    2011 FJ Built
    ICON Stage 6, RCI Skids, Blacked out
    So I have been around TW for a long time now and have had couple different trucks over my years here. Now I am out of the Tacomas but in an FJ Cruiser. This build is going to be more of a sleeperish EXPO build. I am keeping it simple and reliable so it can take me anywhere. I picked this FJ up out of SoCal and it already had the goodies on it but was used as a mall crawler for the guy to drive 1 mile to and from work. It is a 2011 with only 65k miles on it in perfect condition.

    Nice dude. LT sure is fun, but the maintenance gets old if you put a lot of miles on them. It will be nice to just drive it and not have to mess with anything. Now go drive it to some place I've never heard of. :D

    Thanks everyone! I should be taking it out this weekend. Still trying to figure out where I want to go.

    Monday I am going to lower the front about 1" or so and have the pressure in the rear shock changed over at sdhq.
