4BUMR's Florida Man Thread

Hello T4R,

After lurking and occasionally adding my .02 for the past 18 months I'm ready to set up home base.

At the beginning of 2016 I joined the clan and bought an '02 Limited with 125k miles that was in wonderful condition, aside from the typical leather tear on drivers side and some minor paint imperfections from being in Florida. As she sits currently we're at 145k and still going strong!

Exterior
Millennium Silver Sport Hood
Sequoia Wheels - refinished/repainted with Duplicolor Graphite
Trim Refresh - Paint + Chemical Guys Back to Black

Interior
LED's throughout entire cabin
Quality Leather(ette?) Seat Covers + Steering Wheel Wrap

Performance
Tundra Brake Upgrade - Red Paint +2hp
Stainless Steel Brake Lines

Maintenance
120k Water Pump + Timing Belt Service
Radiator + Thermostat Replacement

Upcoming within next 3 Months
1. 2012 FJ Cruiser Springs All around (or 5th gen TE, will make write up)
2. Bilstein 5100's all around
3. OEM LBJ's, ITR, OTR's
4. Whiteline Steering Rack & Control Arm Bushings
5. Rear Drum Replacement (Brembo)

Wishlist
1. Whip Antenna
2. Duratracs or equivalent
3. Lift Gate Struts
4. Hood Paint
5. 2nd Gen S/C (Not very likely)

A special shoutout to everyone that has the time, patience, and professionalism to document their repairs and findings. Thank you for making me a halfway competent mechanic for the 4BUMR and I hope you guys like her as much as I do! :yo:

Looking good! Love the sport hood.

Just curious, why the Brembo drums? Any performance benefit from them?



Craigslist!

Mine are rusted bad and have a terrible squeal. Seller was selling at about half off their online price. And they match my brembo front rotors!

Looks good, and a Craigslist deal is always the perfect time to upgrade
