Just to post a couple of misc. mods but pay attention to the last pic. I like to save the best for last.

Love the decal, and the build.
 
I truly enjoy your build, I am getting ready to build out my 2002 LX and currently doing diligent homework and research here on MUD.

Just got the 90K and TB started at SDTrux in San Diego. Will scrap AHC and do 2.5 Slee lift.

Color match the ARB Sahara also, it's a nice touch.
 
Thanks, Maxdog. Good luck with your build and start a build thread.
 
looks great. You got a great deal on the rack. I would suggest keeping the bar ends as short as you can. they can catch brush and branches and all kinds of other stuff in an off camber climb. But then I seem to catch all those branches on the body of the LC any way also. - When is the next run at URE ?

September.
Iv'e been trying to decide if I should cut down the bars.
 
I have a 20" light bar on the way and wanted a more sophisticate switch instead of using my fog light switch that I am using now for my Hella lights. Also, I want to retain the for light switch for when I replace the IPF fog lights with Rigid dually lights.
I called up Jamie at Sparks Toyota and spool with him about my plans. He was very very easy to speak with and suggested the FJ Cruiser switch and harness. Well, I told him switch part number that I found on mud but he helped me out with he harness as well. I received a very fair price for the switch and harness and want to encourage anyone seeking anything for their truck, to call Jamie at Sparks Toyota.
I also wanted to add that I ordered the parts yesterday around 4:00 and received them today around 4:00. Great services!!!

Can you provide a breakdown of what each color of wire represents? I have the same switch but it is just in place because I do not know what each color is supposed to be wired to

I'm not installing the light but I will try and get the info from the installer.
 
this is all my installer gave me. He said it can be found on the net as well.

Today, I received a LED light kit from Pfran. Very nice complete kit. Thanks Paul. First, the reverse light. They are VERY bright and VERY easy to install on the Land Cruiser versus the LX470, which you have to remove the tailgate carpet to get to the reverse lights. All you have to do is remove two screws to remove the light housing.

You can see at dusk how much brighter the LED light is.

and now, both lights installed.

Next, the interior lights. I really struggled with the overhead dome lights. It wasn'tuntil 30 minutes of battlingwith the lights when I realized Paul included some sort of extended for the wire and plug. Once I figured that out it took me 20 seconds per light:doh:
Paul, you need to add instructions or at least update you gallery for the 100 kit. Call it, "How to install Interior LEDS for Dummies":idea:
Anyway, these things are freaking bright!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where I really appreciate it is in the back. i can now see at night time when putting fishing gear back there or even coming back in from hunting.

As BBQboy has

1 and 2 power/ground, the indicator in the switch

3 and 4 are the control wires (12 volts in and out)

5 and 6 are illumination, power/ground from the dash board illumination source

Check my wiring diagram here Factory Toyota Switches to Control Air Lockers and Compressor – Part 1 - TLC FAQ
 
Nice build :clap:

What back up camera did you go with?
