Not sure if anyone saw it or not, but on spike tv they are doing a fj60 project truck. They are starting with the SOA conversion first not sure how far they are going to go with this project, nice to see a Land Cruiser get some airtime. http://www.xtreme4x4tv.com/ You can't view the episode on the site yet, maybe next week.

That was a re-run from february or something.....
They have not done any additional episodes on it on the show AFAIK.

When Ian first posted way back, I recorded that episode. And every episode since, hoping to see part II or III or...
I've recorded some good tech like auto tranny rebuilds, body work, formula toy buggy build, grinder tech, bender stuff, etc. When I saw on the satellite info that it was Project Saggin' Wagon, I thought it'd be part II. :( I ended up just deleting the same episode I had recorded back in February. I hope they give us some more episodes in the near future. :fingers crossed:

Who is Courtney Hanson? Man the new "hostess" is FAWKING smoking.
Am I supposed to know who she is?
Anyway, re-runs of Jesse and Ian are good too. I really like that show.

She's the chick from .........
that show with Chip Fooze (foolz),cant remember the name it made such an impression, the one where they "steal" someones car and "trick it out".
Yea, I saw the show description and put off my trip to the garage thinking they were revisiting the wagon too. Ah well, seems like a dead project like the ford ranger.

Don't worry guys the new episodes are coming soon, and the FJ is a couple of them. It will start with gears lockers axles beadlocks and a "back half"
Then we will be back into it for EFI and roll cage stuff....
Hope that wets your wistle guys...oh and those of you wondering when the SubUrban Gorilla is going to be finished it will be soon.
Oh and the ranger is currently sitting on it's axles with coil carriers and bypasses in the rear, and coil overs in the front, wait until you see the exhaust and the engine cage looks killer!!!!!

At least they stopped covering Ian's face with the big G rating at the beginning of the show. I guess that's a change for the better? :D

You folks should bring your wagon and do a segment on Rubithon in June. It is on the rubicon and lots of fun. You could even bring project AJ and see if it will run. The new shop is sweet. What happens to the projects ?

That's a hell of an idea, John. It'd make for some interesting TV, for sure.
Come on, Ian. Get in touch with Twiddy I'm sure you folks would be more than welcome. He's TRT2 on this board.

Word. Not to mention the fact that there will be the following in attendance :
1) 3 or more new FJ's
2) Many virtual legends in the industry.
3) Some of the guys that run professional comp series.
4) Multitude of Toyota's , highly modified and very stock , to the tube rigs.
5) Chance to wheel a unique event in that it is 1 way hard wheelin. No camp and ride .
6) Not nearly as commercial as Jeep Jamboree.
7) Chance to possibly get the roundeyes crew and maybe Lance himself out on the trail. Nice message Jesse. Your voice is so sexy....
