I am ecouraging the rest to elope to save money for NECESSARY mods. Necessary is defined as anything that I think I need for the FJ.

#3 daughter's boyfriend (at my house now) will be on Showtime (signed the contract last week) doing ultimate fighting. We spar in the ring but he's a lot younger than I am and I can only win through complete treachery. He's also heavy into off-roading. I said, "what about a desert wedding? We all drive out to some summit and you can get married where the coyotes howl and the wind whistles through the rocks. I'll pack beer in an ice chest and we can BBQ some steaks and do some dutch oven cooking for the wedding party."

He said, "Hey, I'm down for that!"

#3 daughter gave me an angry look.

She whispered to me that IF they get married, that's not what she has in mind.

Women! Go figure??!

Larry, Tell the remaining 3 what I tell my 2, your wedding/inheritance money is sitting on the driveway. I as your father felt it prudent to enjoy myself and my $$$ before you put me in the poor house. Seriously, Larry what a great group of young ladies you and I have for daughters, couldn't ask for anything more...

Lol Tom, I like that. I'll have to start programming mine while she's young.

Very awsome build Uphill. I'm envious...

I thought it's more along the line of "Youth and talent are no match for experience and money.

That's only when building an FJ is brought into the picture. When it comes to the octagon, the other takes over!

Had a quite an experience in Irvine today.

I saw an FJ parked that was... well, breathtaking. Tough in every proportion. Big shoes and big presence.




One thing you can tell; whoever the owner is, I sure wouldn't date one of his daughters.






Without a doubt - the meanest-looking FJ of 'em all. And it let me take pictures of it without kicking my ass.

I'm thinking of painting it A2A Blue. I hear that there's an overstock on the color and that Jason is arranging a discounted group buy.

Actually I'm greatful that you didn't post pictures of me getting my hair cut. Maybe I'll stick with the Titanium color.

Thanks for posting the "I spotted you pictures!"

Ok Todd, break out the pics of Larry getting a hair cut, I want to see him with that little bib

Every time I tried to get a picture of Larry I would get this weird error code:
2FuGly

I have been known to break cameras -- but not because of the 2FuGly error code.
