Hello everyone
Just signed the papers!
New addition to the family and a drastic change from an '87 runner(still got it). Off'd our Ford Explorer for this
To those who care:
Magnetic grey Limited
full-time 4x4, center diff., downhill assist(DAC), Hill start Assist Control(HAC)
XREAS suspension
Black Leather, Heated front seats
Sunroof, Dual Zone Climate
Nav./JBL system with a Party button
Remote Engine Start, Smart Keys
Carpet/cargo Mats
Roofrack crossbars
Third row seating
Wish the limited came with a rear locker but that can always be added later when i get over my sticker shock.
This is my wifes rig. It will see LOTS of snowy/icy roads where we live and plenty of car camping in Death Valley and all over the Sierras where a serious 4x4 is not required (read: Rubicon/Johnson Valley/etc..). We have my Toyotas for that
Cant wait to play with this thing and get some basic rock/deer/brush/tourist protection around it.
We'll see where else we mod after it gets set up for exploring. Gotta get a slide for my ARB fridge and a decent roofrack
I'll let you know ASAP when things get going.
Feel free to add any comments or mods. info., ask any Q's- you cant hurt my skin
I will try to keep this post updated as I go with any info. and mods we come along.
Look forward to discovering the plus/minus of a 5th gen. with you all.
I will post up 3rd row access shots too.

ARB is soon to release their suspension for the 5th gens. Although claimed to be built around the FJ chassis, they're still working out some kinks. Last rumor I heard is that they are nearing the end of R&D in Australia.
