Sweeet!

I'm liking FJ's more and more everyday. I hope I can have an FJ and a Taco one day.

You going to stick some lights in the ARB?

Thanks,

I hope to as well,

Someday, right now I'm more focused on making her more butch. I have some ideas for lighting in the future, including lighting up the interior a little better with some LED's

Great looking rig.

lsocoee · 09-26-2008, 07:17 AM

If somebody would quit spending all his money on his FJ, maybe somebody could afford to get another Tacoma.

socalman22 · 10-10-2008, 09:58 AM

Nice FJ Banshee would be nice to put that compressor in my truck. Man the possibilities.

mjp2 · 10-10-2008, 10:28 AM

Those are some serious mods! That thing doesn't even look like a Tacoma anymore!

Update.

Here is a pic with the winch installed!!!! And out on the trail.

FYI on the air compressor. The thing rocks!!!! I was able to air up 4 265/75 R16's from 15psi to 36psi in about 10 minutes.

Banshee · 11-03-2008, 07:51 PM

Newest mod.

Lights, and not for the front or back of the rig.

A little gripe of mine is the lack of light near the front of the console. At night it's a pain to find anything in that area. So i solved the problem with some 10mm led's.
Before with flash.

Without flash (camera sucks at night shots without tripod)

And now light.

LonghornTaco · 11-03-2008, 07:56 PM

pics didn't come through...

Shadow-Warrior · 11-03-2008, 08:01 PM

Yeh, the pic's didn''t show up?

I would like to see how they came out.
