I'm a latecomer here, but I wanted to introduce you to my ride. I hope to get into the expedition type of traveling, but wanted to gain some experience.

I helped start the FJ Bruisers www.fjbruisers.org an FJ Cruiser club in the Washington D.C. area. Feel free to visit us online or drop in for a trail run. We have several 4-Runners including one of the sickest 4th gen. I have ever seen.

I normally don't care for FJC's but yours is pretty sweet! I'd rock it! I love your winch controls. Really trick and clean.

Very nice rig! :26_7_2:

Thanks, You guy's are doing the type of wheeling I hope to do.

BTW....That guy Croz 3, posts up, is the one who fabbed the rear bumper dual swing out. He's really good at this stuff. Check out the custom bumper he made for his 4-R.

Nice truck! Love the dual winch setup. How's the rubbing on those 35's?

I don't have any rubbing because I shaved the body mounts right behind the front wheels. That fixed all the rubbing.

Nice! Do you have any pictures of your dual battery setup?

MORE PICTURES! :sombrero:

This so the current location, the battery mount is breaking, so I ordered a Parana battery mount for a Prado 120 in Australia. It is the same vehicle as the FJ Cruiser and Lexus GX 470. It fits all the OEM bolt holes, but I need to find washer fluid tank I can relocate to the fender.

Old Battery location......

New Battery location on a 120 Prado.

Welcome; very nice FJC you've got there!

 

[FlyNdrive]

Thanks, Jim. How is the wheeling down in King George VA. I am up in MD a little out of Baltimore.

The wheeling around KG is nonexistent; we wind up at GWNF, or West Virginia, or the Outer Banks for our exploration fun. The fishing is good on the river though!
