    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.

    Hell with a truck like that you could call it FAG and it would still be cool. Super nice rig man.

    LOL...I know, but it's not only my hobby, but my release for the stress of everyday life. It allows me to get away from everything. ;)

    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
