@ Crazy driver: yea! sorry that i missed it out

its just the OEM mirrors which i blacked out and the vinyl in that i just painted yellow.

@ Taseem : yeah you are right!! some are meant to be moded and others are not

@ crazyjeeperk: i would love to but the thing is that it adds weight and this part of the area we go at high speeds and more weight = less power :( and that winch is used if you have a winching point and here we dont have a tree or a rock to do so.

More to come - Already ordered TRD Exhaust and Doug Throley Headers .

Good looking FJC ngnoble. Have you done anything for the rear bumper? Any needs and plans to add lockers? ARB lockers are very popular with the FJ Cruiser owners here in US

I disagree. FJ is a very capable vehicle for a family of 4.

Thanks buddy! by the way rear bumper is not required for the FJC as the departure angle is a lot and adding up weight is not recommended for a desert runner. For lockers it has a rear diff lock which is more than sufficient for desert duty and performs flawlessly.
