Very clean build so far Hey how do you like those Kragen HID's? I have been eyeing those, decent quality of light?

the quality of light is outstanding for a relatively inexpensive light, im actually planning on building a light bar for my arb rack so i can mount 4-5 of the 7" Kragens up there.

two things that do/did bother me was the way they adjust the height, they couldve used smaller notches/teeth that would provide more of a micro adjustment, and the fact they didnt come with a relay (so youll have to get that on your own.

Thanks!!! that pic was taken on Mount Washington.

And here I was all about to say "Nice Mt. Washington pic" Been up there so many times I know that road by heart.

Anyways, good looking FJ.

jerseymike, nice rig. Ever thought of the MAF aux. fuel tank to "top it off?" The stock fuel range sucks. With the aux tank, one can get 400 miles off pavement miles. A real bonus when you're out and about.
