Got the bumper on



and cut all the link brackets off the FJ cruiser rear axle.



My tire carrier hinge didnt show up in time and i didnt order my latch in time...I got lucky and Ballistic is having a sale this weekend and im ordering my plate for the tire mount. I think i can have the rear axle sitting under the truck before i go on vacation. I should come back to a diamond front housing.

new rear axle...the new width, is 58'' outside of the tire to outside of the tire. It looks funny but i like it.

this will NEVER have an exo. Not my thing. I may do a bed cage just for a little bit of support if it goes over again but I like it clean looking on the outside
