Added lights to the top off roof rack as well over the winter. Drive shafts, brakes and exhaust next and then hopefully get this thing finally rolling down the trail to work out any bugs.

Finally got working on my rear axel. Ordered a Prorock 60 High Pinion axel from Dynatrac with blank tubes and axel brackets from Barnes 4x4. Had to do a few mods to the brackets but everything turned out great and was able to keep the geometry, linkage and suspension from the FJ80 with the new...

Just got the roof back from linex! Turned out great. Windows and seals next.

Rear taillights are made by JW Speaker. The holes were minimal 4 corners for the hardware and one small hole to pull wires through.
