Great start on your build, Cody!! :bigthumb:

Can't wait to see more pics. Especially some interior shots!!

 

Building...

Heres an update of what she loooks like:
Before tires:

Now:

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)

(Ran the wiring from lights down under A-Pillar and siliconed the top)

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.



More picture coming soon, and pictures of W. Camino Cielo-

 

Looks great Cody!

 

Looks great Cody.

I am running the OME Heavies in front and Mediums in Back.

It ridess great, but with my All Pro rear bumper and the Tuffy box in back, I''ll be changing the back springs to Heavies as well.

P.S. - I like you signature image (looks familiar)

:bigthumb:

 

Some pics of the "Beast:rocket: " offroad
West Camino Cielo run(Cold, windy, and hailing):

UPDATE
Still waiting on Icon rear coil-overs and Cobra 75 with Bandi mount Set-up!

 

Looking good Cody! We should try to link up. I want to give Camino Cielo a try sometime but heard it's tricky to find. I'm trying to learn more about the small group of FJ owners in Lompoc so we can do a trail run. Or river run (I'm having my share of fun down there...) The Pismo Jamboree is also going down in September.

Finally, I really want to hear that Flowmaster exhaust of yours!

 

nice build! will post mine as well once we've completed it :rocker:

 

Nice build cody. I love the blacked out bits.

 

I'm thinking about the flowmaster for mine, how loud is it and what kind of cash is involved? :cheers:

 

Looking good man, looking good!

 

Nice shots! Goodluck to you and looking forward to see more pics.This is very interesting!More power!

What's new?

Cody, we just moved to Oregon so new terrain to learn and people to meet! Southern/Central CA will always be a special place, including many good times at Pismo...

So, what was the Flowmaster cost? How are the AR Chambers holding up? (Saw them on a TI FJ in NorCal and loved 'em.) Thanks. Maybe you can hit some trails with CentralCalFJ. Have fun in the 805! :wave:

 

Thanks to everybody. I have checked out for quite some time performing other duties (student), but with the weather starting to clear-up here in Boulder, CO I think its time to get excited for some runs again. Maybe Moab (fins 'n' things or starters) on the way back to California after this semester?

The flowmaster ran me 150 installed, and it soungs GREAT. Still no problems but definitely increases the intimidation factor on the road. Chambers are holding up great as well. A couple years into the the only issue I have had is cracking one of the plastic end caps, which honestly was bound to happen wheeling around rocks. No chips or anything in the teflon coating. But yes lets get some runs going in so cal and beyond this summer. Im ready-whose in?

Anyways I think its time to get back on the mod train. The other rigs are all lookin great guys. Keep it up
