Update... Sourced some roof rails... No idea why the previous owner removed em

Lift also complete. It's a 4" lift, with maxxis 235/75/15. Absolutely no difference in power or gearing :silly:

Leave yours alone, it's nice. ;)


thanks john your praise is appreciated B)

JamJim, im assume your planning a big lift in order to fit the tyres and spacers?!

the window tint looks awesome, jealous we cant go that dark on the front in the uk :evil:

where did you squeeze the sub in? miss my sub big time, ive got a 15incher (obviously wont fit unless i remove back seats) but ive also got a 12inch that i could fit but it wont just go in the boot :(


The sub fits pretty snug.. If I remember correctly its in a 14"x14" sealed bo



Lid closed

Random glamor shot.... I case anyone was wondering, the Maxxis Bighorn 235/75/15 fit on the trunk lid without any modification

So today I got bored with the Jim... I've always hated that the top half of the tailights are useless... So I went ahead modding... Bought some standard t10 connectors and wired em to the park lights. I tried doing this with the lights in one piece but the shavings kept falling into the light and looked very crappy... I eventually baked em and did it the right way. I also added some jdm 3000k bulbs to the eBay foggies I got the Jim with

If your sub box is square might I suggest putting it sideways so the speaker is pointing along the length of the boot, the speaker needs room to move so with it being that close to the back door the sound waves are likely to distort as they have no room to "travel". It will probably sound much better aswell.

Thanks for the advice, but I really don't listen to music high enough to notice any distortion. In fact I plan to get a smaller sub, probably an 8"
