Hi @coops2k ,

Sorry to hear you are having to sell your rig - It's one of my favorite builds on the site!

Quick question if you don't mind: You've said you installed the ToyTec stainless extended brake lines.

Was it these?

FJRL14 - Stainless Steel Extended Rear Brake Lines (07+FJ/03+ 4Runner/03-09 GX470)

Vehicle Fitment: 07-14 FJ Cruiser 03 + 4Runner 03-09 GX470

SS-FBL - Stainless Steel Front Brake Lines

Vehicle Fitment: 05-Current Tacoma 07-14 FJ Cruiser 00-Current Tundra 03-09 GX470

www.toyteclifts.com

I ordered those and my mechanic claimed they "didn't fit" and were "for 07 and up".

I wanted to check before I returned them - He might be lying and just didn't want to deal with it ( won't be going back to him.)

Thanks!

I, too, really enjoyed following your build and I'm kinda shocked your gonna sell it. I like many of your mods, such as the fire extinguisher mount in the side of the second row seats. Could you expand on how you attached the extinguisher mount with those two holes to that plastic trim so that it will stay put? Thank you in advance!

the plastic piece is held on with two screws, so mark where the extinguisher should be mounted, drill holes and mount the ext holder with bolts & nuts, then remount the plastic to the frame and your done

Excuse the silly question, but did you put something to screw into behind the door covering plastic? I'm planning the same, and wondering if I need to remove the panel to make it secure. Thanks!

added a tailgate shelve for making food or something and a towel holder, need to get a pin to hold the latch closed

to be honest, I don’t remember, but I don’t think I did. I did used some blue lock tight on it, I do that on almost everything since this gets off road. But if you think you need to, it wouldn’t be hard to pull the corner and stick you hand in there.

I am back up for sale. thinking $15K OBO without winch, refrigerator, compressor, & CB radio. I will leave the HAM radio if wanted. The the winch Zeon 10S and remote hook up for an extra $500.

I took of the front bumper for right now, it needs paint, but it will go with the truck
The GX needs a really good cleaning and some wax

I will be passing through the Denver area this weekend if anyone wants to look at it. Gotta go to Cheyenne and back through Denver and Colorado Springs.

PM me any questions.
