That thing is sweet, you just going to drive it and leave it alone for the most part?

 

[SAMI]

This one will stay as original as possible... One day it will get an all new OME suspension via Cruiser Outfitters..

The other '74 FJ55 that I have has some more ambitious plans in the works

 

[lewis]

Nice!

 

[Stephen]

Look how you tried to go all artsy. Lame.
I hate you.

 

[scoutabout]

Is that the former Passey mobile or a Clementine look-a-like?

The other '74 FJ55 that I have has some more ambitious plans in the works

Other? Dude, where have I been?

 

[SAMI]

It is indeed 'Clementine' of Passey past.. It was a two-fer deal.. 2 '74 55's.

 

[SAMI]

Here's the almost twin...

Here's an idea of what I want to do with it:

original:

My idea: FJ55 pickup with Aussie style trayback. Most likely build on a newer truck frame (Taco, Tundra, FZJ80..)

 

[LT.]

This is a really cool looking thread! I learned how to drive in a Land Cruiser not too un-like yours. I am looking forward to the build.

LT.

 

[redXJ]

I learned how to drive a clutch in a 60 series. nice pics. looking forward see more on the fj55

 

[hedonist]

sweet! my dream truck. I'm jealous!

 

[SAMI]

With as big as the 55 is, it was deffinately a little piggy today..

 

[Brian P]

GOOooood lookin!
We still miss her, But we know she is in a happy place

 

[hydro joe]

I love the wagon when there cut up a bit

 

[SAMI]

oh yeeeah. I'm likin photoshop

 

[Rot Box]

I want a pig so bad! :chris:

Few vehicles have that much character. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

 

[SAMI]

My wife loathes the idea.. She thinks my dream FJ55 Ute is hideous.

 

[Rot Box]

Trade me for my Hilux then she will beg you to get the 55 back

My wife loathes the idea.. She thinks my dream FJ55 Ute is hideous.

I knew there was something smart/wise about her.
