Looks good brother and very nice FJ as well. You made a good choice with a kid on the way. My wife missed her FJ so we took the boy (2yrs) and loaded up the car seat for a test drive. He had room but it was a pain getting the car seat in and really a pain loading him in. Will always wonder why Toyota never made it in a true 2 and 4 door like the wranglers. Enjoy that new Trail!

Sweet! I can't wait to see this thing on a trail run! I'm surprised I've never run into you at one of the FJ meets.

 

[Ducmonsta]

16" Methods fit the 4R?

 

[4Running Daily]

16" Methods fit the 4R?

I think he means 17"

I don't think MT-R's are made in 285/70/16

king oem series

very nice! i have front king oem ready to go on my trundra. cannot wait to see how they perform - if they live up to the hype i'll have to resist putting a set on my 4R too.

 

[Gabex35]

Thanks guys, pretty excited about this ride. I beat the FJ up pretty good so I'll have to take a few steps back with this...at least for a while.

Yeah, I meant 285/70-17

 

[KCcarguy]

Wow! Awesome stuff so far! I love those new NVs.

Hit me up if you need the dimensions on a mounting bracket (see my build thread)... save yourself some headache and learn from my mistakes! God knows I've been guided in the right direction several times by forum members.

Cool, thanks. I had the gobi made for the 40" like I did for my fj. Hopefully it works out the same.

You don't jerk around. This will look good.

Added an ARB compressor


And a Diehard Platinum Marine. I think it's a PM1



Both came out of my FJ

 

[Gabex35]

Got my ARB compressor and OTRATTW switches in and partially wired up.

 

[Gabex35]

And mounted a Scanguage II with some
3M VHB tape.

Nice setup. How did you mount your ARB compressor? Custom bracket?
