I thought that fj was awesome before it was "pimped", but after the pimping not so much. Its alot less functional now

The real show for your car to be "pimped"

My problem with pimp my ride is they just do stupid crap to cars, just stupid stuff. I can see in general making it look better a better system, but who the hell needs tv's everywhere and fish tanks and psp's. I have only seen like 2 of them where they did anything to the engine (a crx and an impala i think).

A good car pimping would be. motor (be it build up the one it has, or drop in a new better one), suspension, wheels (but not the huge ones like soome nice 17's with performance treads on them), make it look good (nothing crazy), nice interior and sound system.

That truck has a stigma in the Cruiser community, was even railed on here. I can't imagine any landcruiser afficionado paying for that vehicle. You would have to spend more to get rid of that pimp stuff than it would be worth.

Everything done to the truck was cosmetic, I don't even think the snorkel is hooked up.

Aside from the fact it is a 72, probably has drum brakes all the way round and the wimpy 3 speed,

It was a poor sample of an FJ to "Pimp" and an even worse outcome.
