FJ60 going 175...

83FJ604ME · 06-30-08, 11:42 PM

Miles that is...it just getting broken in and the odometer was stuck at 174,999 for like 30 miles, but she finally turned over to 175. The wife and I took the pooch Cruzin through Kings Canyon National Park last weekend...it sure was nice up there. I also recently added the lights to my rack...what do you think?

where did you run your wiring? Also have you turned these on at night? I found that lights on a roof rack makes for some serious glare off the hood even with faded paint.

it does look good though.

Haha...you got me! I have not hooked up the wiring yet because I have a small superficial rust spot I want to take care of before wiring the lights up. My head liner is pretty tore-up, so finding a good spot to run the wiring should not be too hard. If you would like, I could let you know how it goes when I am finished.
