🛠 1/3/22 Build Week Group

I have this kit in the garage, just need to make the time to install them.
To be honest, it looked a lot more involved to remove the front grille than I wanted to do, but you are giving me some hope.

I am expecting my Baja Design 8Pk kit this weekend, so I might make it a full lighting project.

Alvin it takes 10 minutes tops to remove the grill, I did it the other day when I tinted the side markers. Only thing that slowed me down was a few of the little pop rivets or whatever you call them. They were turned so it was hard to get under them to pop them up.

Josh, thanks.. I feel better about doing that now. I opened the hood the other day and said, no thanks... too many fasteners

Yeah… I was a little apprehensive to pull the grill off as well… but super easy and the video is spot on in instruction

Just Tampa, first time here and it’s decent. Wasn’t able to make it out to St. Pete which I’ve heard is a nice area.

I’m on the other side of Florida…Tampa/St Pete is decent. Although lately I usually end up in Dunedin, 7 breweries all within walking distance.

I chat with JJ from IAG from time to time. I just told him the other day I have desire to be a poser and do these as well but wanted to see if they had anything in the works before buying something from Amazon, etc... It looks like they might end up offering these at some point so I will be waiting for the time being. I do like the look!

I did see somewhere (I think on YouTube) that someone offers a complete kit for $120 or something like that but honestly, to trim the lights and have a few feet of wire… $16 for lights and a bit of wire and connectors is a far cry from $120

Spamming my front end again - what if the raptor LEDs went at the bottom of the grill, where it has a space?

https://broncoledshop.com/ has the premade ones. They are actually pretty decent quality. (They are sold out at the moment though.) Here are some pics I have of them installed in my grille.

I did buy this set: "Truning Max Smoked White Front / Center Grille LED Light DRL Lamps For Toyota FJ Cruiser 2007-2014" off Amazon back in February and cut the corners out similar to the youtube video @Jazer posted but one of the lights was defective and the wire wasn't soldered to the back correctly and when I reordered them Amazon sent the wrong color as a replacement and then the ones I wanted were out of stock...lmao. So I gave in and ordered the ones from Bronco LED shop the day they were released and I am happy with them. They are pretty much identical to the mentioned video just cut out a little cleaner than I was able to do. (But, I'm OCD about stuff like that.) The wiring harness is really nice. The only thing I would change would be to make the wires able to disconnect from the wiring harness like the set I bought from Amazon.

I have had my grille apart a handful of times already and this style push pin remover works EXCELLENT since the pins are a little bit recessed in the top of the grille. (But, a screwdriver works too....)

Well, whaddya think?

Painted mirrors and door handles.

The WildTraks originally had these body painted; I was bummed they didn't paint them commencing in 2022.

I may be able to make it, but will have friends / coworkers in town that might pull me away.

got this in an email from the company I bought my front plate holder from. Best April fools ever, or worst product of all time?

My flaps from rokblokz surprisingly just shipped, they were saying weeks lead time.
