Brand new, before I decided to beat on it in the woods
My son Ben and I

After a 3" Toytec lift
and 34" Maxxis Bighorns
Son's approval

My son spotting me. Yankee Toys Fall Gathering run(despite the power lines it was a legal run)

nice rims very sharp looking ride .

stinky_finger · 03-08-2008, 03:38 PM

I'm hoping the mud season won't destroy them.
But theirs always touch up paint

owndog12 · 03-08-2008, 03:40 PM

wax them real good before each run thats what i've done before . keeps the stuff from sticking less scratches : )

ADRay · 03-08-2008, 04:33 PM

UPnOVER · 03-08-2008, 05:00 PM

commanchetruck · 03-09-2008, 08:06 PM

demello is my last name!

VoltsAndBolts · 03-10-2008, 05:54 PM

Chris,

The new wheels look sweet! I thought you were going to get the All-Pro bumper? Or was it just me, thinking of getting it, lol

stinky_finger · 03-10-2008, 07:46 PM

I was thinking of the allpro, but I read a lot of people complaining about how flimsy it is.
So I went with the Demello, it's about the same price and I like the looks better.

Good decision

stinky_finger · 03-16-2008, 06:41 PM

Just put on my Demello bumper today.
Went on nice, I have a lot better approach angle now, more recovery points and I can finally mount a winch.
The winch won't be for a while, I am officially broke now (the FJ and off roading has become more of an addiction then a hobby

)

Nice! The demello bumper is the first non-tube bumper I would go for. Mostly cos its cheapest hehe
I don't have money for that sort of stuff though. The winch is the first thing I went for. Did a little custom job to get a front hitch reciever, and got a cheapo winch. you on fjcruiserforums.com?

stinky_finger · 03-17-2008, 04:11 AM

Yes I am on the Fj forum
I got an extra $50 off the bumper because of it.

voodoochile · 03-17-2008, 06:31 AM

Nice looking bumper, Chris! Rig is looking great.

That thumbs up pic of your son is awesome. Nice to be a dad, isn't it?

VoltsAndBolts · 03-18-2008, 06:59 AM

stinky_finger · 03-18-2008, 07:13 AM

the all pro bumper is a joke the bumper ends are not braced and bend easy

i like the demello bumper good choice let me know how it holds up

babayota · 03-20-2008, 08:16 PM

There's a reason the allpro bumper is so cheap, I agree it looks very weak.

merkaba · 09-03-2008, 09:01 AM

cool rims...nice looking rig

stinky_finger · 06-14-2009, 06:49 AM

I haven't add to this thread in a while but I'm in the process of fabbing up some very heavy duty rear control. Lordac gave me his old stock control arms (thanks I owe you

) because the truck was driving like crap and now I can get accurate measurements to make some new ones.
Here's the bent one that I pulled out next to a good straight one.....I just can't understand why the truck was driving bad it's not that bent

I will be posting up pics of the new ones hopefully in the next couple of weeks when I can finally start on them.

powerlinek9 · 06-14-2009, 07:04 AM

those look just like FJ80 links

stinky_finger · 06-14-2009, 07:10 AM

They probably are the same, Toyota loves to reuse there designs through all of there vehicles. Which is awesome because it gives us more options to mix and match parts.

powerlinek9 · 06-14-2009, 07:27 AM

let's just long arm it.......

Damn man! How long were you driving it with the control arm all messed up? That's pretty bad!
