Not sure everyone wants another build thread but I figured I might as well introduce myself and have a place I can post some pictures and ask for help along the way.
I joined October 2010 looking for info on FJ40s. I purchased a 2007 FJ Cruiser figuring that would scratch that boyhood itch of wanting a four wheel drive truck. But since the cruiser would be my daily driver (100 miles / day roundtrip to work) I didn't want to lift it up, put big tires on it and make the gas mileage any worse.
That didn't stop me from enjoying the Cruiser though. Shortly after getting it my son and I loaded up my enduro (DRZ 400) and went to my dad's in Arkansas for a trip. I spent most of the day riding the DRZ and found some great back roads and even a good river crossing. Excited I drove back and got my son and showed him the crossing. When we got there he said that it didn't look like much so I went straight through it with the Cruiser with water splashing up over the hood. I forgot to take the shallow path I scouted previously. But it was all good fun. We spent some time running through mud puddles and crossing the river and that's where I got my avatar photo.
