ARB stuff on the FJ

[LTD FJ]

Well I have just about completed the majority of the projects on the FJ. Waiting for tires, Nitto 295-75-16 ,should be in around mid week, and roof rack, backordered 2-3 weeks. To each there own and I know I will get comments about the clear LED front and rear lights, but oh well. So far I have done the following:

OME 3" lift

ARB Front bumper with fog lights and HID'S and Rear bumper

Safari Snorkel

Switched the stock bulbs for HID's in headlamps

Front and Rear LED corner lenses (Doesn't affect cruise control)

DNX7100 GPS/DVD/TV/HD Tuner/IPod/Bluetooth/B-up camera mounted to front bumper

Bandi Mount

I just posted up three before and after photos for know, but have more detailed photos of each project if people are interested. Let me know what you think.

Looks good, you are right about the lights though ,

Don't think i will be doing that, however its yours and if you like it who really cares what others think,


Cheers ,,,

Very nice, I'm just staring my mods on my TT FJ. Good looking rear bumper.

Sweet! I think the lights look pretty good! I'll keep mine the way they are, but they do look nice.

I agree on the lights, and the who cares part...its your truck.

I did notice you said you put the camera on the front bumper, can you film using this? is that why you put it there?

LOOKS very sharp, I like the work. Love that white also. It was cool for those of us who were the first to buy the new FJ and get the looks. There are so many now, the white is like a do over. I turn my head every time i see one. I'm pretty sure I would pull an exorcist if you circled me on the road!

Did you get the Exp roof rack? if so i think you are gonna love it. i just got mine, and the tent for the rack is awesome.

and I am interested in more pics..keep em comin.

I like the rear bumper, I just got my 295/75/16 tires put on yesterday and the spare does fit with no spacer. I'll post a pic later tonight.

According to the tracking #, the Tent should be in today, and ARB shipped the Expedition rack out yesterday. As far as the camera, there is no replay as of yet. There are two inputs in the back of the Headunit, and I thought of doing a camera over each front tire. There are also RCA outputs on the unit, so technically I could hook up a recording device to it. I'll post more pics tonight with the new tires Nitto Terra Grappler 295-75-16.

She's a looker...

Looks VERY good.

I'm a very recent purchaser of a TT, and just starting down a similar path to yours. Bumpers and winch ordered just yesterday. Wondered how the OME lift would look with the black wheels -- thanks for the preview.

My TT is my daily driver -- about 40 miles to work -- and also my weekend mountain toy and bike trailer hauler. So far, I really like the stock ride -- did you find the lift made a big change in the highway manners of your rig?

Yes, the lift did make a difference. On my 07 I had a winch in the front ARB before I put the lift on and it drove great. I did the lift first this time and with the stock 265-75-16 BFG's, it drifted around and felt real light. I put the Nitto's on yesterday, and the behavior is much better now. Still haven't had it on the highway yet.

Wow, you should see if ARB will put your FJC in their print ads. I think you have purchased every product they sell for an FJ. It looks great!

 

[Mountainclimber]

Hey LTD,

That thing is really coming along nicely.

Very sharp indeed.

 

[Bikes2]

Thnx

Exactly the info I was looking for. Believe I'll do the bumpers/winch first and see how it feels before deciding on the lift. Again, many thanx!

After I looked at my post, and read it, I figured it would only be so long before someone commented.. I'll post some pics of both in the future... Guarentee ya I get a rack on one before the other. Guess which one....

I just got the tent on Friday, and spent Friday and Saturday night camping with my girlfriend in it. I think the only step up from there is a camper? Its plush.
