My weekend in Puerto Rico-TLC lovers!

[Eshu Elegua]

I have to fly to my hometown in the south of the beautiful island Puerto Rico for a family funeral,i know many people down there,but contact a few friends using facebook.com they told me about a nice person in the town of Cabo Rojo, near st rd 100 and hwy #2 ...Mariano,that he been working and restoring FJ40 for more than 34 years. What an experience for me talk to him about our great hobbie, i'm pretty new on Toyota LC just 1 year ago but my passion for this great legendary 4x4 its growing every day more and more.

If they want to move this topic to other forum its ok,i just want to share a few pictures that i took last saturday,but to make the fack that the FJ40 its a world wide off road machine that follow many people on they memories....
