oakleyTRD · 10-29-2009, 12:43 PM

wheels and tires look like shit, so does the voodoo blue FJ paint and all the chro....hold on............

ok im better now. im saddened by the destruction of a once nice vehicle

Agent475 · 10-29-2009, 01:19 PM

30k bones??? Eff that... I'd get a second Taco JUST for off-roading and the comment at the bottome of the ad about "miles unknown" and digital speedo as a replacement during restoration...

First, I really wouldn't consider this a "restoration"... more of a "Pimp-My-Ride"... I'm suprised that FMF isn't somewhere there smiling and giving a thumbs up.

Second, why would I want to buy a vehicle that has unknown miles on the engine??

I bet it turns up in Los Angeles, gold plated billet wheels with O-ring tires. I can see it now. They totaled a perfectly good FJ, someone needs to get there ass kicked.

Example of the problem with resto-mods... What looks good to you, isn't everybody's cup-o-tea.

yup. its not worth modding cars/trucks that bring in good money in stock form.

I'm sure it will still be there in a couple of months.
