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.
If the “purists” are upset by the thought someone is cutting up the bed of a truck that no one even wanted until 5 years ago, then their heads will explode when they see pictures of Toyota dealerships and holding yards in Australia scrapping the beds by the hundreds.
While I completely understand the reverence people have for the 40 series, I find it amusing when people think they have to be preserved and treated the same way you would an original Ferrari 250 GTO, Shelby Cobra 427 or Hemi Daytona.
They were never rare or desirable, they were always simply a tool to get stuff done.
Wow, that\’s amazing. You are such a talented person. I don\’t think so it is easy for any other person to make a truck like that. Thanks for sharing this video with us. Can you help me in searching for a site online in which I can find fast withdrawal casino UK games? I want to earn money while sitting at home, I lost my job.
