I'm not the one selling it.

I'll end up being the one working on it when the buyer doesn't like the Vibes from those tires. Our sales dep. keeps doing this to base-model trucks, no ATRAC even. The last one was Voodoo with OME 3'.
One of our techs bought a Taco, lifted 4X4 but no diff lock.

So....
A) it isn't even your rig?
B) he got the paint job for free?

Why are you posting about somebody elses rig, AND if somebody said hey Aggie, I will paint your truck for free but will make it look like crap, do you think I would take it? I will give you two guesses but you only need one...

looks ok to me. all functional mods and the paint is personal preference, it's the owner's truck and if he/she likes it then that's all that's important. At the very least, the paint is well done.

I am not trying to start anything at all, but what did you just say? Can you clarify that cause now I am confused. I am an Aggie, not my name is Aggie. And this is a Land Cruiser site I think for people who are enthusiastic about land cruiser's and toyotas so you belong in the right place I just thought I would help you out and post a pic of whoevers rig it is, since it isnt yours.

If tools-r-us took all those photos, how can he be spotting you ? Actually, a number of your photos and 1 of Pacman73's are my handiwork ...So if you want the full size originals...

Thanks Matt for the added pics. It gives me some ideas on how to make mine. I like the rear tire mount. After seeing Posion Spiders stinger/tire mount I've been trying to think of a way to make it work like yours. I still need to get a rear bumper first before I can start an exo.

Thanks for the comments. I got the idea after seeing the one poisen spyder has on thier website. It will be sweet once I get the quick release pins made not to metion how easy it will be to get into the back half. Good luck on your future project.

I saw that one and learned some good lessons on what I wanted for my project. 3 piece removal because I dont own a fork lift. Tighter fitting bends to match body lines. Ian at extreme 4x4 builds awsome projects and is one of the best builders on TV. His demos on gearing are amazing.
Mine will be even stronger once I get the roof section done. I played basketball at OHIO in college instead of professional wrestling. Since then with work and family you dont get chances to lift and work out 6 times a week. Im pushing 3 hundo right now and would like to slim it down to a small 260lbs. Let me know if you know any secrets.

Here is a good shot of Matt's rear tire carrier.



I'm the Blue FJ Cruiser behind Matt in all these photos... Here are a few of my truck. I'm running the AllPro lift front and rear and 33" tires.

I checked your photo log from the trip today. You took some awsome pics. Was that you sitting on the edge of that rock formaiton with your legs dangling? If so you are a fricken nut job. What ever happened to safety first? Just playin your the man and thanks for all these cool pics.

Thanks Drew. Great pictures. Moab is my favorite vacation spot. We moved into a new house and had to skip Cruise Moab this year. That trailer looks like a great piece of gear to have.

Here is a pic of our trip to Moab in April on Steel Bender.
TOYTECLIFT with custom rear coils and 285's

FabFours bumper with added brush guard that I designed. Once their rear bumper comes out then I'll start my EXO.

Great looking pics TiSilver.

Drew, how do you like the Chaser? I have seriously been considering one but trying to get it to the East is going to be tough.

Those pics are awsome. I am in Colorado every now and again. We should go wheelin some time. I was out in the golden area by keystone and crested butte a few weeks ago. I took a beating on a freinds snowmobile 2600 in damages. I will stick with four wheelin. Keep those pics coming. You said your rear coils were custom. What are the specs on those?
Thanks,
Matt

mjager24 - My custom coils are 2 1/2" longer than stock and about 10% stiffer. This gave me a nice smooth ride for daily driving but a added alot of flex for trails. Part # FJ3-FRCC from http://www.toyteclifts.com/fjcruiser...ruiserliftkits . We are just waiting for the snow to melt off but would be happy to wheel with you when you are in town.
