I've had the DR stage 1 on my FJ for a couple of months now, been wheeling with it several times. I have been very happy with it so far.

Walcott also sells a complete FJ CB kit that revolves around the Cobra 75 and a Bandi Mount: http://www.walcottcb.com/bigbillcombo-p-1090.html This kit has been installed by several FJ owners, a few reviews of which are at the bottom of the page.

Finished mine a couple of weeks ago. Here is the complete write-up on it: http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/interior-exterior-visual-tech/24459-my-rear-storage-box-build.html

Now all Black Cherry would be worth talking about. :)

Same here. I just spent about five minutes washing out the whole bay with high pressure. No problems.

The Bud Built skiddies were installed this afternoon complete with a fresh coat of black paint. I will not rest until I have scratched some of that paint off. Abuse us inevitable.

Excellent, will have to get that. I did not realize that Walcott sold the Bandi now. I am running with a handheld and a magnetic mount as a stopgap presently until I get up the gumption for the wiring run inherent to a permanent install.

The onroad ride with the Hoes is at least as good as stock, if not better. I have had the Hoe stage 1 suspension on my FJ for a few weeks now and am very happy with it. I ordered mine from Jason at Demello and was very happy with the transaction. $1450 shipped gets you the stage 1 (front...

Agree, a comparably-equipped FJ will not be much cheaper than a TRD. You have to ask yourself a couple of questions here: 1. Are you in love with the all-black coloring of the TRD as compared to one of the other 4 colors with the white roof? 2. Do you plan on upgrading much? The...

I have a soft spot in my heart for the old VWs. My first car was a '78 VW Dasher diesel. Remember those? And I...uh...became a man...in the back of an Audi 5000. :)

Put the sub in yourself. The only difference between UP1 and UP2 is the subwoofer itself. Unless I have been misinformed, the wiring is already there. There are a couple of companies that already make sub enclosures that fit nicely on that "shelf" where the factory sub goes. I was in a...

Or just buy your FJ a new tank of premium gasoline and tell it you love it.

285 BFG ATs on the OEM 17s. I have been very pleased with them and they do much better in mud than I would have thought. The gameplan is to get some 16 steelies and throw some MTs on there in the future and switch them out as needed. For that I am leaning towards the Hankooks.

There are a few reasons why I am going with 3/4", and it has to do with durability/thickness. 1. I am routing channels where the pieces go together so I can glue and screw for a tight fit. A 1/4" channel would be half the thickness of 1/2" plywood and that doesn't give me a warm fuzzy...

I have two alarms like that, only older. Trust me, they are not cost-effective. :) I am building a box right now also, inspired by these guys, from 3/4" birch plywood.
