My budding love affair

[diggity]

I picked up a used '07 last year & life hasn't been the same since. If I ever have a kid and come close to being as smitten with it as this truck, I'll be a lucky guy.

Here's my intro...

The FJ should have come with a warning....

Here's my first sight story...

Nice looking rig.

I hate to tell you but the love affair with it will never end.

[diggity]

Thanks. I pretty much know it won't end.
Looks like you have a similar love affair there. Which bumper is that? That's another thing on my to-do list.

Nice looking rig...definately like the paint job on the roof

[diggity]

Actually next is a TRD exhaust. Then a 3" lift & new tires.
I'm sure a real bumper way down the line.

I don't want to black it all out, I want to keep a black, silver accent sort of thing...so I might do silver/steel rock rails or nerf bars. Don't want it too "bling" either, it's a deliciate balance.

I've very pleased with how the roof came out, thanks.
I found that my board rack is a little too far back, so the first time I was taking boards off my truck, a gust of wind blew & the boards hit into the truck and scratched the paint a little.
Always gonna be a little learning curve I guess...
But thankfullly I went cheap on the paint job.
I had estimates from $350-$1500 & I'm glad I went cheap.
Plus, its only a damn roof. As long as the paints matched which is a piece of cake for places with the color codes now, whatever.
