Angry green Turtle....

Here is where I started... 2011 FJ Cruiser NSSE


[/url][/img]

roof rack, steelies... pretty much completely stock

At 75 miles I decided it needed a lift,rock rails, balcked out windows, wheels and tires... I went with 3" OME, beilstein shocks, 17" black XD Cranks, 285 nitto terra grapplers.....][/url][/img]

I thought I wanted a custom bumper that incorporated plate and tube... so this was my attempt.[/url][/img] I didnt really like how it turned out... so I went bought something else.[/url]... Evolution One Rear Bumper... this gets put on soon..

Next on the list.. intall Wyoto Front Bumper, buy Skid Plates, Warrior product Pre Runner Lights and drop in basket... well if i have save enough money.

Cool you made your own tube bumper. I have plans to start fabbing something up, what I lack is the skill. LOL

Why does it have to be an "angry" turtle??....why not a ninja turtle???







Welcome....just a little razzing about the turtle being angry.

I dig the rear bumper. I just did my own too. Cheers to you for being willing and able to build stuff for your FJ.

I know a guy that does custom metal work... I showed him what i wanted and he build it.

He could probably make some money with this group. Would he be interested?

If anyone is interested in custom work...I'll give you his phone number.

Expedition One Bumper installed...too easy.

Looks good.

Did I see you in Layton today about 5:45ish?

I was passing Layton about that time... I was on the 15South.

It wasn't you then, I was on 84 near Sunset drive when I peeped an all green with black rims. I didn't get a good look at the wheels so I thought I'd ask.

Out of curiosity what did you do with your steelies?

I still have them.

Are you looking to part with them?

I get back into town on Fri... make me an offer.

So I went to Expedition One in Ogden to pick up my front bumper... they said that it be easier just to put it on than to place it in the back of my rig... After about 20 min I was on my way back to my shop to secure it all... Expedition one are a bunch of good dudes, nothing but respect for those guys who help me put it on my rig. thanks.

Well here it is... next up lights, light racks and skid plates???

I did the same thing...put the bumper on with them in their shop...they even wired my lights and winch at the same time since they've done it numerous times and could do it in minutes.

Good looking bumper. Just a heads up for you guys. I think I'm getting hooked up with MotoAlliance to sell their Viper winches. Brad is selling the ATV ones so I don't plan to do anything with those. But I should be able to get you guys a good price on them (those that haven't already bought one (I know Bob, Brad, & Greg for sure)

^^^ Very nice Brett!

LEO its sick with your new bumpers. now we just gotta take on a trail.

I got a sweak everytime i close my doors...I think my bumper is hitting the AC line bolt... I have to shave it down or put in a spacer..

You might just get a piece of sprinkler black flexi, cut it and wrap your AC line. I think you can flip on of the mounting brackets or something too (It's been a while so I forget) That AC line is fragile though I'm worried about mine after my winch cables rubbed it for a bit. We'll see how it does.

P.S. on the steelies. I do want them but it will be a bit before I can offer you a fair price for them. (new baby sucking my money).

So I found my sweak on my rig.. Took care of it with some rubber pieces... all better now.
Since changing my front bumper my windshield wiper fluid has been hanging down. I decided to go with the Expedition one windshield wiper fluid canister.
