GNARLY (MIGZ's Trail Team Build)

Well its OFFICIAL I took delivery of my TT today and plan to start moding tomorrow since we have a dinner to go to today.

The name of my FJ is "GNARLY"

GNARLY

1. Gnarly is when you've gone beyond radical, beyond extreme, it's balls out danger, & or perfection, & or skill or all of that combined.

2. Adjective; used to describe anything really far out and amazing, not necessarily lovely; an extraordinary stunt, or event.

3. Grotesque, yet awesome

  • Fab Fours Front Bumper w/Grill Guard
  • Warn Winch XD9000i
  • K&N Air Filter
  • M-Pac Storage
  • Hi-Lift Jack Rack Mounts
  • Hi-Lift Jack
  • Tow Hitch
  • Tow Hitch wiring
  • Billet Door Sills
  • Rock Rail Steps

In the Mail:
  • Front Window Tint
  • 3" ToyTec Lift w/shocks
  • Synthetic Winch Line

Re: GNARLY (MIGZ's Trail Team Build)

You are gonna LOVE that front bumper. If you are gonna do the install just make sure you use the right hardware in the right places. The dealer installed mine and screwed it all up. Had to be totally redone. They completely left off SIX bolts!!! Also, there are six studs that I think held on the OEM bumper. you have to make sure you put the nuts back on those six studs when the new bumper is on. There are three on each side and they are arranged in a vertical row. You're bumper will not be tight if you don't have those six bolts on.

Re: GNARLY (MIGZ's Trail Team Build)

Time to throw some "before" pictures up so that we can see the before/after difference.
