Haddix's build thread

[haddix]

Ordered a spare 255 KM2 and Old Man Emu suspension. Hopefully will have everything installed in the next couple weeks.

As I had mentioned earlier I am planning on building custom front and rear bumpers. Here is a rough idea of what I have in mind. The end result will look different, mainly sleeker/slimmer throughout the whole bumper. It will be tucked up as high as possible. This is just something we came up with just a couple measurements.

Looks good. I really like how you cut it all out from one piece, and bent it to shape. Very clever.

Thanks. This is just a rough idea of what I want. I just cut it out to get an idea of size. The final will be slimmer and higher clearance.

Look what came in the mail today!

How in the world did you go a whole year without the forums?
What can I say I like to trade vehicles. I've already had the FJ up for trade at one point in time lol
I'm 22 and have had 7 vehicles. I have a problem.
I have to say I really like driving the FJ though.

The mod list is looking good. I can't wait to get everything installed. Bumpers will be next.

I am loving the FJ. For what I use it for the 2 door doesn't bother me. It's usually me by myself or with the dog. Occasionally the girlfriend tags a long lol
Really my only complaint is the back window doesn't roll down like in the 4runner.
You going to hold onto your 4runner? I know it was for sale once upon a time.

Forgot to update this thread after getting the lift installed.

Rear bumper now removed getting ready for a custom rear bumper.

 

[haddix]

Cut the rear bumper out today. I am hoping I get to form it tomorrow but that depends on how busy I am tomorrow at work.

Planned on knocking out the rear bumper today but as usual got busy at work and didnt have much time to work on it. Got one of the side pieces tacked together during break.

This is a hard pic to get when you are by yourself lol you get the idea

Where's the pics of the finished rear bumper?

 

[haddix]

Still haven't finished the rear yet but it's close!! Here's some pics. Front is finished, rear just needs a little more grinding.
