Really nice looking rig.

You have a four speed shift knob?
I like the front axle position. Its a couple inches forward of stock.
I've been a big fan of the jumpseats ever since I saw Crushers do his first set.

Good looking rig , Roland.

Did you build the bumpers yourself?

I certainly mean no disrespect, but goodness WHY would anyone buy an FJ when BJ/HZJ's are available to you??? Diesel's forever.....

Mmm I thought in Chile aren't much Diesel Cruiser availables .. in fact they no have any 60 or 80 diesel .. or at least not much.

David, thats right... here in Chile de 95% off the 4x4 vehicules are petrol engine.... and only truks are diesel.

From a Toyota Dyna truck comes the 3B engine of my TLC.

Recently in the present 2 year, came 4x4 with diesel engines..... and area very high $$$$$ for make a rig to do only 4x4 the weekends.

With my TLC I´m very happy
