Free offer to airbrush my engine cover…

ChicksDigEmToo had a raffle to paint someone’s engine cover for free and the Hurricane was lucky enough to have the “Karma” bestowed upon it. I dropped off the engine cover today to her. Breaking away from the Hurricane theme for the cover though and going with a fire dept related scene. Stay tuned for her masterpiece!

FJH in NYC

Took the FJ up to NYC on Thursday, Friday, & Saturday. Driving in NYC traffic is definitely more dangerous than taking the truck off road. Air horn mod is a must!

Designing CNC Emblems Continued…

After I received the drawings last night for my CNC’d creations I decided to remove the Toyota emblems as well and replace them with the FJ Hurricane logo so the truck is completely rebranded. FJoel - Ellis Precision was excited to try out his CNC machine on some new items, so here’s the latest drawing.
