Dowser Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Hey. Found this while looking for something else entirely different. Happens to me all the time. I'm amazed at how many times when I'm looking for something random, that the forum www.expeditionportal.comcomes up. Although this topic doesn't pertain to that, I just thought it was incredible that almost every time I look something up, Links to that place come up. At any rate, Check this guys ride out. It's only 2 pages, and then he completely falls off the map in 2010. Too bad, I was looking forward to reading more on his project. Pretty neat.

SchizophrenicMC Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I absolutely hate the FJ. My dad's friend owns one and it's terrible in every way you could imagine a commuter vehicle to be. Of course, maybe it wasn't so much intended for that. Anyway, that guy's dedicated. I must say, regardless of what car it is, he's thrown a lot of expertise, ingenuity, and money into making that FJ his. Gives me some ideas for my Pathy xDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Uh, it's quite obviously not catered to daily driving... I don't like them much either but that ia absolutely badass. Dude has skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I love the camera setup. Overkill perhaps but damn that looks nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dowser Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 I loved the approach, depart and tire cams..... Very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I think some of it is cool fab skills for things that I have no need for and then there is a lot of throwing $ at it. Blowing up the diff with 33's surprised me but then he has far more power than a WD21. At the end of the day, I'd like to know the total price tag and then try my own build for 1/2 that...

SchizophrenicMC Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 At the end of the day, I'd like to know the total price tag and then try my own build for 1/2 that... B The hallmark of the Nissan owner: Cheapness Every Nissan guy I've ever known personally has been a cheap bugger, but still pulls 17 kinds of awesome off, with that little money. There are those who do it the "right" way too and of course they do awesome stuff, but I'm just impressed by doing stuff for less money lol Anyway, this build really makes me wanna add stuff to Sammy. Just some amenities, really, but you know. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
