I have a passion for 4x4 vehicles and this channel has been designed to showcase it! We currently have an FJ Cruiser and a couple Jeep Wranglers so most of our videos will focus around those for the time being, but who knows what the future will bring!

    Finally tackled this project. It was a bit more time consuming than I anticipated, but got it done with the help of this video. I now have a light bar, ditch lights and reverse lights on toggles along with USB charging ports on both the driver and pass. side. Many thanks!

    Love the chrome grill. I have one on my flame red 04 TJ. It's the only chrome on my Jeep besides my wheel center caps... everything else is red and black. I agree, it's a throwback to the old CJ's and I think they are cool.

    For those who don't want to slam the door so many times, you can just push the door button located in the door jam until the last time where you leave the door closed. It's just faster and more simple.

    Thanks you so much, i just did mine, works like a charm. Bought the part from wrecker, it was from 2008 fj and mine was 2010, then bought the key/fob from amazon for the 2010 model( the one that keyfob and key in single piece ) but didn’t get the key cut. I just use the fob,im still thinking if will get the keys cut so im gonna have a key and fob in one piece but im cheap Lol

    Generally I don’t like blaming owners for design mistakes. Jeep should have put drainage holes on the frame to keep the cars from rusting. But also, there are some jeep owners who think their car is the star of a bdsm film and needs to be beat up and destroyed. Why are you driving your car in mud? It is not going to survive that shit.

    In the beginning of the video you said you didnt like the TMR Customs crossmember but you were only using it because you already had it. If you were doing it over today (like me) who would you buy the crossmember kit from? Thanks! Also great job, watched every episode!

  • @dironaa
    @dironaa2 ай бұрын

    Hope this isn’t too late, but if I were to do it again I’d rigid mount the crossmember to the frame (still making it removable with bolts) and exclude the bushings on the ends of the crossmember, then use a single bushing right where the transmission mounts to the crossmember using either something like a UCF LoPro mount or using a YJ spring bushing inside a piece of DOM tubing (you can find more info on this at jeepforum.com). I’d also consider making the crossmember out of square tubing instead of round, but would need to think about that a little more.

    Ordered a replacement switch as while other interior lights come on, my driver's side door light doesn't, and the original 2006 switch looks a bit worse for wear and might be the problem. Thumb up, thanks for this! I detached the switch but neglected to hold on to the wiring and it fell behind the door pillar, so I'm going to try to grab it with either a long pair of tweezers or some surgical forceps so I can bring it out just enough to hook in the replacement switch. Also, bulb I'm trying to use is an LED so know polarity might factor in as well.

    ​@@dironaa just replaced the switch, fortunately popping the pillar panel made it easy to grab the connector and hook it up, all's good there. Now, despite the new switch, although dash shows door ajar, both the outdoor (under mirror) and indoor courtesy lights don't come on! Dome fuse (#10) is good.

    I have a 2009 4Runner, and I want to fully redo the frame and metal parts. My concern is the inside of the frame. Since this cannot be seen, nor can I clean it out properly, Im not sure how to do this so I can spray it. Because from what Im aware, you need to clean off the rust inside before applying any sprays - because if you don't, then you'll just trap in the moisture even more, rusting it out faster.

  • @dironaa
    @dironaa7 ай бұрын

    You don’t need to clean the inside if you apply an oil product like Fluid Film or NH oil undercoating. An oil will soak into the crevices and irregularities and prevent water from accumulating
