First trip for the FJ to the Tillamook Forest. Less then a week old. First mod was the 16" steel rims and snow tires. A must for me due to the amount of times I ski each year.


The first Group run ( Bernd, Tim, and Bryan) and the run that started my mod madness. Two weeks old and I ripped my front mud flaps off. That night I bought Trail Gear Sliders.

Very nicely done. I like the clean install on the light switches. Clean job all around. You are dialed in. You've deserve a day in the dirt, now go have some fun.

Just one more example reminding me that I need a lift. Anybody want to help a college student on a budget?

Try to jump in on a group buy or get a used lift from the forum. I had a spacer lift and switch to an OME. Very happy and should have done the OME first. I would gladly help install, you pay the airfare though.

Thanks. Yah I've always liked to work on my vehicles that way when something goes wrong on the trail you have a better chance in knowing how to deal with it.
