    Well I figured I would finally start a thread for my build.

    Side before lift

    Well i added Toytech coilover's, TC UCA's, 2in. AAL, Rear bilstein 5100's, FJ cruiser Trail Teams Black Wheels, And 285/75/16 BFG MT KM2's. I do have to say with this set up i have ZERO rubbing of the tires, went from full lock to full lock in both forward and reverse, as well as on uneaven terrain, and nothing. Painted both lower center portion of the bumper, as well as the grill with semi-gloss black. Also debaged the truck.

    Inside i completely re-did the stereo, Hated the wiring but turned out great. Sound is a HUGE difference.

    And Wet Okoles

    Next is possibly a grillcraft with some PIAA's behind it, and a UWS black toolbox, just cant decide if i want the low pro or the single lid. Also thinking of changing the headlight bulbs to some PIAA intense whites, and also some Nokya Hyper yellows for the fogs.
