CATEGORIES OF FJ's: Examples & definitions (pics)

I want to propose the addition of the "basically stock" category...


"Basically Stock"
A basically stock rig is stock in fundamental performance- and capability-related regards. These include stock suspension, stock tires or similar, and stock drivetrain. However, the vehicle is in some ways modified, perhaps including a limited amount of armor (i.e. sliders), addition of communication equipment such as CB, and the possibility of many other survival, recovery, aesthetic, navigation, etc upgrades.

"Basically Stock"

Sounds good, tibaal89. Perfect category right between "Stock" and "Modified." (Can you post up slightly larger/cleaner versions of those pics and I'll plug them into that new category.)

might want to add in the Special Editions like the 07 TRD and the 08Trail Team

Ummm . . . . that kinda gets into specific model differentiation, rather than a configuration category. Not to say that a TRD SE couldn't fall into one of those . . . .

I am confuse-ed. So is pumped, I mean PUMPED the same as basically stock?

I really like the stock ones !!!
Im gonna keep mine stock!!!!

(Its probably really expensive to restore them to their original condition......)

That's a great idea: keep it bone-stock and LandCruiserSteve will buy it off of you in 40 years so he can restore it for big bucks!

OK, I edited to my post with pics similar in size to the ones you have.

Thanks, tibaal. Got it!!

I'll plug in the left photo as an example, but the one on the right with the custom tube bumper, fancy sliders, stripped fender flares and removed rear bumper kinda goes beyond "basically stock."

We probably shouldn't get into the various definitions of "PUMPED" here.
