5. side routed exhaust pipe
6. redesign the puffy taillights- take out about 30 psi and it will look good 
7. ARB lockers option from the factory
8. More attention to functional features inside- grabhandles were mentioned earlier, various pockets and tie-downs (like a good backpack w/ a place for everything). Do something with the huge blank spot at the passenger side.
9. Relocate the front bodymounts. This is a hinderance to upsizing tires and 1" back would make life alot easier for people. |
Oops! I forgot to mention the suspension issues earlier. Stronger control arms would have saved me $$$ as I have already bent one climbing a rock.
Also rear lower links are a common point of failure. We saw this with the Toyota Trail team run, when several FJC's bent theirs on rocks. The heavier replacements are easy to manufacture and support the weight of the truck if dragged over an obstacle (proven), and that forward bracket is kinda in the way...
