Looks great Layton! The picture with ARB sliders has skids on them. Are they modded or does ARB ship them like that? I've never noticed those.

They are sold separate. I picked the skids up from trdparts4u for cheap and the sliders from torasport.
The sliders have little square holes built for adding them via carriage nuts. Helps keep things from getting lodged in between the arms of the sliders. Also, if/when i pick up an air jack, hopefully from the group buy, these will make the point the jack lifts from a little wider and safer to use. Still waiting on the titan 4ton air jack group buy.

Re: Layonnn's Voodoo Build

Alright i talked to my brother today, and tomorrow i am going over to my family's shop and picking out what leather set-up i want in the FJ. I am thinking solid black with the middle insert being black, perforated leather.

Re: Layonnn's Voodoo Build

Very nice looking rig!

Do you have any idea how the swampers do in snow?

Hmm, i have never seen snow. So, nope
They are not siped (could be easily i assume) So, on ice they would probably be slippery. I am guessing they would do pretty good in deep snow due to their very open lug design, but just a guess.

Re: Layonnn's Voodoo Build

Keep the pics coming Layton. You guys do very different wheeling then the socal
folks and it's fun to see. We tend to see more rocks/sand/hard pack dirt then mud.

RockyMtnHigh,
The LTBs are not very good for snow. The big lugs tend to dig in. As Layton said, siping will help. When I find a cheap groover, I'm going to sipe mine.

Ah, thanks Kim,
Okay, so my Dad and brothers business had a grandopening event at their new location they moved to today. Figured it was a good time to go buy check out the new shop (which is ridiculously bigger than the last), play with my dog, and eat some great jambalya.
While i was there, the Katzkin rep was there as well. I talked to my brother about getting some Black leather seats with memory foam and extra lumbar padding put in. Also, to get the FJ cruiser logo in dark grey on the seats. Oh, and i am i getting this at dealer cost, yay. I know some of you fringe and say "ugh, leather in a 4x4?" . I find these seats to be quite uncomfortable. It was the only thing i didn't like in the test drive. Maybe it's because i am a skinny guy (6'1" 180).

I have a scanguageII coming from Dirty Parts. (thanks Larry)

On the way home, stopped by Pepboys and picked up a safety hammer. Lot's of rivers, lakes, and streams near here. Don't wanna be stuck inside my vehicle under water with no working power windows and pressure too great to open the door.

Re: Layonnn's Voodoo Build

This is the one I was wating for since I relate with him on most issues and here it is, very functional, down to earth and great looking machine with all the right gear to have fun, including that great looking man's best friend. Very, very nice Layonnn.
