I'll be just fine fuckers...And yes Nick, I think I'll take my chances in the FJ in the snow, I have had so-so luck with the Subaru in the snow, mostly due to my own jack-assery

Well, my first mistake was searching for "Kevin makes a dumbass move"

And it came back with way too many hits to search through

Yes, I'll fix it for you. Again.

Those have some great undercarriage geometry for off-road. The interior is a little too upper-crust. Nice addition to the stable.

Don't worry, I plan on getting my CJ back together soon. If you stick it, I'll come pull you out...

Gotta say Matt.........The only other color that FJ looks good in is all black. Nice addition. You ought to check out some high clearance bumpers from Road Armor. They look pretty nice.

I just glanced at this thread right before I left for work, but somehow I knew those circular lights on the mirrors made it you. It looks 100x better in person. It looks way meaner on the road.

haha. Yeah, I saw you pull out of that driveway and decided to run up on ya. Right before I caught you, I almost ran down some crack-head pedestrian that was crossing the street in the dark and not paying attention. I would have been pissed if I had to scrape brain and guts off the front of my FJ. haha. Pete, your car looks strangly familiar with those wheels

Those wheels have bead lockers on 'em, or just look like they've got bead lockers on 'em?

Looks good.

Is the FJ the seccs approved SUV like the Titan is the seccs approved truck?

As the de facto captain of SUV-bashing around here, I actually approve of SUV types that are actually intended to do things you can't do with a wagon or minivan.

How's the towing capacity compared to the Titan?

Are you still going to be able to pass Scott at 90mph, hauling the STI, while going up hill?

It can't tow shit. It doesn't even have a hitch yet. I have one on order though.

Oh yeah, I doubt I'll be towing the car much. I have access to a new Chevy if needed, but I almost never tow the car. Hence I'm getting rid of the Titan.

I'm in. Do you think anyone will mind if I leave my Jeep up there when it blows up or I roll it off a cliff?

No, I'm still looking for a buyer, if you know anyone let me know. It's listed in the classifieds here and on craiglist , among other spots.
