fat bastard build thread

Awesome build thread. I'm exhausted for you! Packed-in-mud-broken-bolts are the bane of my existence.

..for a while toyota was offering name badges for vehicles and a notice came out that they were doing it again, so a little bit of bling is now on the rear.

:victory:

fat bastard has survived it's first wheeling!!!! wooohoooo!!!!!! first off was a weeklong expedition to overland expo with a mix of fast smoothish roads, bouncing along rocky stuff, mud, and a bit of rockcrawling, lockers required, then i was home long enough to clean it up before leaving on a three day trip on a very soggy and sticky paradox trail. performed great outside of finding the brake master (which was on my list anyways) was failing fast (thanks to cruiseroutfit kurt for putting one in his carry on bag and bringing it to expo!!) and blowing a front axle seal on a very hard hit on the paradox run when i was trying to haul butt in the dark to catch a guy going up the shelf road.
