Titanium Texas FJ Build Up (txfj81706)

I feel like I am finally at a point where I can show off my rig. This is hands down the most fun I have ever had modding a vehicle. With the exception of the front coils, all the modding occurred in my garage. I'd like to thank all the helpful folks on this forum that helped me along the way.

My FJ began as a Titanium AT 4X4 with a production date of 3/07.

Currently, my mods include:

All-Pro front and rear bumpers
All-Pro Sliders
BFG AT 285's
OME 883's in front
K&N Drop in filter
Denso Iridium plugs
Running Mobil 1 synthetic in engine, diffs, and transfer case
Added A-Trac switch
Completely gutted the factory deck and speakers, but I don't care to go into detail about my sound system.
Black Tundra outside handles (installed 12/28/07 after the pics)
FJoel handles inside

I posted a couple of pics from the day she came home, and a couple from last weekend. I hope everybody out there is enjoying their rig as much as me!

I might update that later. Seems kind of boring to talk about compared to suspension, tires, etc...

Re: Titanium Texas FJ Build Up (txfj81706)

Nice! I've got a Titanium, and it's good to see what All Pro bumpers look like on this model (I've been looking at different bumpers, trying to decide).

How are the OME 883's holding up? I've got the 884's, but if your front end is handling the weight with 883's, then I may not have to bump up the springs. Doesn't look like you've got a winch, right?

Also, how stiff are your rear springs? I've got ToyTec mediums on mine.

I installed myself, probably a 5 out of 10 difficulty. Yes, beer was used for installation. Come by and take a look.

My eventual goal is the All-Pro complete suspension system. The 883's are a band-aid for me. They are holding up ok for now. No winch on the front, I don't want any more weight up front. It might be an option in the future but for now, I haven't really needed one.
