Making my first post on the site, which fittingly, is an introduction.
So.. traded an FJ in this January toward a 2020 DCLB offroad. (Auto/MGM)
Location: PNW
Very pleased with the change, needed something capable yet more practical.
Off the bat, ordered an ARE MX canopy with windoors and roof tracks. Desired the higher roof canopy for more room when camping and envisioned only adding a rack over the cab to almost match the raised line of a taller canopy. Bedrug as well.
Late April, began with the standard modifications.
OME BP-51, Dakar leafpacks.
Ride height about 2.5” up front.
Nitro gear UCA.
Stealth Custom Series SR8 16x8 -12mm, 285/75 KO2’s
CMC, pinch weld: hammer, cut, defeat, coat for rust.
Prinsu rack, couple maxxtraxx mounted.
4.88 regear at Nitro, needle bearing elimination..
Backseats fully removed to increase storage.
stuff I got laying around and need to install: bajadesign ambers.. aftermarket wheel well liners (cause I cut the stocks when bending back the pinch weld) and after market engine splash guards.
would like to cut exhaust back, have full-size spare that I feel could fit under bed.. considering higher flow muffler in the near future with a dump ahead of rear axle. CBI sliders on order.. researching what brand of armor I’d like to go with.
anyway, probably forgetting things .. but, will add as necessary. I think forums like these are an invaluable asset to vehicle enthusiasts to amass information and ideas that we can all contribute and draw from.
