With the top down it's probably the only FJC with no blind spots!

It's gonna look real good. I love the Aussie look of white wheels on a Toyota truck.

Not sure what the wheeling is like in your area but the guys around here seem to love the new MTR a lot in mud and rocks.

I'm 100% with you. Would I love to have Shrockworks skids? Of course, but with my truck being a DD and going out only 10 to 12 times a year, I have a hard time justifying $1300, waiting 6 months and an extra 100lbs. I will upgrade to thicker skids when time and money permits if I have a need for...

Here's another one from the same day when I killed my alternator by going in deep muddy water.

Video from last weekend. First time editing a movie and stuff... I had to put music on since the roof rack was so clunky and noisy. I'll re-position my GoPro next time for a better view.

Love it! Thank you for sharing. Did you, at any point, wish you had a snorkel for some of the water crossings?

I've been toying with the idea of getting a Discovery (I or II) or a LR3 as another family vehicle. If I do, I'll call it Wayne. Just in Garth's honor!

Broke it in I see! Ready for Next Sunday?

I hope I can make it out your way and hit some trails next summer. I have family a few hours north of you. I'd love to have a look at your truck in person. Are you going to run wheel spacers with the steelies?

My issue with Shrockworks and BudBuilt is lead time.They make great products but I'm not one who's willing to wait 6 months + to get something I'm paying for now. The ARB skids are great. They were in stock, cost $500 landed and weight about 40 lbs all together. Can't go wrong with that. They...

You certainly did get a great deal on the whole package. I'm already double that into mine and still don't have a rear tire carrier... :(

Great build. Love the rear tire carrier, any more info on it?

Sweet build Don! I want to see this thing on the trails...Soon :)

Yes, they are Prado/FJ "underbody protection" from ARB. They bolted right up with no issues at all.

Got some skid plates to replace the factory paper thin ones. Also went to Montana for a weekend trip and drove the Going To The Sun road. That was amazing. Probably one of the nicer roads I've been on since the road to Hana in Maui. While we were there we did some camping and went to...

Thank you very much sir. I'll keep this going when I receive more stuff.

Very nice! I love the graphics on the truck. It sets it off. How did the truck do at higher elevation?

Thanks Addison. Is Josh building you a custom rack for your LC80? I emailed him about making a few changes on the 4th gen setup he offers. I loved the wheels on your Tundra. Thought I'd give them a shot, not regretting it so far.

Nice garage! Wish I could convince the wife on a 3rd Gen! If there's anything I've learned from both my build and my friend's 3rd gen build is that you should take the time to write up and plan on what you will be doing with the vehicle and buy parts accordingly. I'm on my second wheel and tire...
