I spent my Independence Day putting on my new Road Armor Bull Bar Bumper. Can’t wait to get the lights & winch for it.

Friday, June 22nd - Sunday, June 24th my friend Pete and I got a ton of modifications done to the Hurricane.

I wanted to get the XM Radio & GPS Antennas off the roof and onto the roof rack so that they have a clearer view of the sky so I took some 16 gauge steel and cut it into a mounting plate.

Next, onto all the lights on the roof.

PIAA Red Rear Fog Light installed.

Took the Instrument Pod off to get new Programmable Switch Panel Installed

Modified the left vent panel into a switch panel

Installed 12 fuse block under hood

Installed 6 fuse block in cargo area

Installed Scangauge II above steering wheel

Galaxy CB Radio installed on roof overhead

Wilson 2′ CB Antenna installed on roof rack on Fourtreks Mount

Whelen Amber LED Beacon installed on roof rack on Fourtreks Mount

Backup Lights Installed

Completed!

All stock lights with exception to the license plate and mirror marker lights (waiting on shipment) have been replaced with PIAA HID Lights. The new lights are great improvement, especially the headlights (blinding), domes (wow I can finally see inside the truck), and turn signals (have gone from amber to yellow). Great investment.
All lighting modifications, completed and uncompleted, can be found here.

Installed Lund Window Vents today. They look great with the tinted windows.

Auto Truck Outfitters installed 35% tint on my side windows today.

I moved the old Sho-Me Mini LED lightbar to the rear of the truck and installed a new Sho-Me Luminator LED lightbar in the front on Fourtreks mounts. The Luminator is a much better bar with the hyperbrights.

FJoel sent over some preview photos of my new emblems being made. They look great!

The reflective FJhurricane door graphics were cut and added today and I finally received the Old Man Emu (OME) 3″ Suspension Lift Kit. The lift will be installed on the next warm weekend!

After I received the drawings last night for my CNC’d creations I decided to remove the Toyota emblems as well and replace them with the FJ Hurricane logo so the truck is completely rebranded. FJoel - Ellis Precision was excited to try out his CNC machine on some new items, so here’s the latest drawing.

PENNDOT finally delivered my personalized plate today for the FJ!
