    Thanks zbaldo

    Na, not yet. Cut the fenders today, so much room now. Trying to line up a deal for 35's, have a set of Duratrac's for a smokn deal but would still like a mud tire.

    Next to do is cut and build my leaf pack then install a shackle flip, doing the 6'' trail gear shackle. Want to see how much lift that gives before doing the shock relocate, might try to get a 13'' shock made up or see if a 14 will fit, doubtful tho.

    Thanks Gramps, wasn't too difficult, just time consuming.

    Broke a bunch of fender clips taking them off. Went to Toyota, I know the parts guy well :cool: He pretty much didn't want to give me a price for a good reason, $1.89ea for the blue and $5.50 ea for red :eek:

    Ordered a bunch of Amazon but still cost $30 #2ndgenproblems :D

    Sweet! Yeah I got to practice the fender trim on NYCO's truck in my garage. Got a handle on things for when I do mine. Tips we learned doing this were:


    • Buy a bag of clips online (as you did)
    • We added in bolts and wing nuts on the ends of the plastic fenders in place of the clip to insure a sold hold.
    • An electric Sheet metal cutter(HF) cuts the fender very smoothly and very nicely. :D
    • Patent Pending measurement tool coming out soon... :spy:
    I am just happy to see one in my color completed. So I know exactly what it will look like.



    Keep up the awesome work!

    Ya with that the Fj stick would come up right under the auto shifter

    I still haven't done my twin stick shifter yet, I'm thinking about a crawl box next spring so might hold off :anonymous: don't want to cut up my $200 shifter for couple months of use.

    I don't have a 4wd ecu so I can control the front diff actuator (ADD) with a switch essentially its like locking the hub. Then I can just shift my tcase into gear, don't have to worry about all the wiring and electronics with a Tacoma case + the FJ case is stronger and better then the Taco one.

    Still got a long todo list to work on. Been wheelin too much lately

    And got some damage. Front fender bent, bumper broke off mount and the light and grill are not aligned anymore. Time for a front bumper. :cool:
