I got home from work today, and placed the order for the White Deep Dish rims and a wp1080, got free shipping too! Yay! Got the links sorted in the rear last night, and Shocks mounted after work as well... She is a flexy little rig!  I am debating on trimming up the rear fenders...Full stuff.  |

| Re: FJ for the Trail.
Just one guys opinion but if you're keeping an aggressive wheel and tire combo like that... I would trim the rear a bit. Having such an enormous amount of space in the front... doing the back would look well balanced and also compliment the more hardcore aesthetic. Either way, hard to go wrong especially flexing like that.

Ditto. I would extend the factory line ever so gently. Should be able to achieve this with some sandpaper only. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

I have an old school Vanquish trans with the OLD RR one piece bottom gear, so driveshafts need to be compatible. Looks like I should be able to fit the spur under the seats, I need to either turn the skid around, or mirror the trans... | ||

Would look perfect with a roller but seems everyone uses synthetic line now. Still... looking fantastic.. tires/ wheels too.

| Re: FJ for the Trail.
Same yeah. I'm sure if that bumper and fairlead mounting plate were black it would look more "correct" but as is I guess a hawse would suit it better. I guess it's just my age lol and loving an old planetary wrapped with steel cable. EDIT> Part of it too I think, is how tall that mounting plate is. I feel like if it were cut down that everything might tie together better.. dunno.

I never even noticed it in the full size pic. Too busy gawking at the body I reckon. Will look great with the hawse as is. Was just nostalgia kicking in lol.
