i just got the valves replaced and had the TPMS sensors removed from all the tires to help prevent this from happening again...The valve and nut that held the TPMS in place were metal which prevents any bending so if it gets hit by a rock, it just breaks. the new valves are rubber and will flex a bit before breaking.


you can find a few pics here...

I did not make that line
I gave it 3 or 4 tries and almost had it but my rear driver tire kept falling into a pretty big hole on what you know is a nice incline. I think 37s or a front locker would have got me up

The FJ did well. I think I'm gonna buy one!
I do want to see an FJ on some off-camber stuff where flex is required(front and rear same time). Funny thing is...I already checked out this FJ for its rims in Sacramento. I drive past his barber shop 3-4 times a week. Good to meet him and drove past yesterday already and honked.
