Welcome to mud! That is a great looking rig. Give her a good wash and wax and throw on some 33's
and she won't need a thing!

Welcome, and I'll 2nd the motion for some bigger shoes. Fill up those wheel wells a bit more, and she'll look even more sweet.
(So it took ya 2yrs + from 1st signupon Mud to 1st cruiser purchase? I thought my projects were slow! hehe)

I have always had an interest in land cruisers, just always bought Toyota mini trucks. then this deal popped up, and at $3,500 bucks i couldn't pass it up.
