Drive a LEGEND or follow one.

As you will see I had a LOT of work transforming the old rusty FJ into Bushwacker. While I say it is done, there is always something that I want to change. Over the winter of 2006-7, I will add some Ols Man Emu springs, a better stereo & maybe a newer steering box. None are necessary.

Just bought it in Dec.2004 Jan., 2005 as is to be certified at Byrd's Garage in Wooler. ... cursor sidewya as there are 3 pictures across.
