Thanks. Not perfect perfect but I am a sucker for this color. Put a lot of mechanical into it. Trying out the black rims thing. I am not personally a fan but needed to change up the look a bit from original and I discovered the lighter alloys and the taller tires let the trucks run a bit better.
 
I should have this truck in about a week in Tampa. any MUD member even not a prospective buyer feel free to come visit and drive it and pal around. I still don't have a personal FJ and don't hold these for too long so want to take advantage of having this one and the red FJ40 for a bit.
 
Truck is in Tampa. started right up after sitting 3 weeks. only reason I towed it is logistics to get it to my mechanic to do the final review. Not a perfect 10 out of 10 paint job but is really shiny in the sunlight and very clean underneath. Needs a few details like stainless hood tie downs, spare tire etc. cant wait to drive it.
