    Yeh, that was Petersons Off-Road's SEMA's rig about 4 years ago, it was the very first SAS. The Raptor is not a rock crawler, if I wanted a Rock Buggy, I wouldn't do it with an FJ, I'd build a buggy from the ground up. Mine is an Expedition Vehicle, to get out there and get you back home safe. Covering a very diverse types of terrian. :)

    thats nice you might have got me here. but you cant compare a truck that has a boat load of sponsored parts with unlimited money and shops to do the work. still sweet minus the green

    agreed...they are 2 totally different purpose rigs...and both are really sweet...but i agree with you that i wouldnt build a rock buggy out of an FJ...

    i kind of like the green...sets it off i think...but youre right...unlimited funds make a build go a lot differently

    Yeh, it is nice....But your right, they can afford to build it the way they want very quickly....It's taken me about a year and $25,000.00 to mine with no sponsers :eek: Ouch...It only hurts when I post that number up. :(

    Yep ;)

    LOL Thanks :rolleyes:
