    The orange LEDs look different. Less burnt orange and more orange. A lot smoother light tone though. As for the dome light and map lights, everybody should get these!!! :eek:

    As a warning to everybody that decides to get these. They DO NOT work without the key in the accessory or on position. You must wrap/solder resister on the connections like so for them to work like the stock bulbs.

    The only (minor) downside is if you turn those puppies on, there is NO way you will be able to see anything else until you turn those lights off

    I've had the timing belt and water pump changed. I probably need to change the plugs and wires.

    Thanks! What's wrong with an auto!? I'd love to get some wet okoles, but they're not high on my priorities right now...
    I wasn't expecting them to be so bright! Haha

    Brent, question for ya...

    How close are your fronts from eating the fenders (normal turning, stuffed, stuffed'n'turning)? I'm going to be running roughly the same setup as far as wheels go, though I'm a little bigger in tire width. 15x8 wheels with 3.75" back spacing with .25" spacers on the front.

    I've been psyching myself up for having to butcher my fenders, but it doesn't look like you had to.

    Thanks! Jealous of yours!

    I have exactly the setup you described. Did the pinch weld mod, removed the mud flaps, and trimmed just a tad bit up plastic on the inside of the valence and towards the cab.

    3.75" backspacing for the front is perfect, but the back could be tucked in a little more because at full stuff the rear tires hit my fender flares.
    It was! Haha I'm about to post a ton of pics of the Thrill on the Hill FJ Rally trip from this weekend.
