Sr5SuShi's Build Thread

I like the FJ TRD wheels better than those.

I have the same wheels as you currently do and I was wondering if you ran them without spacers on 285s?

I thought you were going to buy Fox suspension!

Nice clean updates. Look forward to the new rear.

Im going all ICON all the way around and mounting my rear shocks on the outside of the frame like Ripcord did. I just ordered them should be here soon!

Fox is gearing towards a different kinda ride than i wanted it to be. I have heard ICON has some really great products.:hungry:

I did not. I ran with spacers with my 285's on.

Did you run the spacers because of rub or just for a better stance?

Both. I liked the stance but i was also rubbing at full lock on the frame. wasent a big deal but i went with some hub-centric spacers to help with it. it doesnt matter now with my 315 tho...:nerd:

Looks great!

I really wish they weren't back ordered on those tires, or else they would be on my truck right now

I was looking over the jangoforhire build thread and I'm working on some external switches for my rack lights and extra LED dome light myself so I purchased a face plate for my rear cargo switches.

They're not cheap but they make a really clean look. Thanks for the link, jangoforhire. :banana:

here are my rear switches.(besides my off road light switch) im changing that out with a "dome light" switch. i have my fronts on there way. just need to find a good flat location...

Sr5SuShi · Aug 17, 2012

Bumper will be here tommaorw!!! :guitar3:

So i spent some time mocking up a location for my switches, and the only really good place i could find was where the ash tray was. I never would of used it anyway, why not make good use out of that spot!

This is where i wanted to put it.

After some cutting and bending of sheet metal and ALOT of cardboard cut outs. this is the final product! Its nice, all the wireing from the switches can fit right inside of where the ash tray used to be, plenty of room.
