare wheel fall of and hit you in the head?
Lol, woot! woot! I got a comment. “merry Christmas to me / and to all” subscribe for more fun content in the future.
Are those 35s?
Yeah buddy, there 35”x12.5” BFG all-terrains.
@@AndreHaroldDancs so did u have to regear?
@dainkawarrior.1030 I actually didn’t do the work myself I bought it this way, so I’m not sure if it was re-geared or not, it seems to be fine just the way it is though. The gauge says it runs at about 2000 RPM at 105 km an hour. As far as I can tell it seems accurate. I don’t do much hardcore off-roading myself anyways, so even if I did the mods myself, I probably wouldn’t bother changing any gears.
Do u know how many inches the truck was lifted?
You got to open the back door to throw your jacket in the back, just so people know you’ve got suicide doors. Nah really I’ve borrowed an fj for the last 3 weeks and it’s the most annoying car I’ve had.
I will have to make a funny video on the suicide doors soon, just to put more emphasis on them. You’re right, not everything on the FJ is practical but it can be fun and entertaining.
This video gives me brain damage
LOL! “Brain damage” and you lost a few minutes of your life:)
