My oldest daughter Sandra has to write a "creation story" for one of her classes. She came and asked me a bunch of questions about the cruiser the other day and this is what she came up with... I helped as the technical advisor/editor. Enjoy!

Creation Story
Rough Draft
In the beginning, there were rocks.
Chris brought the FJ40 land cruiser to the smaller of the rocks and the rocks trembled in its sight. The hood was painted orange with Pirate 4x4 stickers adhered to it. The custom roll cage that he himself had built was painted a hammered silver and shined brightly in the sun. He drove the landcruiser into the rocks and conquerd them. He surveyed his work and saw that it was good. There was morning and night, and the first day passed.
On the second day he drove the landcruiser up to a group of larger rocks and they trembled in its sight. He then gave to the FJ40 a 2” body lift and upgraded the tires to 36” swampers. They had deep tread that extended down the sidewall of the tire and could eat rocks and spit them out as they past. He drove the landcruiser into the rocks and conquered them. He surveyed his work and saw it was good. There was morning and night, and the second day passed.
On the third day he drove the landcruiser up to a group of rocks that were even larger than the second and they trembled in it sight. For this, Chris decided that the fuel tank should hold enough gas to get him to, around, and from, wherever he may travel. He spent the day building and installing a new customized aluminum fuel tank. When he filled it and saw it to hold enough fuel he smiled because he knew his work had turned out to be very good. He drove the landcruiser into the rocks and conquered them. There was morning and night, and the third day had passed.
On the fourth day he drove the landcruiser up to a group of rocks even larger than the third and they trembled in its sight. He knew these rocks would fight back so he added hydro-boost to his power steering. He found it to work very well and saw it was good.
He drove the landcruiser into the rocks and conquered them. There was morning and night, and the fourth day had passed
On the fith day he drove the landcruiser up to a VERY large group of rocks and they trembled in its sight. He then decided that front and rear lockers in his axels wouldn’t hurt to have so on this day he put them in. He tried them out and found them to be good. He drove the landcruiser into the rocks and conquered them. There was morning and night, and the fifth day passed.
On the sixth day he drove the landcruiser to the largest of the rocks on the earth and they trembled in its sight. On this day he added a 4-link rear suspension and gave it ultra-low gears. He surveyed his work and found it to be very good. He drove the landcruiser into the rocks and conquered them. There was morning and night, and the sixth day passed.
On the seventh day he packed up an ice chest with food and drink and took the FJ40 wheeling to see the entire earth that lay before him. Neither rocks nor mountains could defeat the landcruiser that Chris had built. He tested out everything he added and conquered even the most remote parts of the earth. He was immensely satisfied with all that he had done. He drove to the top of the highest of all the mountains and made camp to rest. As the stars appeared in the sky and the sun sank quietly on the horizon Chris was at peace. This was the end of the seventh day.
There was morning and night, and the seventh day passed, and everything was good.
