I finally got around to installing my bumper, winch, rock rails and upper a-arms from all pro. Here's the pics.

 

nice thats looking good. Although i dont think i like the look of that stinger on that bumper. It seems that it can unbolt i would if it were me, but hey it's just my 2 cents. Like i said tho it all looks great!!

 

Looks good man, very classy looking with the black...But boy it seems super tall with that rack up there. Are you planning on getting bigger tires? Seems like bigger would look very nice under that, although it may just be the picture. Anyway NICE!!!!
I like it

looks sweet, but I agree, the double yak fairings looks odd... and tall.

Thought about painting that roof black? I think that would look sweet!

 

The tires on there are bigger than stock already, but I had thought about getting some bigger M/Ts at some point. Yeah the rack makes it look tall but I don't mind it so much, I guess I've gotten used to it plus it makes a great place to store gear for camping etc. I installed the second fairing to cure the wind related roof vibration I was experiencing with the rack on there in the first place. Thanks for the comments.

 

Looks good Will.
Will see it in person in a few weeks.

Was hoping to have my 3" OME lift, ARB bumper, and my old winch on in time for the run, but ARB is still waiting on bumpers to come in via ship.

What coating is on the bumper and sliderz?

 

will, what are your cleavis's attached too, the bumper or something on the vehicle itself ?

i like the loadwarrior on the top of the rack, dont listen to the naysayers, lol.
im going to have mine set up so i can detach mine and store it in my shop when not in use, since ill also be using the stock rack during the winter for snowboarding.

This is a big secret but I'll let it out anyway. It's Rustoleum textured black spray paint from Wal Mart! It took me a few patient evenings to paint the bumper and sliders up. I figure this way when I bang things I just re-spray and it'll look good as new, where as with some fancy coating I'd have to figure out what to do with it.

So far it's held up well, I went to Evan's creek sunday and pressure washed everything off today and nothing blew off. I highly reccomend this paint for things like sliders and bumpers.

 

Are the tires in the pictures the 285's? They look oddly narrow for that size.

 

Will, FJ looks awesome. I like the All-pro bumper, the ARB's are just too bulky IMO.

 

all-pro fj bumper is definitely the best, imo

 

Looks good Will!!! Very nice. Im sure it works, and it looks okay, Im just terribly sure about the double yaks up top...

 

Rocko, I'm glad you mentioned the double yaks, because somebody had to.

diggin the steel tho! that might be the best hoop that i've seen so far.

 

looks awesome.. i actually saw an fj with a bumper almost like that except the stinger wasnt as tall.. maybe topped out to the middle of the grill..

do you think the second fairing helps gas mileage? I have that yak rack on mine and I also have another fairing that I used for the bars and snowboard racks.

 

my fj would look like that except a different color if i had one.

 

Yeah, the second fairing definitely helped. When I initially put the setup together I had just the upper on that comes with the load warrior on there and I got INSANE vibration from the roof at speeds above 65mph on the highway, my gas mileage also went south something fierce. I took the fairing off the rack setup I had for my Scion TC(got traded in on the Cruiser) and slapped it on. No more noise, no more wind issues. I think the logo looks ugly but I haven't found a way to remove it yet, plus I don't care enough to really worry about it.

As for the bumper, I honestly prefered the ARB bumper initially, I think the silver color that All Pro shows their bumper in looks terrible(my opinion your may vary). After seeing one that someone had done in black I changed my mind and went ahead and ordered one. So far I'm happy with it, obviously it improves your approach and departure angles somewhat and allows you to tap things without tearing up the weak stock plastic.
