Sweet 60  , we're gathering all the cruiser and Toyota 4X4 nuts we can. Seemed like a good idea and from our response there was a definite need. Welcome  Jason is from your neck of the woods and makes all the meetings I'm sure he'd welcome you to ride over here with him to say hello or vise versa. He's our BR agent

Here's a pic of my last FJ40 from the 2006 Lonestar Roundup at Katemcy Rocks.

Another clean looking rig, great picture. Your pictures always look like they could be in magazines. Either its the eye of the camera man/women or the rig making the pictures look so great.

Dude,

Anything modded on that rig?? Lockers etc...?
very nice.
...and I want to go next year...

First off, I can unequivocally say that the rig and the setting made the picture. Since I took the picture, I doubt the "eye of the cameraman" had much to do with it.  That vehicle was tight. Unlike Theriot, I have never had a problem buying something sight unseen. That yellow one was bought on ebay from Columbus, OH. It was delivered to Gretna and when I went to pick it up, it was the first time I saw it in person. The only issue with it was some rusty areas that I didn't have the time or inclination to deal with. I sold it to a Doctor in New Orleans last year. He is doing a total frame resto on it. There were no major mods to the vehicle. I put in a tuffy center console and it came with a brand new Old Man Emu 2.5" suspension with a new Old Man Emu steering stabilizer. The 31x10.50 Wranglers had never even been rolled. I really hated seeing it go, but I was on a mission to purchase my current rig. I think my current vehicle is the last upgrade for me. If I ever sell this one, it will be to go with something less asthetically pleasing so I won't have any reservations about putting it to the test in any situation.

I love the beast. Although I am not sure about the wording under the passenger side vent.
As for Katemcy, it was great. The entire area around it was great as well. The rocks were huge and it was lot of fun to see guys like Christo Slee, Nolan Grogen, Kowboy and many others put their rigs to the test. I would definitely go back there again. The picture of my yellow FJ40 was actually taken on the San Saba river which ran through the ranch property where we stayed. I crossed that thing manyt times - day & night. Really, you could just enjoy yourself riding top-down all over the countryside. Plenty of good two lane roads with virtually no traffic and lots of nice hills. Heck, just thinking about it makes me want to go back now!

Hey Funklegit, what's the story on the MASTER MARINE sticker? That's the place on Johnston by Doug Ashy, right?

Master Marine does that kind of work? Is that Bill Amy that owns it? I took my Yamaha there once and they did some good work fixing me up.

Bill's a good guy, and does great work. However he gets carried away and must monitor him. He dabbles with everything thing. You can take him your kids 50cc 4 wheeler and he'll bore it out to run like a banchee.

I taught his daughter. He did a good job on my outboard. He's got quite an operation back there.
