Well that's about everthing. I'll add more to the veh. when money comes
my way. I have plans on going to Moab, Ut. this year to try their trails.
I really enjoy the FSJ, this is my second in the last 10 year,.
I have good access to part veh. in the local salvage, most of the time
I will buy used before buying new. I've included some pics. of my veh. a
four wheeling area about 5 min. from my home. I enjoy your net page, keep
up the good work.
