Glad you liked the FJ overall, at this point we don't find us wanting or needed more, today My wife wanted the color and it really fits for us out on the trail and in town. We are moving to Kauai in a year and she though it was a better island color.

To answer some of your questions: the box on the top rack is a Tuffy FJ security box. We like to store more on top than in the vehicle. Used more for camp stove, lantern so it not banging around. At night, we put or food stuff so the animals don't get into it.
The tires are ProComp 33x 12.5R17Lt on Ridgeline 17x 9 rims with standard spacing.
Expedition One has brush guard options, we just choose the cleaner look. Roof rack is stock and has shovel / ax mount, highlift jack, Tuffy box and low profile boat gas tank that we havea hose and bulb pump so you can fill with out lugging a gas can around.
We run a 6 speed manual and overall you get alot from and standard over and automatic except rock crawling where it takes practice. We holed the stock skid plate in minutes on a rock path. Now the underneath is fully protected wit 1/4 plate. PS, the manual is full time 4WD and there are threads on the forum that fully explain the diferences. In the end it really is just personal preference.

Attached a few final pictures so you can see it overall.
