Thanks for the compliments but you haven't seen Cruiserlarry's yet. You'll only find a true build thread on it in a Toyota Magazine somewhere.

Well, it seems the May, 2008 issue of Landcruiser Magazine from Japan has a 10-page spread on my FJC - now if I could only read the article :lol:

Sorry for the grainy picture but I just added to more PIAA's to my front bumper. The outer two are fogs and the middle two are driving pattern. Do you all think I need to add another light or two to the light bar on the roof to balance out the look? I'll get better pics in a different environment when I decide whether or not to add more lights to the light bar.

I already know Larry's answer... :D
