History
I Purchased my FJ45 in February of 2015. It was completely stock. From there i have built her up to what she is today.
She is fully engineered and RWC on full registration.
The rego plate is based off my Dads.
The story behind that is that when my Mum got her first mobile phone, my Dad put his number in under the name "Hero"
For my Dads 50th, My mum purchased him the number plates HERO56 for his ute.
The decision was made that for my Ute the Number Plate HEROJR was appropriate.
I grew up living on a farm with multiple FJ45s. When i decided to build a 4WD i couldn't go past the old reliable unbreakable FJ45
As much as this car is a show car, she is not afraid to hit the bush and get down and dirty
