Good onya Woody.

Love those rock sliders and under body guards. Are those GX470 specific or are they from the FJ?

How about a few pics of the inside of your rig as well?

hi there, welcome to the site.

i sometimes visit your side of the world for ideas and the like (via the net)

just had a look at your build up, looks very nice, and i see that not many people over there are game enough to mod the GX as you have.

nice work, post up some more pics when you can.

cheers.

ps. wish we had the V8 option over here.

very lucky to have the v8. those budbuilt skids look interesting- any idea if they ship overseas? i know that a lot of US 4wd stores dont anymore. How much ground clearance did you lose at the transfer case?

I have a complete set skids from BudBuilt and it's from the Toyota 4Runner as we all share the same 120 frame. Fj Cruiser is only 5 inches shorter than us.

Thanks you guys. www.budbuilt.com Email Bud and ask if he ships overseas. He might, considering he uses FedEx or UPS services. I don't know how much clearance I lost. I like them very much. I swap my air bags with a complete OME suspension Front 886coils/ N140s shocks, Rear 897 coils/ N142 shocks. Around 3 inch lift.
