Got some classic wheels, and used meats... Looks much better. A big thanks to all involved.

I like the wheels. You should have gone with white walls though. Now that would have been cool!

 

[Herzog]

Such a cool rig. I like it.

Don't egg him on

Don't egg him on

Greg = instigator of bad ideas.

 

[SAMI]

Doesn't look half bad!

ARGH!!! What is it with the world today?!?! Last week I get an e-mail asking me if I would be interested in buying a '71 LJ10 and now this! And that price is reasonable! I'm so angry by my lack of expendable income and storage space!

 

[SAMI]

Steve, That pig isn't worth $650. I'd say maybe $250

So... I can store it at your place?

 

[SAMI]

I'd use it for parts

 

[Stephen]

You're mean.

A little update for ya...

The need to follow built Jeeps at the Teraflex Jeep Show to make them feel dumb was pumping through my veins.. The FJ55 gave me that look of, "let's do this"... (Of course this was after I flexed her out so much that she couldn't move on her own... 4-5 guys pushing later..)

She earned a battle wound - a badge of heroism and triumph. Thin rusty metal doesn't hold the weight of the vehicle like it used to..

Here's a few months ago snow wheelin' with the Wasatch Cruiser club on the Rattlesnake trail in the 5 Mile Pass area...

Cruisers 'N Guns....

 

[SAMI]

Ah crap.. My fire has been fueled.. I cama across a load of FJ55 pickup photos...

 

[SAMI]

Found this build today.. FJ55 RC style.. Pretty sweet.

FJ55 RC model

 

[cruiseroutfit]

That RC is worth more than the average FJ55

 

[SAMI]

Sad but true.. And think, it won't be susceptible to rust like an original 55 either..

I was doing research for my RC FJ55 and I came across this thread. To my surprise I see my RC staring back at me. Lol, glad you folks like it. And nope, this body won't rust like the real ones. It's made out of polystyrene.

I'll leave the latest picture for you.
