    Sure...;)

    Thank for the kind words, yes I spent a lot of time researching everything that went into the vehicle. I'm building it as an Expedition vehicle. I have a few more things I need to do to it, but it's at a stage where it functions like I want it to.

    I myself, find that is what life is all about, getting out there and enjoying it. That is why I built it the way I did, I get to see things that 99% of the human population will never see or experience. :)

    Thanks, I could tell you, but then I would have to .........J/K

    I'm a PI and an SRT Officer for a National Company. :D

    LOL

    Thanks :)

    LOL...Close, but no....:D

    It's a Lowrance BAJA 540c GPS. ;)

    yes, I have a few. :p

    Here is a couple but not high res, If I posted them, they would be to large to really see them on here.

    Fording a creek on the Imogene Trail in Ouray, CO.

    It would cost Toyota way to much to sell them like this one is built. I doubt, anyone would want to dish out $60,000 for an FJ, but then again, maybe some would. :D
