Any other Toyo FJ55's out there?

ForYota · Dec 24, 2014

I was wondering of any one else has a FJ55 they are working on. I just bought mine and am curious how many are out there on this site.

I love the Ford/Yota merging.. Do you have a built thread you can link to?

fordcontraption01 · Dec 24, 2014

No I bought the body a few years ago and built in my driveway with a skidsteer lol

Wrong forum. LOL! Go get on IH8MUD.

I personally am on my ninth FJ80. I'm not nice to them.

Y do you suggest IH8mud or whatever vs Hardline? Just curious, I have never been on that forum.

It's a land cruiser forum

Gotcha. He just got this FJ and I directed him to this site figuring he would get some good info out of it. His FJ is far from a mildly built rig. 60/14 5.0 c4, atlas, cut up, blah blah blah.

Because he would be the only person on here with a pig (FJ55)
And the only person with a pig NOT on mud if he isn't already....

May also like the preservation society:

That site isn't our cup of tea. Here is what he is working with.

LandSpeeder · Dec 28, 2014

Skinny Pig!
LOL.
But if you asked the question "Who on here has an FJ55"... I'm assuming you meant a nice unit, and not just a hood. It appears you have tons and a mustang drive train.

I've built hard core FJ80's bobbed/doved/chopped but left them all toyota:

That's what mine is all cut up. It's big and ugly and not my favorite rig ever but I really don't have anything in the body and chassis it's kinda changed since I got it but not much. I personally don't like it so I'm getting ready to pretty much make a firewall buggy out of it to get me through for a while.

LandSpeeder · Dec 29, 2014

Yeah, I had removed the entire body to start tubing it. Then had to move. So I never got to that phase. I parted it out.... what was left of it...

it was in it and running with cold a/c when I got it but I took it out and sold it and the rest of the toy parts and it paid for it so basically I got nothing in the chassis. I put an injected cobra 302 in it with a t18 203/205 and the rocks and made it my own.
