It just keeps getting more and more complete! The FJ45 Rock Crawler Project is on and this episode is showing this bad boy getting another bumper, a winch, and some fender love.
If you know old Toyota Land Cruisers then you know that an FJ40 is an iconic off-roader. Like a Jeep CJ, it’s a short wheelbase little utility ride that can be built into anything. The FJ60 on the other hand is the SUV wagon body style more like a Jeep Cherokee or Wagoneer. But there were all kinds of other FJ series vehicles that are much less common, and therefore sought after by Toyota Land Cruiser aficionados. One such ride is the FJ45 which is a pickup truck model. They are very hard to find and are usually in horrible shape if you do find one. So what do you think the Toyota crowd would think of taking a solid FJ45 and cutting it up to make the ultimate rock crawler? Well, you are about to find out.
In this video series by the Fab Rats you are going to see them brandish their normal weapons of choice, meaning a sawzall, plasma cutter, and welder, to build a bobbed, wedged, and badass FJ45. I dig the hell out of this project, but can totally understand why some Landcruiser guys and gals will want to scream. With that said, I think it is going to be a hell of a project that will absolutely do the Toyota name proud.
