I bought a new truck!

[CandyPants]

After the Roundup last year, I started thinking about a more capable wheeling rig (especially for Texas rocks) and decided I needed a dedicated rig. I started looking a little, with Bossman's help. Then this popped up on Facebook the weekend before I was due to go to Dallas. And low and behold, the truck was in Dallas. It was fate I tell ya.

So here it is:

1976 FJ40
Chevy Fuel Injected 350
TH400 Transmission
Stak 3 Speed
Dana 60 up front with a Detroit Locker Leaf Sprung
Dana 70 Rear Welded - Link Setup
Warn 9500 lb winch
Full Hydro Steering
Beadlocks
44" TSL's
Tuffy Center console
Stereo System
Sliders and bumpers are integrated into fender protecting bars. Full family style cage
40-inch light bar (I can light up the world)
And my favorite feature...a skull diff cover up front

I'll be very quickly adding kids seats in the back for the munchkins and having some repairs done. The stereo isn't working, some lights are not connected at the switch, etc. And, the Stak is leaking but we hope it's just a seal.

So it's going to Baertrax in Dallas this weekend and we'll see what it needs.

Now I just need to find a place to put it when I'm not wheeling.

You need a Trollhole Soft Top for that! (That sun in Texas is brutal). You wouldn't even need the bows! Rear Speaker covers yes, but not bows.

Oh, I've thought about it. I'll have to see how things are going when the time gets nearer. I would love to get back east to see everyone!

Thanks to you both! I can't wait to get out there and wheel it. And as for a soccer mom, uh, not so much.

And really, the speaker covers are the big thing! It actually has an aluminum plate on the top over the driver and passenger, but when the kid seats get installed, I will have to do something, your right.
