I moved up to 285/70/R17s and I have a matching spare that I'm going to mount on a sweet-ass swingout bumper. What I'm wondering is, what to do with the stock spare and the retracting chain carrier under the trunk... Do I remove it? If I take out the smaller spare should I take out the spare...

Scheduled the install for my new Expedition One dual-swing rear bumper with all the trimmings. I’m really looking forward to getting the spare and hi-lift out of the trunk...

Finally got the ICON/SCS-F5/KO2 trifecta installed on the rig by the awesome crew over at Jimahajer.(Great shop if you’re anywhere near La Habra) I absolutely love this setup! It’s nice and firm and yet it devours stuff I used to slow down for. And almost zero lateral sway either, even with...

Not my first purchase but my first install. (Unless you count jdm shift knobs) Was able to do it solo using a toolbox and a floor jack. (I highly recommend this even if you've got a wingman it made it super easy to position things and take my time). It was really easy once I had the bolts in...

LOL yeah I have a rear bumper on order but it won't be here for like another 3 months and I haven't even figured out how I'm paying for the front one (need a winch too) #leadtimes

Just wanted to share with y'all. Got a really cool adapter by Lotus Development that increases the safety of using your sliders as a jacking point. https://www.amazon.com/Lotus-Development-Slider-Adapter-Locking/dp/B00F4HX9FW

Congrats on the new rig! Now that I think about it that was my first mod too. It seems like a small thing but I love it! Clean, simple and functional. It’s small details like this that add up in the end. Best of all, they won’t scratch your paint! I think my next mini-mod is going to be dividers...

Finally got over my analysis paralysis and ordered a pair of these from MetalTech 4x4 for the narwahl. Bummed I missed the group buy on this but I did manage to use the 5% off your first purchase coupon :) (image linked from metaltech4x4.com)

In a word, YES. I specifically requested a TRD ORP with no KDSS or moonroof in Magnetic Grey. Some dealers told me there weren't any but one put his head to it and found me one in Redlands. They are not common! Especially here in Los Angeles where almost every ORP has KDSS. You might check...

Managed to give the tires a light coat of dust up in the Angeles Crest Mountains

I opted to go with the TRD ORP without KDSS or sunroof and opted to pour the money I saved into a top of the line suspension that is much more performant than the TRD PRO for the same amount of money. (Actually a little less) I test drove KDSS and non KDSS and it was neat and interesting from a...

Made an appointment to install all of this madness...

My first real mod, other than the proclip phone holder and the FJ shifter and license plate that says "OV4RLND" is going to be all this madness. Been saving for two years to get to the point where I could buy the truck and have enough in the bank to get a start on the mods I want to do. I'm...

Loving this thread!!! It's an expensive one to read though ;)

I'll take those shinguards if there still available! Sent you a pm.
