Bashing the FJ (already had tons of scratches before the paper plates came off)

This thing has seen all sorts of weather conditions in all sorts of places.


Bobsledding in the FJ is Fun (of course I couldn't capture myself and turning around would have taken 45 minutes to do it again)

No Power Steering... 6 Speed Manual Transmission... 3" lift helps you clear most things without having a high center of gravity...

Being on 2 wheels can be quite interesting

A properly built truck can be loads of fun. I learned a lot after getting rid of my heavily modded MR2 Spyder. Don't get rid of a vehicle if it serves a specific purpose. You'll miss it.

The FJ will probably stay. By this summer, I'm sure I'll have a strong urge to go camping/off roading.

Edit: For those concerned with lighting. No HID main beams. Those are LED headlights. 2x foul weather driving, 2x foul weather fog, 4x 9" HID (from my HMMWV in Iraq, personal purchase), and 2x 35 watt pointing to obliques . Oh one backup lamp on a 3 way switch.
