    Thinking if the weather holds I'll be putting Wet Okole Neoprene on the armrests of all four doors, and probably paint the back door panels to match what I have done to the front.

    Here we go... Easy day...Sunny & warm... Let's start:

    1. Modded FJ TRD Centercaps
    Tools used:
    Dremmel with Thin Cut blade
    My Trusty SAK
    Dow 44 Grease - Used a bit on each tab for easier insertion

    Height Difference:
    [​IMG]

    Side to Side Comparison
    [​IMG]

    Cut - note the amount removed
    [​IMG]

    Finished - I used the Snap Ring in the photo - comes with the TRD centercaps
    [​IMG]

    It was easier to snap in place by placing a dab of grease in each tab. Pretty strong hold.

    2. Fumoto Valve Kit installed - Oil Changed, I used the SS Clamp, the other one (red) was a bitch to bite with a pair of pliers w/o flying up in the air.

    [​IMG]

    3. AEF Pro Dry S installed

    [​IMG]

    4. TRD Shift Knob installed

    [​IMG]

    5. Ordered a set of PIAA's 520 and a light bar N-Fab, should be in by the end of this week. More modding on the way!! :woot:
