Not yet, I need the O2 monitor to set and I should be ready then for the referee. Havent been able to drive it yet too much. I have out of state plates on it that expire in May, so hopefully it will be set before then.

Still waiting on the master switch for the drivers seat. I'm probably going to use this switch for the heater and coolers...
Man I'm digging that color!
Man, sweet rig. I am loving this build. Couple questions.
1. How did you prep the trim pieces (ie grill and light trim) for paint?
2. I saw you got the lockers installed with what looks like locking hubs. I have tried to search for this haven’t found anything. So you have a part time vehicle, but when you lock the hubs it’s now awd? And when you lock the cdl and diffs it’s like triple locked rig?

Thank you! The light trim unscrews and then I just sanded everything until it was nice and ruffed up and then primed and painted. If I lock the center diff with the hubs unlocked it will be 2wd but the front driveshaft will be spinning. Once I lock the hubs and unlock the center diff its awd. If I lock the hubs and center diff then its regular 4wd.
Have you modded you transfer case or just added the hubs?

I just added the hubs. Not sure how often I will drive it in 2wd.

Ordered up some hid bulbs. I decided to try some 4500k bulbs. I have some 5500k bulbs in my 4runner. I've noticed with the pure white light that it seems more difficult to pick out wild life on the shoulder. Also in bad storms the light doesn't pierce the storm well. Hoping the slightly yellowed light will help. Next I'm going to order some mirrors, a stereo, and camera system.

Paint is done. I'm happy. I Finished one of the rear seats. Removed the old sub and replaced. Need to make a list of what to do to finish it up.

WOW it make it look so easy!
Clean clean clean, man this is a clean looking rig!
What speakers and head unit are you going to run?
are you getting away from the stock 15" rims? Did you have to grid down the calipers when you swapped axles to get the rims to clear?
Great build! Im sure she will drive like a dream.

You're correct that a more yellow color will work better in snow, rain, fog, etc. I personally like the light even more yellow, maybe around 3500K, but I'm in Oregon where we get lots of rainy and foggy days.
Are you putting HID into the stock housings?

Thank you sir! The head unit I ordered is a double din touch screen, its still on its way, I just ordered it a couple days ago. Im going to run the 15s for a bit and see how I like it. I will probably get them powdercoated though. I am running spacers so thats how I was able to get them to fit. I didn't do any grinding.
I bought some depot lights and put projectors in them. I am putting 3000k LED bulbs in the bright side of the housings and will run that off of a switch so that they will be fog lights. I would like to find a switch that will fit in a factory blank in the dash for that.
What leather kit are you using for the seats? Custom? Are they black or a dark grey? Look great. I'm planning to replace my leather with the Lseat kit soon and have been planning on black, but having decided for sure.
Nice. Would like to see the end results.

Those are stock seat covers that have been painted black with leather paint. I didn't install new covers.
Cool. Turned out quite well.

This is the biggest fan I could mount. I'm going to have it activate when the ac is on to help increase condenser cooling. Figured I should mount it b4 working on the headlights.
