My wife thought that your fridge was an ATM.

Now that's funny. I've never heard that one before. Tell her it is an ATM and that the bank charges a service charge.:sombrero:

Where are you taking that thing? The moon? I'm sure the shuttle has less gadgets and a lower budget!

i get people saying that my snorkel is all sort of wierd things, but the wierdest to me was a lady thought it was an airconditioner. its funny though i get a ton of older like 75 and up ladies that say that my snorkel is neat. now how the hell do they know what it is and these younger people dont haha

Nice build-up. Did the fender bulge issue ever get resolved on the FJC's?

I lead quite a few runs. I tell people that if I take them in I will get them out. I like to be prepared. It also gives my wife piece of mind when our son ( 5yrs old) is with me. She can usually tell where we're at 24/7.

Not really. Mine are pretty busted up. I've seen worse but they're still bunged up. I also know guys who haven't had the issue. 95% of the time the bulges start due to a hard hit on a whoop. Once it starts all bets are off because you've weakened that area. I know the exact time I started by fender buldge. At times I can still feel it in my teeth.

Ya... I know what you mean. I had an '07 FJC that had one bulged inner fender... buckled the inner fender when I hit a pothole. A lousy pothole should not buckle the sheet metal. When Toyota told me that I "abused" the truck and that they weren't going to address the issue, I took the easy way out and sold the truck. It's really a shame that Toyota isn't owning up to the existing issue. I miss my FJC... but the 100 series isn't all that bad either.

Again, sweet build... very well equipped and laid out. :wavey:

 

[redthies]

I would agree that you are very well set up. Not much you could not deal with!

My goodness, thats a lot of stuff you have inside that truck. Just out of curiosity, what exactly is going to hit the fan in San Diego? Do you know something we dont? :Wow1:

The "Huskers" sticker is on the amplifier on the rear cage and my son wears the "Huskers" hat on every trip. He even wears it to school on the playground.

I don't know but whatever it is, I'l be prepared.:smiley_drive:

I've got a bit into it. I have a bunch of guys at work that drive Corvettes. They are always talking about their cars and how much they paid for them. I just laugh. It might get them 0 to 60 faster but when the fit hits the shan I'll be prepared.:smiley_drive::sombrero:

Ha! I traded in my Corvette on my FJC. I'll tell you, it's a lot cheaper to mod a FJC than it is a Corvette.
