Black Out project

After looking at the forum for quite a while I found that Demello was selling off some bumper parts. I picked up a full set of wings and the middle valance in the front. Purchasing some satin black paint at Home Depot was very cheap. I did the whole set with four coats with three cans. I also re-painted the off-road rims with flat black and put on a few coats of clear coat on top.

The results:

Full black out with rims. No mall cruiser here! :)

Front bumper wing/valance with stockies.

Both wings and center valance

Rear wing

Hitch Bike Rack

After looking around for another bike rack to put on the roof and finding out that the same USED one that I had already was selling for $50-$80 on ebay I decided to look around for a nice hitch rack. I came across a website that was selling a Yakima swing arm 4 bike hitch rack that was only $200 SHIPPED! So I bought one. I wasn't expecting it to clear the FJ door but, to my amazement, it did. I was very pleased with the quality and like that I can use it for both a stand to tune my bikes and as a transport. The best thing is that it came with a hitch pin lock and the integrated bike lock!
