Only thing I have are stock rear springs/shocks and stock intake but if you need them they are yours.
Thanks. I have those covered. What I still don't know what to do about is the radio (I want my NAV system head unit) and the silver air vent piece from the driver's side dash (which I don't feel like redoing).

So are you going to tear down the FJ to stock before the insurance company does their thing? Sorry to hear about your loss but at least the insurance company is helping you out.

Yep, that's the idea. Back to stock she goes. Then I'll start doing all the mods to my new FJ when I get back from overseas (hopefully this early summer). My insurance company is being great about the whole thing.

So far.

Matt where did this happen at? Hate to see your truck going away. At least insurance is being cool about it.

Re: Killed Bessie (my FJ) and will be building another...

Details coming soon, Bart. Thanks for the offer of your TT, but I believe that one needs to stay in YOUR stable. This bigger truck talk is nonsense! How much room do you NEED?!?!? What are ya, five foot two?!?!?!?

Billy, I'll be doing the WHOLE Bessie II build after I get back from deployment. Perhaps you will have PCSed to Jax by then (Are you even going to Jax?) and we can sip some adult beverages while she gets pieced back together again, like Humpty Dumpty.

Im 5'8 fool!!! Still undecided about the bigger truck. I could use it for some hauling and towing needs starting in the spring. All depends on some other things.

At least you know for the next build what you like and dont like; and what could be done better. And it should go alot quicker.
