Talking FJ213's 'White Pearl' Build....

i got exposted to the off-roading scene thru a good friend of mine who lives in West Palm...he has the infamous Vehicross and left me drive it in the keys back in october of 07...i was hooked...
came back to PA and started doing some research..looking really close at the fj...
went to a local dealer, did a test drive and liked what i saw...the only issue i had was a color decision....i was looking for something in white but all the websites and brochures showed everything but white...then the dealer looked at his manifest and said 'i have a white one coming in march'....i said 'what'??
i thought it quite funny that the dealer admitted that he had no idea there were white ones available...

so, the story begins....in search of a TTSE at the best price....i finally settled on a dealer in Dover, DE...he was a friend of a friend and gave me a great deal... that was April 08....

here she is....



then on to recovery gear, getting ready for Mudfling:
Hi Lift Jack, axe, shovel, Cobra LTD 25 w/Lil Will, recovery straps, etc
i got some clamps from ebay and made my own brackets for the Hi Lift







after going to Mudfling, i got lots of new ideas for mods.....saw JPness's MPac side rack and likes Joshs brush guard, some one had some rear taillight guards....







one of my next mods was roof top lights...i opted for the all-pro 4hole light bar with air dam..and PIAAs 540s



then i decided to give the truck a name - 'the white pearl' - hence the kanji



superwinch hitch receiver shackle bracket



custom FJ badge (Fjoel)



ARB safari snorkel



ARB front bumper w/Warn 8000



hope to have more pics up the end of next week with new wheels/tires and adjusted lift..

Great looking rig. Can you show us a pic of the backside of the air dam so we can see how the lights are mounted? And welcome to the forum.
