and WASTA!

In Saudi there is no problem. Parts already been approved before.

but here is different, steel bumpers are not allowed, but yet get sold,
can lead to fine and impound,

You might be right - but last I asked, at the Al Ain muroor directly to the Head of the Inspections, if the modification is accompanied by a letter from the authorized dealer approving the mod, then it is entered into the muroor computer system and it passes all further inspections. He further explained that the modifications that cause concern are turbo-chargers and Nitrox: headers are fine, high-flow air intake is fine, larger tyres are fine (unless sticking too far out), muffler is fine as long as not too noisy, body accessories are fine if with dealer letter.

Sorry guys, name changed to CYCLONE (not the other cyclone ) and here is the final production look of the CYCLONE (on sale in Saudi from 1st October 2010)

Not necessarily an FJ fan but it does look nice. So does this mean that steel bumpers are now legal or we still have to get them removed before registration?

Nice 8)

Although I think the customers will like the yellow colour-coding on the rims, I personally would have blacked out the wheels to match the dark smokey look of the headlights, steel pipes and window tint.

It will go on sale in Saudi, tintin, where I suppose laws governing stell bumpers are different. You can prolly weld on 3-foot sharp teeth in KSA! LOL

Very true PR, lets see what I get tomorrow when I go register. No steel bumpers but lift, roof lights, and tires sticking out a little! Wish me luck

If I were you I'd remove the roof lights just so you can squeak through. Just a couple of bolts. Lift and wheels should be fine, the mounts for the roof lights might cause a little hesitation on the inspector's part, but with roof lights glaring in his face I think he''ll have to apply the book. And then he'll note down everything! LOL

In Al Ain?

I really don't want to remove the lights as they are not bolted down, they are fitted with some evil 3M double sided sticky tape. That stuff is extremely strong and a PITA to remove!!!
I may look into removing it though and then bolting the lights to the roof bars for future removal!

Nah mate, in AUH
