With all these recent 'post your pics' threads, I've been seeing a lot of sweet looking FSJs. I'm just wondering, out of all of those, what they started out like. Has yours always been clean and you've just maintained it well for the last 20 years? Did it just need some TLC to get it into DD shape? Did it start out as a total POS?
If you don't have photos, you can just paint a mental before picture. I know with mine, and I'll post pics this weekend, it wasn't junk, but wasn't exactly a trailer queen either. I'm still in the process on it and would like to see some photos of other efforts for inspiration.

Creative use of brown truckbed liner there Mike. Notice how he even went so far as to do the tires, windows and rollbar? It's all in the details!

Interesting that we have only one Grand Wagoneer so far, and it's now a "plow truck".
I gotta get busy on mine!
