I finally got tired of the T15 sitting in my apt so I got on some warm clothes and had at it. Very happy I did, super easy to install and I can't wait to get lifted and start wheeling. I also did the cupholder mod a while back, got a pic finally. The second pic shows where I have the wood grain dash parts. It originally came with only the radio surround as wood and the rest was black. I found the rest of the parts at the local yard to make it match. I also swapped a newer dash pad on since mine was cracked under the airbag. That was a PITA but looks great now.



You guys may get a kick out of this pic

My neighbor wanted to see me get stuck I guess b/c I let him talk me into driving into this little ravine. He just wanted to pull me out with his YJ. Dark outside so the pics from far enough back to see how bad it was didn't take well but it was funny at the time. It was wet and all I did was spin and slide.
For the cupholder mod I was able to find a console with rear heat. I bought the console and the ebrake assembly and mounting bracket so the only mod I had to do to it was break off the extensions off of the bottom. No trimming was needed on the sides at all, well worth the money.

 

Very nice
Congrats on the bumper, I want one so bad and a BruceTS rear bumper. Ha Ha, if only money wasn't an issue. I live in an apartment complex and it sucks because sometimes I don't have the room to work on my rig. I am glad the install went great. Did it come with the instructions on how to remove the stock bumper plus the instuctions on how to install?

Thanks man! It comes with install instructions but nothing about removing the existing bumper. I've been reading up on 4Runners.org on his T17 install, he describes removing the factory bumper really well, it went just like his writeup said. I bought it used from a guy on the board, well worth the money. My neighbor at the apt. has an ARB for my wifey's XJ that I think we're going to buy soon. I'd love to have a rear bumper but $$ is definitely tight.

 

Good work!what is the circular thingy in the right hand cup recess??

 

Nice bumper. I'd like one to replace my current bent stocker

Did you buy it from Sonoransteel?

 

very nice makes me wish i had some money to buy one of those

 

lookin' good! i wish it was nice enough to work outside here

 

Spool of wire to add more crap to my list of mods. I'm adding some more 12V outlets. I tried using stock ones but for some reason you can't just add a + and a ground. The aftermarket ones you can.

 

It was 35 outside but dry so I was like, SCREW IT!

 

Looks nice on there, congrats.
