Inspired by another member, @krob32. See this post. @bullaculla also got some.

Customer service (Matt) is very responsive, and he confirmed he already had the art on file from Kelly's original request. Five basic logo colors are available. I am going with the gray, too.

 

And Coopers ordered, $191 each. Appointment made for 7:30 am Saturday install. Now I just need the lugnuts to show up.

Will look like this Saturday afternoon. Except the SCS logos will be black. And the bed will be the correct length.

 

Front end?

 

Still need some good painting day conditions (and any days with some free time ) for the AC condenser and the FJ emblem colormatch, which I want to apply before I install the grill so it is easier to position it accurately on the bench top.

Also, focusing on some functional mods first. Trailer plug relocate done, I have everything for rear diff breather, and dem tahrs fer dem offroads.

 

In!

 

Nice tip, thanks. I will need to paint the rear hub center anyway. I'll put this on the list with my other minor "good painting day" tasks.

 

Good thinking. Also the front hub can use it too. Here's my drum painted before I added the rear Fox Shocks.

 

Lugs, socket, and "monkey bar" arrived. All set for Saturday.

 

I've got to get one of those... using the lug adapter on the OEM tire wrench sucks...

 

That's what I figured. Only $14 or something, and it telescopes for storage convenience.

 

Jason freaked me out about the lug type being incorrect, but apparently it (the lug bore) has been changed since he got the very first set of F5s, into which ET lugs were no go.

 

Cooper ST Maxx 265/75 16 = 55 lb
Diameter unmounted off truck 30.5 in.

Mounted and inflated, 32 on the money

 

Spare does not quite fit right, but when I have time, a little Crom BFH action should sort it out. Hope to avoid relocating the hoist.

 

Looking Good!! Nice combo!
