Homemade toggle switch for the hella lights using toggle # 84896 from oreilly auto parts and one of the blanks under the locker/ foglights etc

 

Finished up the switches! Fits like a glove. Moved the little alarm button to the most inner slot as well

 

Hey. Nice rig. How did you wire up your lights?

 

Thanks! the lights are spliced together for the ground and are grounded to one of the bolts for the locking mechanism for the hood. Power for the lights are directly from batt. Relay is grounded to the battery ground. Tied a knot to a nail for the load wire and poked a hole throigh the rubber gasket on the firewall. Got the power for the switch through splicing to my led interior lights (tail light fuse). Hopefully that makes sence because im all woozy from wisdom tooth prescriptions haha

 

Installed an air raid intake this morning! Got it for free through a friend that had an fj before and after he sold it, it was just sitting in his attic!

 

Any way you can make me a white mt bike shift knob? very cool, nice build also

 

if you have a spare handle bar laying around it isnt that hard. I just put the grip on the bar, cut it, put a nut the correct size and thread and shoved a bunch of hot glue in there... Then i used a spacer on the shaft where it tapers so it has a surface to sit on. Then i grabbed more washers the same diameter as the handlebar and cranked it down tight. The only problem with the knob is since i used a glue gun, the shift knob gets wobbly and all squishy when the truck sits out in the sun. I may try putting a wood shaft inside and then drill a hole through but i have to experiment a bit more. If that one goes well ill let you know so i can make you one thats good quality!

 

Got my front windows tinted with suntek carbon 35%. Had the manufacturer tint removed. Seems a tad bit lighter than the stock rears but then again theres less light in the back.. It is darker from the inside though

 

5100s came in! Eibachs should be coming in around wednesday...

 

Any man that drinks chocolate milk is good in my book!

 

No more amber fog lights... Not sure how i like it but i am going to grab a matching bulb first...

 

Dumped the exhaust right before the axle. Going to grab a turndown in the morning if autozone has cheap ones in stock

 

Can anyone get a mod to move this thread to the 2nd gen build forums? I made this when i was new here

Nice truck, BTW!

 

Thanks! Its back to being a slow build again since school just started up. But im hoping to be mid travel buy around February!

 

Lift installed yesterday. 5100s with Eibachs set at .85 and a Toytec AAL
