This is neat.

....and very stock-looking, which is also neat.

 

[SAMI]

is that smaller than an FJ40? or is thata 40?

 

[I Lean]

That's an FJ25, I have no idea if it's smaller than a '40 or not. Kurt?

[SAMI]

looks like the same wheelbase

 

[Paul R]

That thing is awesome!

 

[SAMI]

you gonna buy it Carl? judging by the trees, it's nowhere around here...

 

[I Lean]

Nah, it's a friend of mine's in Connecticut.

 

[cruiseroutfit]

FJ25's are super cool, super rare too. I'm assuming thats FoxFab's...

There was one in Moab this last weekend, 1960 IIRC, guy even wheeled it a bit. To my knowledge there are only 2 or 3 here in Utah, none running/driving at all. Its about the only rig I would want to have over Candaces FJ45

 

[I Lean]

FJ25's are super cool, super rare too. I'm assuming thats FoxFab's...

Yep, that's Mike's.

 

[Tacoma]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the FJ designed, like the Jeep, for the military first, and then adapted to civvy use?? I like that thing a lot. I wonder if they had the same jacked-up bellcrank steering setup as the early Jeeps...

Very nice little buggy there....

 

[cruiseroutfit]

Yep, that's Mike's.

I don't follow the 25 scene too much, but I beleive he is reproducing the soft-tops, using the super-clean soft top from the Montana dude that had his FJ25 in Moab last week. The rarest of the rare. One day

 

[Tacoma]

This is on Ebay right now, listed at $4900 Buy It Now.

Says it's a -40, but did the early -40's have the exact same body as the -25's???

 

[RockMonkey]

It's not the exact same body. Look at the door jam.

 

[Tacoma]

Yeah... I see that... looks kind of cobbled together...

I do not know my FJ's though.

 

[cruiseroutfit]

Where is the link Tacoma?

Looks like a ~63ish FJ40.

 

[cruiseroutfit]

EDIT: thanks for the link Rusted

Not a bad rig... wish it were still in St. George I would really consider it. I've always wanted an early 40. They have the super rare "Land Cruiser" stamped bezel up front. Neat!

Oh, I was dead on... its a 63' FJ40

 

[Tacoma]

Sorry about that, Kurt LOL

So the FJ25's have a different, CJ-5ish door opening, and the round fender. Early FJ40's have the round fender, but the CJ-7ish door. Ok.

Just in case I spot one in a field or something.
