Although I am flattered, there is at least one FJ out there that makes mine look minor in comparison where accessories are concerned. He goes by Cruiserlarry on all the forums. He is my go-to man when it comes to accessories. He owns Dirty Parts in Los Angeles and his personalized plates say "1CRZYFJ" for a reason. I am proud to call him a good friend and the BugEater trembles in his FJ's presence. I'll find some pics if I can. His FJ changes so frequently that he doesn't even bother attempting to put a build thread together.

I will work on a write up of the various hacks for the FJ.

Starting Friday the BugEater is getting a fairly major mod. The picture below is a hint...:bigthumb:

The BugEater is feeling a bit inadequate today.

A roof rack it is... I was combing through the web and I found a fairly unique rack. There are a few around but I have yet to see any in person. It's a Utility rack by Baja Rack. Of course it won't stay stock looking but it is fairly stock for now. I have yet to see one with lighting on it has for front tabs for lights. I have all the lights mounted on the front and sides but i am doing something different than the way I had my stock rack set up.

A had a time set up to meet up with the salesman this morning and had to have my stock rack off and change some stuff on the way my wires were routed through the roof to accommodate the new rack. Since my old rack was a large diameter tubing rack, I wanted to make it look clean and I pulled all the wiring through the tubes of the rack. The holes through the roof was under the driver's side front rack mount pad so I didn't need to use a bulkhead fitting on the roof. I was able to seal the foot of the rack and no water got in. Well, with the new rack there was no such luck. I had to lift the rack, mark all the wires, cut the wires and pull the out of the roof so I could open up the existing hole and install a bulkhead fitting. I was able to also verify that the wires were clear of the airbags. Here are some pics of that mess...

Then today I went to Ramona to get my new rack and of course I couldn't leave the shop until I at least had some of the lights mounted on it. It's a stout rack. I can walk around on it and set up there. What enticed me was the lack of the side rails and how low profile it is. The wind noise has reduced considerably and we'll see if it helps with MPG. I doubt it but I can hope. I'll post up more as I get the fabs done to the rack that I want to accomplish.
