I was going to start this off as "FJ owners" but might as well open it up. I see the FJ Cruiser in a completely different marketing segment as the current Land Cruiser, but hey why not.
I have a 1972 FJ40. Canary yellow, bikini topped, trimmed & welded doors (not my doing). Up on 33s, but still the stock 258ci I6, 3spd twin-stick 4x4. Some previous owner tried to make it look like a j**p/sand-runner - all mods were strictly fashion, not form. I've been undoing that.
Unfortunately, I don't have any current photos, but here are a couple from the late 90s ...
Those tires/rims are gone and there's a handful of other minor cosmetic changes - the big changes have gone into functional stuff. And it is for sale ... but since Toyota started threatening us with their new FJ Cruiser, I've been reconsidering, because I think it would be pretty freaking sweet to fill my driveway with a '72 and an '06 Cruiser ...
So, what's everybody else got?
