    Thanks for the inquiry. Without it, We'd not have clued in that our sig file wasn't "hot" anymore.
    We are www.PureFJCruiser, www.PureTacoma, www.Pure4Runner, www.PureTundra, etc... alive and well in beautiful (but "weird") ATX. Ha.

    It will be nice to FINALLY get to cars and coffee and meet you guys.

    ... now I gotta get back to fixing the sig file we're using. DOH!:annoyed:

    As for actual BUILD details, we don't have a page yet, just a gallery on the FJ here ...http://www.purefjcruiser.com/gallery/

    Husband/owner says he'd "rather be wrenching than writing"
    (the build page) - ha. Feedback and constructive criticism all welcome of course...

    Wow, all things considered you are lucky it happened then and there.

    Retire it and get Jeff's access cab!

    Right?? Could've been so much worse

    No idea what I'm gonna do. Love the truck. Want to SAS it. If I were to sell it I'd buy a rock crawler before anything else

    So the Taco I bought by myself 100%. Then my parents bought my brother a brand new Jetta, and are going to buy my youngest brother a car. I never complained about it or anything. When the Taco was having her CV fits, they offered to buy me a beater truck. We split the Tundra and settled on that since everything we test drove was junk. The one condition is im NOT allowed to mod it.

    And I've been thinking about it for some time now man. She's just been working so damn well lately until this happened
