Well I recieved my new FJ today. Got it at 4:00 and had the HID headlights installed by 6:30. Much more work to come on this rig, so stay tuned...

Looks good.

You've had almost 12 hours, what else have you installed???

This waiting is not getting the job done.

Ready to give it a real world work out?

Been real busy with work lately. ARB Front and Rear are installed, Snorkel, Kenwood DNX7100 GPS/Stereo/TV/Bluetooth/HD Radio installed, Front & Rear LED running and turn signals, today I will finish running the wiring for the HID Spots on the front ARB. Yesterday I intalled the fit kit for the roof rack, and when I opened the rack, I noticed it was a little big. They messed up and sent me an 80series rack. I will post some pics tonight when I get home.

How much of a pain was it to get the ARBs in? Are you using a compressor or CO2? Thanks-

Well waiting on the tire, went with the Nitto Terra Grappler 295/75/16. I had these on my 07 and they wore pretty well even thru GSMTR. Also waiting on the roof rack. ARB sent me one for an 80 series and there is no way to modify that.

A list of thing installed so far:

OME 3" Lift
ARB front and Rear
Safari Snorkel
Clear LED corner lenses front and rear (Doesn't affect the Cruise Control)
HID bulbs to replace stock headlights
HID 900xs IPF lights
Kenwood DNX7100 GPS/DVD/TV/Ipod/Bluetooth/Bup camera/HD tuner

Hope ya like the photos.

Haven't really thought much about the compressor just yet. As far as the ARB stuff, I actually sell their items online at Landcrusher.com. The only thing is that I do not stock the parts and they have to be shipped from the west coast. The only way it is cost effective is if I do a group buy and have it sent on a pallet.

Thanks,

Actually, I meant the installation not receiving it

Did you have to get a rear third member that did not have an e-locker? What gears did you go with? Thanks-

Installs were pretty simple. I would have to say the snorkel took the longest, cause I must have rechecked the template 50 times. Didn't want to screw up a 4" whole in the panel :lol:

. The TT Edition comes with the factory rear locker. Didn't change anything as far as the gears. My 07 had the same setup and seemed to do fine with the stock gearing. I will say though, without the added weight of the winch up front, I probably should've gone with the medium load springs. Although that gives me an excuse to buy the winch

. Attached is the pic of the 07 at Watkins Glenn Racetrack in Upstate NY. My girlfriend and I did a trip to Niagra Falls and back with the FJ and it did fine on the highway.

Meathead,

I think he was referring to the ARB bumper not that he got an air locker.

AAAAAHHHH.... Thanks for clearing that up Greg.

yeah, front and rear bumpers. Sorry, no gearing changes. Or locker swaps.
