Year One
Full of piddly little aesthetic mods and such.

I purchased it on 3/12/11 from Yokem Toyota in Shreveport, LA. Awesome group of guys over there. The next week I broke her in on a trip to Orange Beach

Orange Beach, AL 3/29/11

Added a Aries Brush Guard and 2 Hella 500's

And I installed a Curt Receiver Hitch to add my Yakima Bike rack

Installed and later removed a Cobra CB with a 26" Mag mount I got from Wal-Mart

Getting in the Christmas spirit with some roof rack Christmas lights!

Blacked out Sport rims

LED Dash conversion, thanks Scott (eagle5521)!

Plasti-Dipped Grille

 

[jbmccul]

Now the real mods begin

Installed an OME/Toytec light duty 3" lift. Affectionately known as Operation Gingerlift! Big thanks to Brunes and everyone else in Cajun Yotas that helped out

Supervision

Then began the search for rubber. Matt (Blueanimal) gave me 4 Firestone Desination MT's that he had laying around and was kind enough to let me borrow his rims until I could get them swapped over

Added a set of Satin Black FJ Cruiser wheels with the Destination MT's

Spidertrax 1.25" Hub Centric Wheel Spacers and BHLM

Added my BFGoodrich KM1's and relocated my CB antenna mount

Thanks man, it's still got a long way to go!

 

[SouthernSS]

You ready for SCC?

 

[jbmccul]

I'm not going to be making the trek to SCC this year. With school I wouldn't be able to leave Baton Rouge until about 4 on Friday and would have to leave pretty early Sunday to make it back. It's not worth it to me to drive 16 hours and only be able to wheel one day. That's why I went on the Kisatchie trip this weekend.

Looks great but boo on the V6.

I love my fuel sipping V6, I live about 30 feet above sea level so it has plenty of power. It's the lack of 4wd that really bugs me

 

[04UZJ100]

Yea, shoulda had a V8. I do like your build, though.

 

[The Jade Bean]

I just realized your rigs only 2WD! You planning on converting later? Nice...tearing up the trails anyway.

That would be a waste of money.

I've been told on the Taco of similar year it's not that much...didn't think it would be much different.

-Daniel

That would be a waste of money.

The only reason I would convert it to 4x4 is if I went SFA and uses it as just a trail rig. Since I'm only a sophomore in college I'm really just planning on tying up a few loose ends and leaving it until I graduate. Or, the more likely scenario will have me trading it in for a 2013 Cement Gray FJ TT after graduation and mod that up.

 

[The Jade Bean]

Ahhh...to be young again!

[jbmccul]

Remember, you're only as old as you feel!

 

[jbmccul]

Added my custom cargo drawers
