Hey all,
I've decided to start a build thread. Although my family and friends feign interest in my progress, I think they are tired of hearing about it. (or at least don't match my level of excitement) I keep making bits of progress, and I want to talk about it. Unfortunately, I've found myself with a bad habit of getting halfway through something before I take any pictures. I'll work on it.
My current plan is to just have fun with it and see where it goes. I will most likely stay stock-ish. I'm more a functionalist than a purist. It will be a glorified grocery getter with a easy trail mixed in every once and awhile. I've never had a 4x4 before so I'm not sure what you do with them in Houston beside jump curbs in traffic.
If you're wondering about the name. It sounds better than stupid. I bought the FJ on a whim, during a pandemic, sight unseen. I did ask permission from the wife, and she said it was ok.
Here's my intro post bfbird Intro It's been a while since I checked in. Maybe this thread will keep things more consistent. I have some pics of things done so there'll be some catch up posts to start.
