Did the FJ owner have to re-gear after putting on 35” tires?
@xplor_adventure 22 күн бұрын
You know, that’s a very good question. I’m not sure if it’s been re-geared. We bought it with the lift and 35’s a couple years ago. It doesn’t seem overly sluggish so it might be. We re-geared our previous Land Cruiser and it made a difference.

That’s fantastic! What a great feat that will be. We did end up surviving the Rim to Rim. It was an incredible trip. Stay tuned for the video at some point. We’re not really runners but I could see doing the R2R2R on back to back days. That would be a challenge for us.

Follow us on our journey to prepare for the Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim trail - or our 2024 misogi! This Highline hike is a training hike and was inspired by Michael Easter's book _The Comfort Crisis_ About *_The Comfort Crisis_* Michael Easter’s _The Comfort Crisis_ challenges us to break free from our modern comfort zones and experience discomfort as a way to grow stronger, more resilient, and more alive. One powerful idea from the book is the concept of a "misogi"-an intense challenge that stretches us beyond what we think we're capable of. Here at **Xplor Adventure**, we’re helping people find their own misogi by inspiring them to get off the couch, take on the outdoors, and embrace the kind of challenges that lead to real personal growth. Ready to start your journey? Let us know in the comments below what you plan to do! Even if it's as simple as just going camping for one night if you've never been camping.

In reality it’s not that hard, especially if you’re used to rock crawling. It’s more mental than anything when you’re coming down “the steps” with the big drop off on one side and visions of rolled over vehicles who weren’t paying attention in your head. But the switchbacks themselves are easy.
