This thing is too much fun!!

Mod's:
Swapped out 17' Alloys for Stock Steelies
Hankook 285/70R'17 RT03's
Bandi Mount
Cobra 75wxst
3' Firestick tuneable antenna
Highlift mounts off Ebay (the anodized black ones)
OME medium lift all the way around
Added OEM tow hitch
Scuba Driver mod
Trail Gear Sliders
Homemade Radiator protector skid
And the FJ Cruiser Forums sticker For cool points






The Lift:
It took a buddy and myself about 4 hours mostly driven by anticipation. I think it turned out pretty well and the install wasn't all that hard to do considering I never installed a lift before. I used some of the install directions on this forum that were very well put together. I went with the OME mediums all the way around with 285/70R17 Hankook Dynapro RT03's. I am greatly pleased with the results!!

Before:


After:


Before:


After with the Trail Gear rock sliders installed:


My homemade radiator protection. Just a little security from hidden debris. This will get me by until I can afford some real skids.



My homemade Hi-lift mounts, not pretty just effective. Don't really like them too much so I have some other ones coming from e-bay soon.


And now for my favorite. My Scuba Driver mod. I followed Shadow-Warriors write up for this here SCUBA Driver Transmission, Transfer Case, Rear Differential & E-Locker Breather MOD
I placed mine on the passenger side and fabricated a bracket to accommodate three spectre filters.


Added 10/27/2008:
Picked up some steelies for 150 bucks with the stock Bridgestones on Craigslist. I mounted my Hanny's on them:

Added the Bandi mount, 3' firestick, and Cobra75wxst:

See ya!!

The rock sliders when they get here tomorrow and the hitch so I can finally tote my boat around again.

Re: OME lift is installed!! Pics included

Looks great!! I just got the same lift but havent had a chance to install yet. In the pics it looks to sit level, is that true. I have the same size tires too, how high is it to the top of the roof rack. Just want to know if it will still fit in garage. What happened to the side bare in the before pics?
