My build is pretty much complete as of this last weekend. I have put some extensive work into this thing in a short time, but it's out of "necessity" I tell myself. I will post up pictures and a full build thread shortly.

Synopsis:
-Install of 7" LED lights in front hoop that are activated by the fog light switch
-Rewired Rigid LED to run with main headlights and high beams
-Front Runner (Everything) system works so well I just decided to get all their accessories as well
-Cranked Torsion Bars to fix AHC pressure ratings
-AIP bypass modules
-Install and wire of 7 lead tow harness
-New Transmission installed by Santa Maria Toyota, not the truck's fault
-Removal of middle seat
-Weather tech cargo mat
-Molle compatible storage system
-King springs en route from Australia

i really like that you are able to use the factory tow receiver with the new rear bumper. how much does the rear bumper weigh?

 

[climberoleg]

I actually had to splice a new one in there. It just looks stock.

Not sure on the weight of the bumper but it's around 180 to 200 without the accessories.

very nice work i would like some detail on the receiver

 

[climberoleg]

I was referring to splicing the 7 pin connector. Anyways the receiver is stock as far as I know and it bolts into the frame through the aftermarket bumper. Pretty easy install.

Some progress pictures of my pre 100s in the hills body work repair and painting.

Truck is currently at my favorite Land Cruiser mechanic, The Truck Shop, in San Diego. Thanks for the progress pics James.

Before:

Progress shots:

Plan is to keep it two tone but make the bottom thundercloud grey match the satin black BiOR armor.

Also have some metaltech lower links in the mail, which I will install before the big trip to Ouray.

Most recent pic from the shop. It's starting to come together.

Looking great! Love that tube bumper...

 

[El Cid]

That looks good...but of course, we were all jealous of the white loooong before you did that...

 

[climberoleg]

Thanks for the compliments

And here is the finished product. Can't thank the guys at the truck shop enough.

Now I just need to find a way to make memories without severe body damage.

I hate to say it but there are some things jeeps do with ease that aren't so easy for us bigger folks.

Finally got some new shoes. Cooper ST Maxx 295/70R18 On Tundra Steel wheels. Haven't had the chance to hit the dirt yet, but liking the new rugged look and matching colors.

Wow! Digging it up from a while back!!

Awesome truck. I am going to monstaline my trim and rockers. I found a silver color that looks ok, but now that I have a front bumper and plans for a rear, I am wondering if I should just go black and go for your look
