Featured Rig: Fa-Jay-Jay

You've seen her on our cover, you've seen her in Ouray and Moab, you may have even had a chance to wheel with her. Fa-Jay-Jay (FJJ) is her name, and she's one of the most unique FJ's you'll ever see. Bill & Athena Innis, from Idaho Springs, Colorado have spent countless hours and plenty of pennies making FJJ an amazing off road machine.

We'll start with the basics, this '07 Black Cherry FJ sports a 3” OME lift and rolls on 35” Super Swamper SSR tires. In the armor department, FJJ uses very well tested Rasta Aluminum skids as well as Outrider Suspension Armor. Up front is a new LCNW bumper (See page 10 for the full comparison) with a custom winch mount, and they added a Fab Fours bumper to the rear. Other suspension mods include Icon LCA's in the back, and front UCA's from Toytec. To keep things cool & give a better view of the trail, FJJ almost always rolls with the Metal Tech tubes doors installed. For trail side repairs, Bill & Athena carry a full set of power tools that can be run from their PowerTank, or the Viar onboard air system. They threw the spare tire on the roof and added a nice leather saddle bag to the back door to help carry their gear.

For entertainment, Bill & Athena installed a Kenwood DNX-8120 NAV/DVD system that includes a custom set of topo maps covering all of Colorado & the Moab area of Utah. This unit drives three 10” sub woofers in a custom yellow box, as well as additional speakers in near the back seat. Other interior mods include Wet Okle seat covers, a useful storage bag on the passenger side dash, and a large storage bag inside the back door.

The two most unique mods so far on FJJ are really what sets her apart. The Bushwacker fender flares have been customized with steel spikes to help keep the riff raff away from the truck. Our favorite mod was created to help get the dust out of FJJ after a long day with the tube doors on. Bill ran an air line into the glove box, and fitted it with a spray nozzle. A clean dash is now just a few air bursts away. We definitely see something like this going in our TRD in the near future.

If you happen to see Bill, Athena, the kids & Fa-Jay-Jay on the trail, don't be intimated by the spikes, they're mostly for show. Give an FJ Wave & maybe they'll show you how far your FJ can really go!
