    unfortunately prices won't be declining too fast since they're done...but good thing is, they'll be parts available for these things for a while...either directly from Toyota, aftermarket or the fact that a majority of the drivetrain is the same as our trucks

    thanks man..

    can't wait to tear into this beauty and get some dirt on it again :D

    going to be getting eventually...new suspension, new bumpers, new radio, new cb, 34s or 35s, and blacked out

    depends on the terrain we'll be traveling...

    the FJ has the rack on it, so i can transfer the RTT to the FJ for overnight trips if needed...

    any hard trail, my rig will be the horse

    after i'm done with the FJ, i hope to be able to tackle most everything my truck can...possibly easier with the shorter WB and body..

    it'll be hard for me not to want to take both though...especially on trips like we just did through N. SRS..it would be nice to have another truck there to help with recovery or worst case, a way out to get help/parts/etc..but then double gas bills which would suck..neither are great in MPG

    for instance, moab, we'll be taking both...probably next trip into the swell we'll take both for the reasons listed above..

    trails close by, we'll most likely be taking two as the gas won't be too bad and would be cool to get them both up together...

    i know i'm looking forward to wheeling with the FJ either way...even if i'm navigator/spotter/beer drinker
