Lesonal Red paint
TJM look front bumper & custom made (removable) bullbar in satin black
Custom made slider & roll cage from 1.5”, 3mm thick pipe & spare tire rack

Breathers for both diffs and transfer case

Suspension and Steering

A new set of wheels. Well they're not really new, it's a 2nd hand from a standard Daihatsu Taft. Fits perfectly, and because of the wheel width (6", original Sierra's wheel is 5.5") and its negative offset, my Sierra track width is slightly wider, thus the tire is no longer covered by the flares (need to wash the car more often, but it looks cooler I think).

The 2nd hand Ramsey REP8000 and a new custom made roller. I put the winch control box under the hood (safer & far from water), and installed a winch control switches in the cabin. The toggle switch is for the on/off (right hand of the steering wheel), and the switch to operate the winch was put next to the AC (using power window switch - see red circle).

Well, the used winch have been tested in a couple offroad trips and so far it's OK. It's a bit slow compares to Warn winches but never fail to deliver (UPDATES: 1 failure so far, loose connection to the motor), of course I only used it to pull my lightweight Sierra (±2500 lbs max), never really tested to pull out a heavy FJ-40.

Branch wire and a tiny-mini spot lights ($4, cheap ..:-)

A custom made utility box (made from aluminum diamond plate) and a cheap plastic jerrycan for fresh water was added at the back of the Sierra (removable - for off-road only).

Nice Car. I have a samurai, never knew about the difference between the Samurai and the Sierra. I can see the dashboard is smaller, and the grill is different. Nice car.
