I like it. What are ya thinkin for paint?

Going for the original Special Edition black on grey.  Always liked it.

Will likely do bars around the wheel openings between the bumpers and sliders, for now.  Maybe an exo later.  The panels are pretty strong.  Check out the 'strength test' video on www.toyotafiberglass.com Gets hit with a hammer and run over with a truck with minimal damage.  Not that I 'plan' on doing either  :)

picked up some free steel from work this week.  Will use it to make my sliders 'bolt-on'  1/4" plate, 12" x 19" without the bend. Price was right.

OK, I am TOTALLY going to paint my car this color scheme, and my title already says its grey, same with insurance, so I will go with light grey on dark grey
Sand, what fun, drop pressure to 12psi, stock tires are still digging, can't afford to get stuck, 8psi, still not working. Find a place to GET OUT, air up, un-lock hubs,  WAIT whats this, hubs are UN-LOCKED already. 2wd, 8psi, stock tires, Oregon sand dunes.

Sorry this took so long but work has been busy.  Got my MC07 and built up the crawl box last weekend.





And I wasn't sure what to do with the floor / heater / shifters but BCC referred me to a cool product and my wife offered to buy it for my birthday... Triple Sticks http://radesignsproducts.com/TripleSticks.aspx



And here it is with the 36s on, finally!  Looks awesome, thanks to great work by Corey and crew!





Hope to get the crawl box in this weekend then the SAS is next.  I planned to do the T-G 3-link but it looks expensive and tricky to install with hi-steer and I can't afford to have it installed by a shop this year.  Now I'm thinking about leafs up front again.

Wow, that turned out killer. Very nice. I think the TG is overkill for a SAS. I'm very happy with my simple front end set up. Just some wagoneer springs and 6 inch shackles.
