    Actually, I was trying to start a new look! Seriously though, it is a good example of why they don't want to offer an OFF ROAD TRD in a long bed... if I am able to do this with the short bed! :rolleyes:

    Just after it happened... we have since been able to get it closer to where it started. :eek:

    I usually think they look "ghey" also especially on smaller trucks but once I added the four HID's up top I cant tell you how thankful I have been to have that on there... It saves my eye balls from blinding light reflection. Plus I took it off once but there are some pretty good sized holes from the people who owned it before me mounting it that I didnt want to take care of.

    My bank account. :eek:

    I managed to push my front differential through my upper oil pan during the race. That's now fixed along with all the little things that went along with it.

    This winter I went wheeling locally and put the passenger side into a tree. New door should be arriving this week. Mechanically the truck's fine. Just a few enhancements I have lined up for when I have time and money. (stiffer springs front and rear, bumpstops all around, yet another set of skidplates, etc.) It's a never-ending project. :)

    This is by far one of my favorite trucks on TW. I was following a build thread you had a while ago. Im looking to maybe build a bed rack like you made once I finish my rear bumper. Also where and how much did you get those wheels for? I want to get them, they are the FJ TRD wheels right?
