Following in the footsteps of my last build. 2007 FJ

 

gonna go ahead and save this spot too for the future

 

Did a real small mod this weekend after camping and having some lighting troubles. Ran power to behind the rear seats and put in some LED lights. The adhesive wasn't good enough to stick to the tacoma plastic, so for the time being, the lights are stuck to some gorilla tape.

 

Good buy!

 

That's an awesome rig to start with! Welcome to TW

 

Bad ass, always liked this truck! ​

 

nice dude! Hope you love it as much as I did.

 

Truck looks great!

Good looking truck any photos of the rear I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on the bumper through Pelfrey.

 

@Italia234 Absolutely! Actually now that you mention it, I'm pretty set on selling my bumper and trading in for a bumper with a tire carrier. Would you have any interest in buying the pelfreybilt bumper off me? I was going to post in classifieds but I'm too much of a newb to do it yet (not yet 50 posts). It's in great condition, no scratches or dents... I was thinking 75% of the new price would be fair. Let me know if you're interested.



There's some space on mine between the body and the bumper you'll see, that's so that the natural movement of the body/frame independently doesn't result in you crushing your body panel.

 

Went to Hollister, CA this weekend to do some wheeling and get more familiar with the manual in low range. It was rainy which made it all the more fun! I even got to laugh at my jeep buddy for having something break (again!). Douchey flexing pics included with pleasure.

 

Thanks for the pics Looks awesome!! Dam I would have taken you up on that but shortly after asking for pics I looked around a little and ended up pulling the trigger and calling pelfreybilt.

 

Over the last month or so I've managed to make a few changes.... I followed @inesshell 's snorkel install and it turned out better than I had hoped. There were a few areas where I had to improvise but it worked out well.





I also installed the Pelfreybilt high clearance rear bumper in place of my old Pelfreybilt standard rear to have a place to put my tire. I did the cutting and installation of this bumper at 11pm before leaving the next morning at 6am for death valley!

 

DEATH VALLEY! Here's a pic dump of my trip to Death Valley. We followed a trip made by some of the guy at Expedition portal, found HERE

 

Gotta close up pic of the front of the snorkel? Just curious on the gap between the snorkel and the fender. Did you fill the hap with something? Looks good and clean.

 

Truck looks great, really made some awesome improvements. Death Valley trip looked awesome.

 

nice looking good dude! i always knew it needed a snorkel. good to see its getting used.

this is what i'm rocking nowadays.

 

Hey man, I used FIPG aka gasket maker around the edges of the snorkel to get a good seal. I can take some close up pictures for you, it worked out very well.
