UPDATE OCT 29th, 2020 It has been three months and 2500 miles (updated on Oct 29, 2020) since I received my FJ43 from Terra Cruisers (FJ-43 Build) and I have been spending a lot of time going through, learning and checking everything during my quarantine downtime. I created another thread (Lessons Learned Thread) after this one that is meant to report on how things are going, solutions to things I faced so far, and hopefully as a warning to anyone considering using Terra Cruisers. As things come up, I will add them to the list.

Started a restoration with TerraCruisers 11 months ago. Here are the before shots.
