So what is more reflective?

Your wax job, or that guy's dome in the background?

Uninstalled my K40 magnet mount, finished running the coax tot he CB through the cabin, and found a delightfully easy way to have the coax almost totally hidden,a nd definitely out of the way with few headaches. Cleaned out the back while I was at it.

Now looking for suggestions on how to mount maxtrax. wouldnt it be cool if there was a mount to have it flush to the celing inside?

The aggressive texturing would be awesome, especially in black, unless you just used them, in which case not so much, I can feel the sand on my scalp right now.

It would still look cool.

Just installed Nitto TG size 295/70/17 and it looks like I got 1/4" from the body mount when at full turn. So I'm guessing I might be ok. Got a smoking deal from Discount tire direct on line, 205.00 each. No tax and free shipping. Price matched a competitor easy-pezy. They are super quiet compared to my Goodyear MTRs I had.

Trail Grapplers? Where was the price match from?

 

[CptnStinkFinger]

That is good! Thanks

Did you use an adhesion promoter? I didn't on some Di-Noc put on the front grill and hood scoop. Lasted about a year then started to web. I wonder if the promoter would have helped.

I need to learn how to uninstall my girl friend...

Just install new girlfriend, she will most likely displace the old one. If not, you have just made the perfect move and you should keep both!
I really don't see how you can lose on this.

I want to hear about the Cleghorn run today...rumor has it that something happened :huh:

or
Like Body Shop something happened...

How did you get the Outside Pillar piece off. Mine looks riveted on. Even Toyota could not get it off. Mine has no nut on the inside, just a rivet like rod sticking out. Any suggestions? Ran my wires under the headliner and out the back thru the rack. Its a pain.

There really is a nut at the base of that rod (like most). I removed mine (cover, not nuts, just the one nut, on the truck) the cover fits very tightly and you have to replace the plastic clips. Not worth it, much easier to run wire on the inside or under the windshield seal.

Lubed my shaft...

Too much info...

i cant afford rigids for step lights.

its a flexible led strip. might be 45 or so leds there. one thing i dont like is from a distance on the side, you can see the strip. i prefer them to be totally hidd hidden. ill scratch my head on that one down the road.

The dimming is awesome!

Were the led units specified as "dimming" or did it just work out that way?

JUST a straight power tap to dome circuit (location?) got you the dimming?

Also, Do you warn people to apply SPF 30 before approaching your rig?

 

[CptnStinkFinger]

That is excellent, I just found out what to do with my old iPhones!

 

[CptnStinkFinger]

Forbidden fun is the best kind of fun.

Fit an overhead console from a disco into th FJ. Now we can keep maps, guides, reports, tax filings overhead. Stole it from the BlueRoom.

 

[CptnStinkFinger]

Nice! Where did you source the LR overhead compartment?

Salvaged from eBay $50 shipped, local yards wanted $120 and I had to pull it.

 

[CptnStinkFinger]

This is so freakin sweet!!!!!
How long did the entire job take you?

Two hours, took our time with the trimming to get a good fit.
