[AZ Road Runner]

Here's the link to the site, haven't read it through yet. Hope this hasn't been covered before, flame me to death if it has, I don't care...

This vehicle was featured on the Toyota web-site about 4 years ago as a concept car. The plan was to include the V8 Tundra engine in a re-creation of the original FJ.

THIS is what got me real interested in the whole idea of a "new FJ"!

Somehow, the plan changed along the way to become the FJ Cruiser. I'm damn glad it did. The other idea would have been priced at $60K+.

I'm sure somebody else can shine brighter light on this whole story....

Wow...would never have bought that. Not even if it came in yellow...and that interior....ugg...

Saw an article about that rig several years ago. It's awesome in my eye! Built by Steve Millen, I believe. (haven't read the link...just going off memory) I think it's absolutely gorgeous. I had contemplated grafting an FJ-45 longbed pickup body onto a Tacoma chassis...similar idea. Luckily, the FJ Cruiser came out before I got tied up in a huge project like that!

Rod Millen. Ooops. Memory's not so good, then.

Can you sleep in it?

I bet good money you'll be seeing some versions of it when the FJC gets turned into a real four door mommy ute.
