(I believe it may have something to do with some forgotten boots).

You forgot the Periwinkle colored rear wheel.... I think theft deterrent is damn funny, but it is Red and White, I like the colors.... You can paint an FJ any color and it is still an FJ. You can also put lipstick on a pig, it might be a bit of a struggle though... Now that I think of it a previous 86' owner was forced to own a newer model of FJ but decided to return to his true colors, let me see if I can find a pic of his new ride...

I found it...

I thought the was scientific evidence that white and silver, for some reason deters theft. The opposite of, If you put something down shiny, it will get stolen.

Besides, it's in Fred's signature line. It's gotta be true. :biggrin:

Monkey, he was obviously not in his right mind.....didn't he just get married?

I rest my case....

I agree that he was not mentally sound.... When he got married that is, but he was clear minded the year before when he chose the proper colors for his two wheel ride... His chosen also rides so I have give credit to that as well. Your case is flawed...

Let's recap the details. Ambulance colors, married, wife that rides her own bike. Derrick is my daddy....

the wheel looks nice Fred, those pics helped me make up my mind on how I want to go forward coating mine. Do you know the brand name, color & color # of the powder coating you used? Also, where did you find that tank bra? nice.

thanks

I misunderstood the thread title.  I thought the powder coating referred to the new layer of snow on my driveway  :lol:

Well, seeing as though my new wife is actually an "ambulance driver" (she says "up in Kanada we call them Paramedics"), it was only natural that I should paint my 91/86 FJ red and white! Now the sound mind is debatable...she is wife #2... :dash2: At least this one rides a motorcycle!

I couldn't find any information about who makes that chain in that ad.  Although they claim a 9850 lb tensile strength.
Is it generic or a major brand?  I'd be real careful if it's a generic.  
It could very well be a Harbor Freight chain.  :-(
