Thanks for posting all those pics. It looks like the Addicted from bumper mounts to 6 points on the weld-in crossmember, is that correct? I'm trying to decide how much support I need for the winch bumper I'm building. Are there any pics of the backside of your front bumper showing the mounting points on the bumper itself? Thanks

Question in one of the first pics in your original post you have two gun cases that look suspended on the side of the truck around the right rear wheel. How are they suspended?

It’s a step that attaches to the tire.

Are you able to provide any details on the roof rack? Looks like a Prinsu but they don't make them for 1st Gens. Either way it looks awesome.

Like mulze42, I'd love to know where you found the slotted aluminum side rails for your roof rack. I will be building a similar rack and for the life of me, can't seem to find that product. I will be using 80/20 and some sort of grid so I can walk on the roof. I want the rack and fairing to sit in front of the sunroof like yours.
Slick ride man...thanks Jim

Jim,,
I need some advice,?
I have just installed a BOSS ToyTec 3” lift , it’s has all the usual
Full Coils ,SPC Arms and Ball joints , Diff drop , Energy Suspension Urethan Bushings on the steering Ect Ect
OME Rear Springs and BOSS ToyTec Rear Shocks ,,,,,
Anyway
The question is ,
How tight are your ABS/Speed censor lead wires that go to the front Calipers?
Mine are really tight at full turn, ie: tight left turning right Ect
And should in get all new Longer brake lines?
I’m getting the “ We have never heard or seen any problems like that before” ToyTec!?
I have the wires in the factory holders and they mount cleanly to the provided hole in the SPC arm.
Let me know what you think ‍♂️

They are fully adjustable and are made for the FJ Cruiser. They are made out of heavy duty DOM tubing and withstand everything I can throw at them offroad without the chance of bending them like the stock ones are susceptible too. I'm getting ready to install them this weekend so I'll let you know how it goes.
Did they fit and were they long enough?

Remove the clip from the spc arm and you should have plenty of slack

Awesome Rig,
Do you still own it. Curious about how it does off road and maybe a comparison to the 4 runner.
Thanks.
