Well, I put my home made light bar on my roof rack this weekend, and some cheap rectangular lights. I wanted to put my 6 and 7 inch lights I have from off my taco up there but I got worried about clearance and tree limbs and such so opted for something a little more low profile. I think I got about $60 in it all together. I also put two lights on the back of the roof rack too. Got every thing wired up Sunday and it all looks good. I got to adjust the front light just a little, and that should do it. I’m going to get a brush guard for the front and mount either the 6in or 7in lights I got there.
Oh, I also installed a stainless steal exhaust tip and my Ham radio under the seat and display next to the 4x4 shifter and antenna on the back door.

Nice start to your build. just an FYI I would maybe rethink having your Ham radio under the seat if you plan on going through any water,. InvisibleJ found out the hard way when he got stuck in the water crossing.. burned his up.. Looking good bro, nice color too..

Yeah, Thought about that, and well, haven't thought of anywhere ealse to put it yet.
Added some more photos, you beat me to it.
Still wish I could get them tires from you, I have been trying to come up with an excuse to go to the GSM so i could swing by there and get them, oh well, maybe something will come up.

Got to go exploring this weekend in the Bankhead, and rode out an old road that is nothing more than a path though the woods now to a old cemetery that I always was afraid of taking my Tacoma down for fear of getting stuck, picked up some scratches, had of pull a fallen tree out of the path, had to use A-Trac for a large mud hole, got some chiggers, one tick (three for my buddy that went with me), and a Fresh Coat of Alabama Mud.
Down at the cemetery, end of path.
Back at the start of the path on way out.
Alabama Mud....
Back home.
More Mud.
Clean up time.
