I like everything about the rig and the photos say much about both you and your FJ. Good show!

Are you giving up on your 40 or just moth balling it?

 

[LCOwner]

This is going to be a good thread. I recomend everyone keep a close eye for some cutting edge stuff.

I almost took a spy pic tonight.
