Hello everyone,
Over the past 5 years this site has been an invaluable source of information, solutions, and general hilarity. Here's my build thread for the benefit of anyone foolish enough to read it
We originally bought our FJ as a project to teach our twin boys about how cars work, and then ultimately for them to drive to high school on a daily basis. We cleaned it up and it served them well for 4 years. Now that they are out of the house it's my turn to satisfy every repressed resto-mod urge I've ever felt by thoroughly tackling this project.
Here's the way it looked when I started:
Not bad, fully functional, but with a hasty re-paint job that is peeling, ornery suspension, stinky cabin and a 2F that desperately needs some TLC. It was the property of a south Texas rancher for the better part of 30 years. That probably explains a good bit of the smell.
