Some of you know that I bought a single owner farm-used FJ62 about 2 years ago. Since that time, I gutted the interior and sent it off full of parts to Mudrak in Sonoma. Got it back yesterday - on my 40th birthday. What a perfect present.
Gary not only installed the OME Heavy kit, he rebuilt the front ends (from birfs out). We installed new rims (fronts w/ 1/4" spacers) and tires. ARB winch bar and Warn winch. ARB roof rack. Rear bumper made by 2badFJs. Rear interior with leather seat kits by AATLAS1X. Custom door panels and new carpet.
OH, the interior was brown. Now it's gray!
He also blacked out the entire truck. We added sliders and what else... Oh yeah, she got a whole new paint job (original color). Rear 3 windows were tinted, but not as dark as I like, so I'll probably go much darker on rear 5 windows.
The engine got all new rubber and belts, spark, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, etc...
Gary is pretty attentive to detail. While I classify myself as incredibly anal, he's pretty close. He replaced the antenna with a new one because it wasn't working 100% (only partly), he replaced all the side indicator lights with new ones because they were drying out. He Lined all the doors so they're more solid, less tinny and definitely quieter.
It's a whole different truck from the one I took there nearly 2 years ago. Highly recommend his work, especially if you're not in a hurry. He has so much backlog (over 2 dozen 40's and 60's in the shop) I don't know where he finds the time.
So enough talkin'. Here are some pics.
New home:
Now I get to tackle the parts in my garage:
Hellroaring dual battery kit
H4 lamp upgrade with upgraded harness.
CB
New stereo & speakers
fogs, rear lamps, auxiliary lamps.
Rowland's rear storage (already has it in the gate).
and other little things.
I'm going to TRY to take this week off work and tackle as much of this as possible. Stay posted here for updates...
