Some weekend updates:

Over the weekend I went ahead and installed the OEM Reman brake calipers with new oem pads, put in new synthetic brake fluid, bled the brake lines, installed the slee extended brake lines, Slee swaybar and bumpstop brackets, Slee washer reservoir relocation bracket as well as the OEM fj80 battery tray. Also installed the Warn M8000 winch.

Here are a few pics for your enjoyment.

Still waiting to receive back my injectors from RC engineering, as well as some more parts from Toyota. Cant wait to get this rig back on the road. I miss driving it.

Some more updates:

Dual battery setup: (bought the dual battery setup from VAN GO from AJIK)
Decided to go with a Backup battery setup system. This allows you to have the secondary battery as a backup in the event the main battery gets drained. I will be running all accessories to the main Optima Yellow top. I will have another Optima Yellow top as a backup battery in the event of a discharge.

Wired Winch to remote solenoid

Wired Hellroaring BIC to both batteries

Wired both batteries

Feels like another truck.. This should be part of the PM of any old truck.

Do you realize that someone has posted your truck for sale on ebay? I only know because I saw it on there and remember the wheels. Apparently it sold for $11,900. Just a heads up there bud!

 

[FloridaFJ80]

Yeah i had posted it on ebay before. This was before my transportation situation chnaged, i had it for sale here as well. It got up to $11,900 though my reserve was higher. Since then i have decided to kepp her and continue building her for expo travel.

I havent posted any updates lately so here is the rest of my Dual batt install.

I removed the factory 6 disc cd changer and mounted up a 800 watt inverter I had laying around. I brought into the cabin 1/0 AWG power and ground wires mounted to it respective junction block. I then wired the inverter and 6 fuse blue sea distrobution panel to (2) 80 amp circuit breakers. The fuse panel will power some Blue sea usb outlets and 12v outlets as well as my engle fridge.

also installed a treklights led light bar.

Here are some more pics.

Excellent build man... So those wheels are 17x9? What model are they? What size tire did you go with? Your inverter set up is awesome.. Nice work!
