    I forgot to take pics of the weatherpack connector I used for taking the shell off. The black one is for the LEDs, and the white one is for the 3rd brake light, they put it in when they installed the shell.
    Here are moar pictures!

    Great lookin taco, was wondering if you have gone up to 285's yet? I have the same suspension setup minus the uca's and im curious because im getting low on tread and want to step it up to 285's but dont want to trim up too much and dont really want wheel spacers. any input appreciated, keep up the good work!

    I havent yet. I am debating going up a size or just putting some MTs on it. If I do go up I think I will get new wheels and go the 255/85R16 route. But I am kind of stuck with where to go right now. I kind of want to find a first gen 4runner or an older land cruiser and build it. My wife is having a hard time with me wanting to cut this truck up and actually start wheeling it hard. I want to start hitting trails like slick rock, and the rubicon, and moab. If I had something older she wouldnt care about me putting dents and scratches in it. These tires still have about half tread on them so I have some time to figure it out. Nathan(traction120) is running this same suspension setup as I am and he is running 285s. You might give his build a look.

    TJ, what brand are those LED rope lights? I've been looking around trying to find some but haven't yet decided which ones to go with yet.

    I'm not sure. I'll look over them again when I get home. I couldnt find any information on them the first time I looked, but I may have missed something.

    Nice, I think you might have to trim your grill though if you plan to mount them on the bumper.

    I was PMing back and forth with a guy a while back who has these on his relentless bumper. He said they will mount up, but they don't shine out as far as they should because the grill is in the way. I don't have a problem hacking up my grill, I already did a little bit for a hole for my winch controller. I eventually want to do a deep lip satoshi anyway soooo...


    Here is his PM

    Got one fender straightened out, and the old paint off. Got a few coats of primer on it. Also got the taillight brackets primed.

    Got my lights mounted. They fit perfect. I wont have to trim anything. You can see in the last two pics the clearance. There is probably an inch or so before it gets into the grill. Now I just have to either build a harness, or go the lazy route and buy the lightforce one. Anyhow, they look great. I cant wait to get them lit up!
    Ugh, my shit is filthy.
