PICS: Installed my TJM-17

[fireteacher]

Just got done installing the TJM-17. Ran out of light so ill put the lights on it tomorrow as well as trim up the plastic hanging from the wheel wells.. Only beef i have is the orange peace i put on bows out in the middle of both turn signals. gotta fix that some how. anyone else have that prob?

The box was H U G E !!! I had to take the head rest off the pass set and lay it on there~

I like it alot and the little extra weight helps with the stance a bit.

whatcha think?

i had to fit my tjm15 over my 2 10" sub box and that was a trick

lookin pretty sweet! gonna get some hoops? I think a stinger or center hoop would look sweet.

maybe even hoops like Ric has

looks good

fyi the orange signal plates go on the INSIDE

 

[fireteacher]

yeah, bruce on YT told me!!

i felt like a JACKASS!! but i was kinda rushing. it was FREEZING and like 30 MPH winds and i did it in the parking lot at my apartments. Plus it was kind of a pain to get the holes lined up for the new brakets. And workin alone just added to the frustration!

[fireteacher]

double bracket lift with 33x15 tires you mean and 16x17 inch wheels or something

gotta be wider then the tires remember?

ok, got some sonoran shackle hangers from haveblue and put em up there. the pass side bolts were TOOO long! i couldnt find any that would fit in the hardware stores so i just through 4 washers in there. fit perfectly! the drivers side bolts are perfectly cause they dont have the added depth of the

anyhow, i stuffed a piece of 3/4 fuel hose in the hole of the hanger to keep it from makin noise. siliconed it up and mounted the shackles. got those from ace hardware foe 12.99 each. they have the pins vise the shackle with the threaded end but they worked for me. i like the color also!

I'm sorry, hate to be the only one, but I'm not a big fan of those two red hooks. The red sort of cathes too much eye.

But that's just me and i've got a stock 4Runner so can't speak on this much...
