So sorry to hear what happened to your rig, Joe. I can only imagine what you must be feeling, and I agree with others that say there aren't words strong enough for the people that did this damage.
Best of luck putting this behind you and moving forward with a new rig build-up. I hope you'll be joining us on the trails again soon!
To Phil: Thanks for putting this in perspective. As tough as it is to lose a project vehicle, it doesn't begin to compare to the loss of a life, especially a friend or loved one. My sincerest condolences.

I am so sorry to hear about what happened to your rig. That is just HORRIBLE!!! I am sitting here thinking how I would feel if it were my CG. I would feel very VERY sorry for the person or persons that did that. I am a sweetheart but when pushed can become a person's WORST NIGHTMARE!
Let me know if you need any backup up there!

Hey, it looks like yoor bumper and winch were in good shape! That sucks, sometimes when people look at my fj and glare i cant help but get worried, I mean after two its like theres a anti fj cult
You always said you tried to get a black FJ the first time, now is your chance
I dunno bout you but those white TT '08's sure are sharp too. Knowing what you know and with people trading in low milage FJ's because of gas prices you might be able to scoop up a low milage former mall crawler on the used lot and give an underpriviallaged suburban FJ the muddy future it deserves with you behind the wheel. Let me know when you teardown the new FJ for dynamatting, I owe you some man hours for your help with my light bar install. Gotta get that sports car put up for the winter before it snows, I don't wanna see the NSX with snow tires on it this winter.

I have been shopping for new/used FJC and everytime I see one I get upset that I had one lost and that it is not the same as the one I had... So I have had to move on, but not far. I allocated a 2008 Toyota 4 Runner that I plan on putting offroad garb on and still having fun with you guys if you will let me!
Phil, I like your ideas! Some one has to photo shop that for me!
