shut up marc

She did still commit to you for eternity, though. That is a questionable lapse in judgment on her part. Maybe she knew you'd grow that massive fur face and that's all she was after?

 

[SAMI]

Ha!

My wife loathes the idea.. She thinks my dream FJ55 Ute is hideous.

I don't know man, I'm kinda with her. Maybe it's just your Photoshop skills, but that thing looks kinda bleh. Maybe with a different bed it would look better.

 

[SAMI]

Of course the bed won't look exactly like that.. The bed i'll be building will look very similar to the Mitsubishi one in Greg's thread with the Zuk ute style... Removable sides down to a flat tray.. built in sliding out drawer for tools/parts..

My 55 won't be cream colored either.. I'm thinking two tone paint black/grey w/ dark tint.. black canvas over the bed when covered.. Most likely 33"s to start out with, with 35"s down the road.. Massive bumper..

I'm hoping that everyone who sees it does a double take and thinks to themselves, or says outloud, "WTF was that?".. haha

 

[mbryson]

.... "WTF was that?".. haha

Don't they already do that?

 

[SAMI]

ya, i guess so.. But I want their first reaction to be locking the doors of their car/house.. I'm going for a manacing looking rig.. Not Madmax style though..

 

[SAMI]

I daydream about this pretty much all day long.. If I actually had photoshop skill sat all, i'd attempt to put together what I see in my head..

I daydream about this pretty much all day long..

All this Land Cruiser dreaming has a serious effect on your libido. [/mallrats]

 

[Rot Box]

I daydream about this pretty much all day long.

Yes, enough daydreaming the rest of us are getting bored

Although they are pretty aggressive these http://www.offroaders.com/reviewbox/showproduct.php?product=703 in a 35x10.50 would be appropriate :greg:

 

[SAMI]

Don't care for any opinions that go against mine.

I like but I'll raise you one

 

[Tacoma]

Your wife is a lot smarter than you, that chop is awful. Not menacing at all.



EDIT: the one Kurt posted is freakin' sweet though. And kind of burly.

 

[LT.]

I like both of them. I have never before seen an old school cruiser like those. I hope your build is coming along.

LT.

 

[SAMI]

^haha, nope. The cruiser hasn't moved in awhile

 

[cruiseroutfit]

Still my favorite, "Big Bear"



Jason, find us a clean (like legitly no rust) builder.

 

[Corban_White]

I like but I'll raise you one

Nice............But what's the point of a four door wagon if you get rid of the rear doors and rear seats?
