[MENTION=258844]blksubykid[/MENTION] If recollection serves me well I bought the LFD crossbars from you a while back, and always helpful when I had questions. Good to see you on this thread!

Ok yep. That’s me lol
May I ask what brand of winch you have and what were the modifications to get it to fit flush like yours? Also would I need to beef up the stock springs to account for the additional weight?
Thank you in advance

I know this is an old thread, but I think it's more relevant now honestly. I see the 14+ models everywhere, literally. I drove 12+ hours and outbid five other people to get my 2012 TE a few years back. No regrets. This is my favorite vehicle and I like it even more now.

2013 Limited. Purchased completely stock Feb 2018 with 53,000 miles. Currently at 90ish.
With the knowledge and wisdom throughout this forum we confidently removed the 2nd and 3rd row seats to add a platform for stealth over nighters…..and so the wife doesn’t freeze or get eaten by a bear….eye roll. I opt for the cot or hammock under the stars as much as I can.
We have a 35 liter Dometic frig/cooler behind the passenger seat keeping food fresh, ice available for cocktails and chilling beers. We use a 500 & 1000 watt hour jackery batteries to power the frig and charge devices. We have a small wood burning stove we pack with us for cooking, heat, and entertainment…..there’s wood almost everywhere.
2021 was dedicated to finding places far off the pavement to paddle board. We have spent long weekends hanging out on the natural springs and swamps of FL, GA, lakes throughout TN, NC, KY, and some secret beach spots.
We do not not plan on selling. Looking forward to more modifications.

Finally... I've waited years to join this OG Trail club... Mine is on the way from Vroom!
13 Shoreline Blue Pearl with 104K miles.
First order of business is getting the correct 13 Trail wheels (8 bullet hole) installed.
Anyone have theirs laying around they want to sell cheap?

Don't sell! They are worth a mint and will be your loyal gf for life! My 2010 with 105,000 miles is completely beat up body wise from foresting. Toyota sends me a letter a couple times a year offering me $17,500 for it as is. No problems yet. I built my own front bumper for about 75$ of steel plate instead of two grand so I could actually off road it the way it's meant to.

I liked off road labs $2000 bumper but changed the design some to what I like. Inverted the skid and still working on the right design/look for under the headlights. Not sure if I want to paint it. I kinda like the patina look. Wire wheel it, tiger paw all the edges to a shine for contrast and depth, then clear coat. Haven't but going to cut those silver radiator core support tabs off then my suspension will be looking sick from the front . 75$ in plate. Weighs not much more than all the stock plastic shit. Rear bumper, sliders, skids up next.

I love it. Look in the FJ forums as well for the wheels.

I had the chance to buy a Shoreline Blue Trail about 2.5 years ago before prices went crazy, at a local resale dealer. I thought it was pricey so I figured, "I'll wait a couple weeks and go get it for $1,500 less...." and it was gone by the next day. Darn! I'd pay full price for it if I could go back in time, and sell my 2011 SR5 4x4 pearl white.
Shoreline Blue Trail = rare now = future unicorn.

Funny, I've never actually seen a shoreline blue pearl Trail in person... but I will soon thanks to Vroom. It honestly wasn't my first pick either, but I knew it was few and far between from my reading here over the years so I said what the hell I'll buy it sight unseen.
