Lol. Revolvers are obsolete, that is funny.
Tarps are only as effective as the one using abilities are.

But How do you like that FJ ?? I was really thinking about buying a 4 runner or Sequoia but those FJ's seem to remind me of the Old Land cruisers and we know how much $$ they are now.
I told my wife she's going to have to find a cemetery that will bury me in my FJ. I'll never get rid of it. It's as capable as a Jeep Rubicon off-road and rides very smooth and comfortable on the road.
Ever considered making a Tarp Tent from Tyvek? But OP, def check out some Tyvek scraps for your tarp tenting needs. Def cheaper than camp specific tech fabrics. --JB
I really think that those FJ's will start to go up in value in the next 15 years. Glad to hear you have no plans to sell and that you love it .
I bought it new off the lot in 2012 for $36,000. The Kelly blue book website says that now, with 99k miles on it, it's trade in value is $30k. I get letters in the mail all the time from Toyota dealerships wanting me to go trade it in on a new Toyota. It's like my guns - "From my cold dead hands!"
There are two cons to the FJ - poor fuel economy and it has some rather large blind spots. I can't say anything else bad about it. In 99k miles I haven't had to replace anything but fluids, filters, and brakes. It shares most suspension components with the 4Runner and Tacoma so there are plenty of aftermarket upgrades available for it. The engine makes gobs of torque and it is surprisingly quick off the line. The ATRAC and rear locker allow me to get up, over, and through obstacles that I see Jeeps, trucks, and other vehicles get stuck on. In fact, I've pulled and winched my fair share of stuck Jeeps and F-150's in Colorado's back country.
Toyotas and AKs for the win! Indestructible and utterly reliable. Not the prettiest, not the ugliest, works every time. The choice of freedom fighters around the world!
