2014 FJ Cruiser Build (Lucille)

[Cully74]

So the painting process takes a heck of a lot longer than I had expected. This Rustoleum stuff takes 48 hours to dry. I'm hoping to have them on on Thursday before the LBL trip. We'll see how that plays out. A few things I've learned in all of this:

1. Drop cloths are your friends, and the friends of the garage floor that you're standing on.
2. Read the paint cans for dry times before you get in your head how long this will take.
3. Wear old shoes. What settles on the floor will stick to your shoes.

Sliders are on! I didn't realize how difficult fastening those top bolts would be. It turned out good.

Haven't been on in a while. Just updating my build page. Done a few changes since the last time I was on here. They involve:
1. Scuba mod
2. Painted wheels
3. ARB air compressor install
4. Storage drawers
4. Total Chaos UCAs
5. Raptor lights (come on with headlights)
6. Scoop vent light bar
7. 33" MIlestar Patagonia MTs

Looks awesome! The front bumper wing delete was the first real mod I did on my ‘07 when I decided to mod her. Looks like you updated your molle panels in the rear too.

I got rid of mine too... Ended up missing them and then realized they got taken to the dump. Lol.

 

[Shokaract]

Lol! I’ve still got mine if you want them.

Lol! I’ve still got mine if you want them.

Hmmm. Hey, if you don't think you'll ever need them again, I'll take them.

Nah, I’m good with my wing delete. If you want them, they’re yours.
