My 2007 FJ Cruiser. It was originally built by Andy Cohen of Adventure Vehicle Outfitters/ Finishline West for the 2010 SEMA show.

Some things they did:
Safari Snorkel
6" Rough Country lift
Modified ASFIR 4x4 front bumper, with Warn 9.5 Ti winch
ASFIR 4x4 aluminum skids
ASFIR 4x4 slider/steps
WEt Okole seat covers

A few more pics from before I owned it:

The day I brought it home:

With Spidertrax, and 35.12.50x17 ProComp ATs

1st offroad trip, Brown Mountain OHV in Western NC

In December 2015 I was rear-ended. Minor damage to me, significant damage to the 2015 4R that hit me.

Rather than replace the factory bumper, I went with a custom swingout from Budbuilt. Also replaced the black plastic trim with diamond plate from Warrior Products.

Just before Appalachian Toyota Round-up 2017 I swapped out the Rough Country 6" lift for OME Heavy. I swapped the 35s for 285/75/17s. Swapped the ASFIR 4x4 skids for Budbuilt skids and sliders. Swapped the factory roof rack with the BajaRack Utility rack.

On Veteran's Day, 2017, I grenaded the rear diff at Uwharrie OHV. I had it replaced with a factory 3rd member for a short time, then a rebuilt one from East Coast Gear Supply.

Built a crappy storage box somewhere along the way. I want to redo it now that I have an idea of what I actually want.

This is pretty much how it sits today.

I think this is the first time I've seen some of the pics from before you bought it. Makes me want to start a build thread, but I don't have enough to write about yet.

Really nice vehicle, looking forward to more pics.

That pumpkin on the snorkel is both terrifying and amazing.

Very cool. I've got the same antenna and it's been great. Where did you mount yours?

Best pic I have on hand. It's been a big improvement over my Baofeng handheld, for sure
