=new car


I purchased my Trail Teams FJ Cruiser in March of 2009 from Bart (shfd739).
I got the rig looking like this:

I didn’t do much of anything with the car for several months. I just added mud and some custom pin stripping.:bigthumb:

I then decided to go to the University of Montana, here is where I began to itch for a little more. So I purchased an ARB front bumper w/ fog kit. Followed by a pair of IPF 900xs, Warn 9.5xp and a BudBuilt ARB filler plate.

My next mod was an ARB Full Length Alloy Roof Rack

I added some IPF Reverse Lights

Then two sets of IPF 868 Driving lights

The most recent mod is an Expedition One Rear Bumper w/ Tire Swing-out and Lights

Here how everything has been wired.

I will leave you for now with some action shots.

BTW We're screwed for life as far as off-roading goes.......our bank accounts are in big trouble

Nice rig! Did you play lacrosse at milton? and if so, do you know Ben Jackson (and probably knew his older brother as your screen name seems to reference.)

I knew Parker, I don't really know Ben. I'm actually wearing a T-Shirt w/ Parker D. Jackson #22 right now. My Eagle Project was a Memorial Boulder Garden over at Milton. I wish I could show you this picture I have of the two of us from a billion years ago. :lol: Good times.

Wow, that's cool. Small world, haha. We (mccallie) actually are coming down and playing milton in about 2 weeks i think. Montana seems like a cool place to go to college, a long way from atlanta, that's for sure

It's alot of fun. Just... REALLY far from home. I don't think I will do 4 years here. I miss the south. :cheers: Besides, most of my mods happened out here so I gotta show her off to my friends! :rofl:

I did not. I had I took the picture for photo #17 and he took this one so we decided to only enter one. I didn't mind. I try next time.:cheers:

Thank you. I love how it has turned out thus far. And how clean it still looks. I just need to hide some wires in the engine bay.

[rrjames]

He didn't enter the last contest because I did, we both were in the same hole that day...

I'm enjoying all the comments about my photos being background quality shots :lol:

Glad to see you got a build-up thread going Will. Metal Tech bumper tomorrow!!!

:cheers:

Dude its great to see the truck is still being used as intended. Love the Expedition One rear bumper and swing. If I still had it that was gonna be my choice for a rear bumper.

Nice job with the ARB parts as well. I still recognize some of my stickers.

Keep on wheeling it. Oh yeah if you ever want to sell it, call me. I miss that truck dearly.
