Yeah, almost there. Given the abuse the poor thing sees I'm just trying to give it a fair chance of getting back home. Now, if I only knew how to drive......... :lookout:

Of course a G27 (for those in Canada that's a Glock 27 .40 mm) in the tissue holder. Used a Glock Sport/Combat Holster Md: H017043
glock 27 caliber is .40 of an inch, not metric. it`s 10.16mmx22mm in metric, probably the best pistol cartrige available today.
.40 S&W - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
great place for a gun BTW!mine was in a steel safe box under the seat.

Oh crap. Yes, you are right, of course. Lucky for me that one of our Canadian brothers was not the one to correct me. :redbrick:

It is. Just 11 more months and it will look brand new......for a week.

looking really nice. :thumb3: you totally made the right call painting the TE parts to match; gives it a unique, custom look.
i'm curious what made you go with the OW 2.5 coilovers -vs- the OME setup you were contemplating earlier? and why the SAW 1.5 coils, as well?

Because Arie (pawzitiv) told me to :wink2: The rational was hashed out here
Righty Tighty. Its bolt on easy. Not sure anybody has done a official write up but I think Harper and maybe others have pics of it.
Any plans to test those budbuilt bumpouts out?
Done. And they DO work. :boink:

thanks for that, philly. i'm such a dummy; i actually posted in that thread! :ybrick:
i guess i'm still not clear on the rationale for the SAW 1.5 rear coils. i know that harper7 runs those with his Icon setup as well.

Only to keep the ride less harsh and the lift height within reason. I "think" the SAW coils are 12% stiffer than stock. Actual numbers for the most popular rear coils have been posted a few times here and on the FJ Forum.
LOL! After this post, I couldn't resist.
We DO have Glocks in Canada you know; I have a G17 Gen 4 and a G26 myself.
We just aren't allowed to carry them, unfortunately.
To stay on topic, I'm about to order a 2012 T4R Trail Edition. Yeah. Oh yeah!
I really like the clean OEM look of your winch mount... very classy. I may go that way at first; I'm planning on modding incrementally as time allows, and I'll bet that mount is a lot more affordable than a full winch bumper!
Any idea how big a winch will fit behind the stock bumper fascia? Bud Built's site is a little short on info (read: I can't even find that winch mount on there...)

Haha... no insult taken! We poor Canucks are forever the brunt of jokes (some of the good natured ribbing on THR or GlockTalk can go for days... it's tough being America's hat!)
I guess I was more wondering how tall/deep of a winch might fit (or might not?)
Based on some Canadian Army recovery load tables I've seen, I believe a winch should have a pull rating at least equal to double the mass of the vehicle, so for a loaded 4R, that's a 10K winch, minimum.
Do you have a winch mounted yet on yours?
