"Architectural Assault Vehicle" -Memphibious FJ's Buildup Thread

Well, here we go...

I will assume that everybody knows what a VooDoo Blue FJ looks like right off of the lot, so I won't post the typical "Here is where I started..."-type images.

I'll just jump right in with the current photos of my FJ:



If you look closely, you can just see the Peabody Hotel sign just over the driver's side window. The Peabody is a landmark building in Memphis, for those of you who don't know. There ain't much for mountains in Memphis, so we are left with crawling up the architecture!



I am still not sure about the white bezel, I like it, but I am tempted to re-paint it flat black.



I am still trying to figure out what exactly it means, but "Architectural Assault Vehicle" just sounds cool!



This just a close-up of the tire cover. It was just a quick lettering job that has held up much longer than originally intended.

The suspension lift will be installed Saturday and the update with photos will follow shortly. Stay Tuned!

A flat black bezel would look nice on that rig!

Garmin Nuvi 200 installation pics...


I patched into the wiring harness connection for the aux. roof lights with some connectors from Radio Shack after using the voltmeter to determine which leads were powered only when the key has been turned in the ignition. The power cord I am using was cannibalized from a cigarette lighter adapter for the Garmin.


I ran the power cord above the headliner and out the hole for the rearview mirror. (sorry about the dark image)


I cannibalized the window mount for the Garmin and attached it to the cover for the rear-view mirror mount. It is very sturdy and can handle my ape-like repositioning of the Garmin.
