    OK, so figured its time I make a thread for this now.

    Started out with this:

    2011 Trail Team Edition FJ Cruiser
    4wd + Locking Rear Differential + ATRAC
    Automatic Transmission
    Factory Rock Sliders, Roof Rack
    Black TRD Wheels
    Blacked out Bumpers
    265/75/16 BFG A/T's

    SOOO, it was badass to start with, but of course I quickly wanted to do stuff to it. First up was some new shoes. I wanted taller tires and figured I might as well go up the BFG M/T while I was at it. 285/75/16 KM2's installed:

    Giving them a quick test in the woods:

    And in some mud:

    Next up, it was time for the suspension upgrades. Installed the rear shocks and coils from the Rough Country kit:

    Deciding against installing the front spacers, and order some Toytec adjustable coilovers instead:

    Full 3 inch Lift Complete.

    Next up came this hood decal, which wasn't fun to install:

    Next up was this homemade Hi-Lift jack mount, made from u-bolts:
