Is it cool ?

Just upgraded the grab handles for my FE. I love the rugged look / feel, but elegant and practical for off-road rig 😜. It also allows me to attach communication gears to it. (I include the “before” photo which is nice, but the upgraded one is BEST in my world 😜)

Installed this Under Hood LED Light Kit from TEQ Offroad this morning. Install went smoothly and only took maybe 30 min. The kit seems well made and provides a good amount of light.

I like the light! Not sure I would know how to fix anything under the hood anymore if I had to!

Love it. My 80’s series had one installed and it really helps.

Changed the stock fender flares to gloss black.

Do they have the holes for the rear mud flap screws? I just installed the wider OEM flares on my 1958 only to find the screw holes are missing so I can't install rear mud flaps. There are little divots where the holes should be. I wonder if Toyota expects us to drill those out ourself when replacing the flare...

I would say that is likely, especially if the holes line up with the mud flaps.

Today I installed the steel Victory 4x4 engine skid plate. I’m very pleased with the quality of the product. Holes are all drilled perfectly aligned to the mounting locations, and the powder coat finish is without imperfection (couldn’t say the same in either case for some competitors). I’m still awaiting delivery of the transfer case and transmission skids. A floor jack with a cross beam attachment, paired with a helping hand from my 8 year-old son made it a quick and easy job.

This thread is basically a giant shopping/wish list.
Thursday I installed the Offroam phone mount.
Saturday, I had my windows tinted to match the factory darkness, basically about 15% on both sides. Didn't do the rear window because they said there was a chance it could damage the defroster if I ever had to remove it.
This afternoon I installed puddle lights.

I also disabled that annoying notification to check the rear seat to see if I left an abandoned set of twin infants back there as I get out of the car to walk away. Hopefully it disables it in the app as well since I haven't found a way to select which app notifications I want and which I don't want.

Yes these contained the holes for the screws to go in. Took my car in for its 10k service and they were nice enough to put in screws that fit as the ones from the stock fenders didn't.

Installed CBI Rock Sliders. Had to watch the GX550 install video to see where the mounts were. Did it by myself in a bit over an hour on each side.

They look good. Nice job.

Silly thing, but utilitarian for me. Installed some Agency 6 6” handles on the OEM rack. Limited to just one location w/out drilling new holes. Due to the side plates not being structural and only functioning as a fairing, they aren’t load bearing. However, they give me a good balance and anchor point when messing with things up there.

Very utilitarian. Whenever I’m loading stuff on the rack and climbing up on the sliders or rear tire to do so, I just grab the side of the rack - awkwardly - and wish I had some kind of handle every time.

You might consider making a spacer that goes between the outer fairing and the inner Channel and through bolting everything. You could place the outer handle anywhere along the fairing you'd like (including the slots), then drill a hole and through bolting (no visible "extra" holes)and as strong as it can be.

You’re reading my mind! This is going to be a post-Japan project of mine for sure.
