RIP the Blue Burro

So, the insurance company has chosen to total our Blue FJ Cruiser. I spent this last Tuesday in Montrose pulling all the modifications off that I could.

I started at about 7:30 and finished at around 3:00 in the afternoon. 100 of hours of work torn out of the FJ in under 8 hours.  I spend most of the time pulling electrical and electronic mods. I had to leave the suspension and drive train mods in place.

The FJ was totaled due to both the body damage and damage to the engine.  I’ll be writing more later about what transpired to cause the roll and engine damage.

Our blue FJ cruiser was a great vehicle and took us on countless miles of adventures aver the last 4 years. We have many fond memories of places near the middle of nowhere.

Goodbye

Time to start a new adventure with a new FJ, the White Knight.
