Lets line up a plasma so we get the lines straight. Say the word, I wondered if there were anyone in the 60's forum that took a 4-Runner roll-bar widened it and put it in a 60. Also it would take some time but I bet you can make it a removeable hard-top like a 4-Runner.
We can also do a fj60 front end conversion like this one.

I got my first good glimpse of it this morning. Definitely stout looking. Good job Scott. I'm sure you're pumped to have that on.

Definitely stout and I especially like the protection that it provides to the WARN 8274...after spending that kinda money on a winch, it would be terrible to destroy it in a minor accident.

More inspiration. I like that!
Just curious, and I don't exactly mean to hijack, but, how do you rig up lights like that?

No sure on the question in the rear we talked him in to going back with factory lights which he's replacing the quarter panels with new ones since they cut them up for beep lights pictures of front bib above with missing light have cans that bolt into those sockets to hold the head lights.

Sorry, I was talking about the pic titled "Meat Wagon". I don't see it anymore though. I'm talking about those lights that mount up on the roof rack.

The wheel I have to give away is for your rig Cole...its in perfect shape...
Looks nice, How much lift is that?
BTW: I'll bring the brake pads and wheel(if you want it) to the Expo.

That truck definitely turned some heads last weekend. I've read in a few places on LA 4x4 where they were talking about your great driving skills too. Nice work bud.
