Ok, so who is going to be the first one to bid....

Yeah, you know I sort of like how some of those FJ's look, but that thing? It looks like gumballs come out of the tailpipe...

ObElite: I couldn't actually have an FJ, though. There's too many of them out there.

At least it's aerodynamic...............!

has anyone done a topless VX yet...not counting the VX02

The "plastic, fantastic" FJ.....only, uglier, with giant, dork wheels, and even less of a reason to exist

The sad thing is, the VX formerly held the title for "plastic fantastic". You would think the next contender would look at least better than the original!
I do agree though with Knigh7s, the fab-tech put into this FJ deserves some respect. It is more like a feeble success than it is a victory... but with that said, it IS a better execution than I could manage, just far below my design ability. I just realized..... it's the Homer FJ!
:homer:

Say what you wiill about the FJ, if it weren't for "wheelin' buddy Jay" & his FJ, I think there might still be some VX's "parked" at the base of the entrance/exit of Cliffhanger. Lockers Rule!

And no, I don't think making it a convertible enhances the appearance.

I think you can do an FJ right and do one wrong......cant help to think of a perverted joke after typing that. This one is just wrong, reminds of something that should be in the movie "Malibu's Most Wanted."

I like Jay's mainly becuase it is blacked out (no white roof). Their aftermarket is good and only getting better, makes me jealous. 4Wheelparts have done a trail rig FJ in their magazine they send out and it looked real good with an ARB bumber.

[CoastieCosta567]

i think the convert... is not a bad idea, but if they made it look more offraod and kinda like a wrangler and old land rover africa safari style mix, painted a dark green, off road tires and rims, lifted, and some nice offroad lights, then yeah, it would look sick, but cuz it looks like a thing, mix with a fat heary @zz, yeah its ugly . but can improve in the right hands.

I wish i can photoshop that crap though.

Thanks! You stole my thunder...lol. That thought no sooner popped into my head followed by the thought to reply only to see you already did....

The entrance/exit of cliffhanger ain't all that bad (definately don't need lockers, although they make it a lot easier)...the "little troop that could" handled it quite well a couple years back! I even remember him getting chears from the toy and jeep guys standing by watchlng!

I remember it well...I don't know if it was that much more eroded this year or what, but there wasn't a line tried that any of the VX's made it up, & yes the tried & true "E-brake shuffle" was in play.
