    CROTCHROCKET--- Well done. Looks nice. I'm glad everything finally worked out for you in the end.

    I really like your concept of how to wash your concept. The guy gets it dirty, and the girl has to clean it. Interesting theory, but might not always work here in the USA. Ever since we gave USA women the right to smoke and vote, we kinda' lost our persuasive edge.

    Peanut Butter-Kid (PBKID)--- Yes, those are cool looking attachment bars for the off-road lights, especially since they were a factory OEM opton for the JDM version. Too bad they weren't available on the USA model. Here in the USA, I guess we just have to settle for ToneMonday's front Safari Bar bumper if we want some sort of off-road light attachment point.
