Hopefully it'll be finished next week. Coverage includes: Engine skid, transmission skid, mid, gas tank. Basically front to back. Going to get the skids for the links/shocks from Allpro.

It actually doesn't look half bad. Most importantly it is functional and secure. It also didn't cost me anything (I had already purchased the aluminum piece - so ok it did cost me $12) I just bent the aluminum 90 degrees. The black section is a heavy duty plastic L bracket -no rust and extemely difficult to break. It also matches the stock black molding.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5906036415201423982-4013700080535034971?l=myfjproject.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906036415201423982.post-22564161979712708672008-08-22T16:49:00.000-07:002008-08-22T16:55:08.921-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4MThAHgQGzs/SK9Q8cJFiBI/AAAAAAAAAFk/MNEsuGHvlBg/s1600-h/warn8000.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4MThAHgQGzs/SK9Q8cJFiBI/AAAAAAAAAFk/MNEsuGHvlBg/s400/warn8000.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237493890931853330" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4MThAHgQGzs/SK9Q8mpA0gI/AAAAAAAAAFs/c7tpkAnAs3Q/s1600-h/recovery_strap.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4MThAHgQGzs/SK9Q8mpA0gI/AAAAAAAAAFs/c7tpkAnAs3Q/s400/recovery_strap.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237493893750116866" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4MThAHgQGzs/SK9Q86MGgRI/AAAAAAAAAF0/-K5mCc9LW_o/s1600-h/bushpig.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4MThAHgQGzs/SK9Q86MGgRI/AAAAAAAAAF0/-K5mCc9LW_o/s400/bushpig.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237493898997563666" border="0" /></a>Camp NL was a blast in Minden this year. It was the 6th year the camp was put on (my first time). I'd do it again in a heart beat! Great people and great trails. Thanks for all your hard work Dixie and Voodoo. Pictures above is what I won as a result of buying raffle tickets. Pictured: Warn 8000 winch, ProComp recovery strap and.... A BUSH PIG MUG!! Now all I need is a bumper and a lift to slap the winch onto and then I need.........

I bought the truck in Oct 07. Never originally had any plans to modify my truck until I hooked up with the great people at <a href="http://www.fjcruisersontario.com/">www.fjcruisersontario.com</a><br /><br /> Have I done much to my truck. Nope not yet. Just getting started. Hence the blog. I'd like to document everything I am going to do over time. It should be noted that I really have no mechanical skills and have very limited offroad experience (I used to have a 95 YJ.... but I never inhaled) so this whole thing should be an adventure.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.fjcruisersontario.com/"></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5906036415201423982-1663048663355867536?l=myfjproject.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906036415201423982.post-74690340145387827312008-05-19T18:06:00.000-07:002008-05-20T16:27:51.405-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_4MThAHgQGzs/SDIkT1Jc-7I/AAAAAAAAAD8/VY0I1CTa84c/s1600-h/Betteruphill+may+17.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_4MThAHgQGzs/SDIkT1Jc-7I/AAAAAAAAAD8/VY0I1CTa84c/s400/Betteruphill+may+17.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202260442669185970" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5906036415201423982-7469034014538782731?l=myfjproject.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906036415201423982.post-69822268799242731022008-05-19T18:03:00.001-07:002008-05-19T18:05:30.119-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_4MThAHgQGzs/SDIjnFJc-6I/AAAAAAAAAD0/ZWD_jW8Oh1s/s1600-h/Mp3_Mod_May17.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_4MThAHgQGzs/SDIjnFJc-6I/AAAAAAAAAD0/ZWD_jW8Oh1s/s400/Mp3_Mod_May17.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202259673870039970" border="0" /></a><br />This was no big deal. 12 bucks at CT.
