Dressed up my FJ last week

[Klunk]

So a few weeks ago I chose to get some new tires so I decided to complete the build I had dreamed of. I like the utilitarian look of the old stock FJ 40s and the Land Rover Defenders. My FJ already had a OME lift along with front and rear ARB bumpers. I always liked the look of the skinny tires so I chose to purchase some BFG Mud Tires in 255/75/17. This is one size skinner than stock but it is one size taller.

With five new tires in my garage I decided to paint the stock steel wheels grey like the old FJ 40s. I then replaced the center caps with a set from an 89 T-100. I then painted the grille white to complete the look.

As I stood back and admired my work I felt the rig needed a little more. I then purchased the ARB roof rack and added some Limb Risers to make it complete.

Here is a photo I took last week. I would love some feed back.

Thanks

I think it looks great! I'm a sucker for steelies myself. And I love the no-nonsense look!

Well Done very nice build, I just pulled the trigger on an ARB rack myself. Couldn't deal with the stock rack any longer.

Very nice. I love when you mod something and it still looks factory. Well done sir!

That looks good. Makes me want to rethink my next tire selection...

Thanks all for the responses. Every time I look at my FJ it puts a huge smile on my face. I think a compressor is going to be the next item I'm going to install, along with a rear mounted light.
