Talking Paco Came Home Today

Finally, after many months of waiting, I brought Paco the FJ home today.

A pic from the front:


Another from the front side:


From the back:


And finally, a close-up of the tire/wheel combo:


I'm very happy how Paco turned out. I need to tip my hat to the following folks:
My dealer, Shane Mitchell at Red McCombs Toyota for great service.
Jason & Jack at Demello (Vendor) for an excellent bumper and great service.
Jason at FJSource (Vendor) for helping me with the Gobi rack. Great price and service.
Terry at All Pro (Vendor). Great rear bumper.
Mike at Discount Tires. Terrific service.
Chris and Robert at 4Wheel Parts. For putting it all together with care and professionalism.
I almost forgot Doug at ToyTec for getting me the rear Donahoe kit for a great price and making sure FedEx got it to me in 1 day!

Re: Paco Came Home Today

That is one nice rig, well thought out and clean. Great work. In all fairness though for Paco, you must post up some dirty pics. Yeah I know it will be hard.......

I had to go for a second look - and i agree, he is sad - he definitely does not want to be that shiny ever again.

Re: Paco Came Home Today

I agree: some great choices (your rig is how I'd do mine - except in Ti - if I had the $$$). Nice ride...now go get Paco dirty!

Re: Paco Came Home Today

I like it! That front hoops look tough. Safety thimble, good choice (I got one too).

Post some more pic's with Paco out on the trail when you get them.

Aha! That explains it. I kept on hearing a sound like "MMMD" "MMMD". I thought it was the engine revving. Now I know. Paco was saying "Mud!" "Mud!". Soon.
