The Build-up of the Arc'Teryx

[codymurfy]

It all started with the 6mt TI, and a new job. This thing immediately started sucking my $ in, from the first mod: a flowmaster single chamber exhaust. From then on, this thing sucks in my money, and looks cooler with every mod. I have to thank all of you guys here for the info, as I have taken many ideas from all of you.

In the beginning:


Took my buddy to see what we could do in it-Old jeep trail up Figuroa MT off the Catway.




Exterior(In order of installation):
Flowmaster Single Chamber
ARB Roof Rack with Mesh Floor
2 Hella Ralleye 4000's (Drilled through ARB rack to mount)
3" Lift and Level Kit
Gobi Ladder
5% Tint(Limo) on all windows except windshield(I like to see at night while Cruising.)
Most Recent(From Dragon and Shadow Warrior):Rattle can basically all exterior plastic.

Shoes:
It took me a long time to choose what to make my FJ stand on, and I wanted to get the most out of my stock tires. Alot of people complained about these(granted they are a terrible tire), but I took this thing every where including Pismo where I pulled my buddies lifted F150 on 35" BFG All Terrains. I ended up putting on 295-75-16 Nitto Terra Grapplers with 16" American Racing Chambers.
I did not need a spacer on either. It is a tight fit, but no problems really.

Interior:
Radar Detector(Has saved me from cops sooo many times. Not that I speed, only that the cops in the Santa Ynez Valley get extremely bored, and will find any reason they can to pull you over. Especially if they are jealous of the FJC.)
Scan Guage 2
I-Pod Mount
Kicker CVR 12 & MTX Amplifier(any good ideas on where to mount this thing?)
Perfect Storage Solution for under $150, but due to my lack of stock sub, I had to play around with templates to get this thing snug.
2 9" Red Neon Lights (From Shadows) for Night Vision
Surefire G2 with red filter and holster, mounted behind center console
The "Dont Do It" sticker. Good reality check.


Coming up soon:
Suspension(OME/KING/ICON) still not sure...I am leaning towards the OME heavies in the front and mediums in the back? Any body running that?



(Pictures will arrive shortly-Bored at night in Mammoth w/o camera)
