countersurveillance picts

Sorry for spelling (Surveillance)

LOL, not really (we didn't try to hard to be sneaky as you will see).

Yesterday after going to the park, I saw this really stealthy looking Semi, and the writing on it was right up my alley, since I am a former LE deputy

The Target in question



The spotter and security team (lord help me)



Maybe it was sold at an auction (writing appearing to be scratched off :thinking: (or are there green martians or a tac team ready to breach and clear the church property the semi is on :shrug:



Security (sleeping on the job



Oh, now I am awake dad :hammer:



You can see the spotter in the rear making sure no one from the church or nearby surroundings is approaching, or a possible ambush...

and as far as the Security officer goes :shrug: I don't have a clue, maybe a cookie crumb is came off my pants on exit of the jeep :thinking:



The main cabin



Much more allertness now, it's about :censored: time :headbang:



My guess again is that it was bought/auction, or used for a training exercise.

There were locks on it, and I :thinking: about making entry

Thanks for looking

That Rubi looks exactly like my 03! I bought an 05 exactly like it, but a hardtop next.. It took us all over the country.. Ron

That's the kind of security I would not argue with.

Yup, it's an 04 with only 22,000 miles on it. I will sell it at the end of the year, and buy my FJ.

I even doubt that I will have 30,000 miles on it, lol I am retired

Re: countersurveillance picts

My 03 was stolen in 05 with 22K, so I bought the 05 and traded it for the FJ in January. It was showing signs of wearing out at 24k. Ron

Neat photos!

The large "FBI" and stripes painted on the side make me think it might have been a movie prop. But, you were there so may have seen more such as other vehicles, where it was parked and so on. What do you think?

That is a good thought, however I think it might be the real deal.

I know at least in LE, they auction and strip out the cars and sell them.

But from what I could see, it looked legit. I have been around FBI (they came to our dept, and helped in some local issues (with a pretty big sized rig, but not that big), but they have them.

I am actually going there tommorow and going to ask

I mean, yes either way (movie or real) they would have had to take off FBI

But I am just too curious to not find out.

I will post tommorow in regards to what I dig up (LOL, that doesn't sound good).

Ron, did you do off roading with it at all? ( I know stupid question), but I honestly haven't and won't (have never been into it much).

But when I get the FJ, I may give it a try (with some mods).

Thanks.

Jack

As of now, no probs seen. knock on wood.
