    The FJ box while it bolts right in like it belongs there (because the fender pans for the FJ, Tacoma, 1st gen Tundra, 4th&5th gen 4Runner, some others etc are all the same) would have been hard up again the factory washer bottle so I made a temporary bracket as proof of concept that's somehow become permanent ad I've never had an issue but I did have to shorten my washer bottle to clear the hood.

    I rarely use my washers so losing a 1/5 gallon capacity is whatever.

    I currently have Durobumps on my front and have made good use of them, very very happy with them.

    https://youtu.be/9ANF8q23eY4

    Wheelers on the back but I haven't tested them yet, they seem a lot softer than the Duro's, had Timbrens in rear during that vid.

    PXL_20220111_174456888.jpg

    I'm concerned they're too soft, but a lot of people swear by them, the Durro's feel perfect didn't even realize I had fully bottomed out up front on the little bunny hop.

    The Timbrens were pretty good but they were a little too tall and returned the energy a little too readily, they didn't absorb much they compressed then rebounded equally more like a spring in my experience, probably would have been better with better rear springs but I got what I got for now.

    Even though it's drawing air from behind the radiator (I have the Volant Air Dam similar to the AFE), I'm removing the air dam, capping the air intake for it and installing a Dobinsons snorkel for cleaner air and reduced problems with shallow water crossings.

    Well the on board water system is coming along. Went and picked up the water tank to place on top of the bed rack today. Custom Made! It's sweet. I'll post more pics when entire system is installed. :thumbsup: My Dog is great boy too! He's a 48 lbs 8 month old rescue puppy! Cross Posted in the Georgia BS Thread!

    Since calmini screwed me over and never got around to being a competent company, I had to dig my original bumper out of storage and modify it to work with my fiberglass fenders. 2nd bad west coast company experience recently.


    Not a huge fan, doesn't look as mean as it used to, but It'll do for a while. Still have to do some trimming to get it perfect.

    Just as a side note if you talk a selfie with an iphone it doesn't come out backwards. I had to try it myself as I wasn't sure if it would work but it did! What is does as it seems to be it turns around left to right. Never thought of this before! Or am I overthinking this.

    How’s this? Does it make you feel warm inside?

    Ye. Old Man Emu 2nd iteration of their HD springs plus the middle leaf from a 3rd gen Tacoma for some HD+.

    My first iteration HD springs were sagging hard with my weight.

    My truck in that video loaded out for 'Froadin' tipping the scales around 6000lbs.

    Really I need spec built Deavers but $$$.
