And wicked horrible mileage in the FJ. At least with the Wrangler you could "navigate" her towards the 4-banger.

Yeah, I think I did the same too man. I got really comfortable with my Icon setup...

What all have you done to yours? I love the Iceberg TT by the way. Wished I had been an early adopter to the FJ as the TT was mucho cooler to begin with!

Holy shit! I had no clue Weds made truck wheels. I came REALLY close to going with bronze Volk TE37s but I just couldn't justify dropping near 5k on 5 wheels for a truck. How freaking badass would that be though?!?

Icon Stage 6 set-up, TRD Supercharger and CAI, Full Ricochet skids, Expedition 1 front bumper with PIAA 510s and 520s (which I have yet to wire up, fail), Gobi Stealth rack, Boztec Diff skid, Rocktec rear LCA skids, springtail side MPAC mount, BFG KM2s 285s and a few other minor mods (CB wired up, GPS etc) Still want to put more but the 86 has taken mod priority lately haha.

Yeah I was totally going to buy a silver FJ back in 07 but was going to wait until I got home from the Army. As soon as I saw they were going to release the White TT, I decided to wait for it and I picked one up in April 08. I have a bit of a thing for white cars if you haven't noticed lol. My cars before the FJ and 86 were an '03 RSX Type-S, and a '90 Honda Accord(first car), guess what color. lol

Tacos were the majority of vehicles I saw today on northern California 36 and 96.
They're the go-to it looks like. Some of the locals were running with the mudders into the inside drainage on the corners.
They knew the road and I let them past as fast as I could. 8)

I had a 2001 Pre runner I bought brand new in October of 2000. Had 7 miles on it when I drove it home. It was my first new vehicle. Miss it sometimes. Traded it in with 163,000 miles.
