Bought the car on Jan 17, 2011 and here is the build so far.

I promised myself i wouldn't mod this car, and it really did look good out of the box but i caught the mod bug early...

closed the deal at $29,395. my first new car and paid "invoice"... and im loving how bad it looks stock...

obligatory at the dealer pics...

[quacktoduck]

[quacktoduck]

metal tech open house in a week on the 26th will have that installed

next month is the borla XR1 and if the budget permits some spidertrax spacers 1.5 all around.

 

[quacktoduck]

and another bday present arrived...

GO huskies vanity plates arrived!

i gotta thank [email protected]

he hooked me up, morimoto mini d2s, h4 relay kit and apollo shrouds

the retrofit source is a great place to pick up these kits and matt has an FJ himself so he knows how easy it is to install.

ill have a write up on how to install a true bixenon conversion.

thanks for looking so far. more to come!

 

[Imperial AT-FJ]

:clap: Stormtrooper, I was so jealous when these were released! Looks good man keep up the good work!

You should give it a designation like "TK 1138" (TK means stormtrooper, then any 4 numbers you like)! :cheers:

 

[Joeisip811]

So far so good :bigthumb: I hope you know that there's no cure for mod Bug Virus :lol: :lol: :lol: it will only temporarily cure you once new mods are installed :lol:

Keep them mods coming!!!!

 

[quacktoduck]

haha thanks i always loved starwars growing up so it was apparent.

I dont know yet but since ARB and metal tech so close i will most likely get more parts locally. ARB headquarters is less than 25 miles from my work. so the lift will most likely be OME med. on the silver billys

skids are next and maybe a rigid light bar and a basket.

Looks good Duck! Are you keeping the 35s?

 

[quacktoduck]

Looks good Duck! Are you keeping the 35s?

no im going to 16s and 285s i was considering 315s but i didnt like the outcome for a daily driver.

im gonna go with duratracs. 35s are way too big maybe if i took off the spacers it would be better but gas mileage and the stress to key suspension components dont warrant them. im borrowing them from John at ACR&O

i just sold my demello gift certificate so i might buy some rear flairs now. and save up for the 4/5th set of wheels. lol

 

[Helmut_S]

35s don't really help on the FJ anyway, unless you do a lot of other stuff!
Nice build page, Duck :rocker:

 

[kualenamanao]

Nice build! Represent the 808. The shift knob is pretty sick and I like the pocket flare only on the front tires.

 

[quacktoduck]

what started as this
