I always suspected the Daihatsu Rocky was actually a Toyota body, but with IFS chassis. The engines look different too, but it's rare I ever see a Rocky in the shop, and have only once had a 70 series in, and I believe that was an L6 platform. I also thought Daihatsu was Korean originally.
Congrats Sarah! Absolutely well-deserved; you've got an extraordinary backstory that made for a compelling read. As a rescue dog owner myself, I love Zero's story as well. Really cool.
Listening to the radio yesterday... They declared it ‘Thunderbirds day’ and were talking to Gerry Anderson’s son... reminded me of the Thunderbird 2 Dinky toy I had as a kid and how I (like he) thought it was the best one. I guess my Land Cruiser and now my FJ are ‘styled’ and kitted akin to that....Maybe I should have bought an Army Green...
I've been thinking I need three. 1 to keep stock and pristine, 1 to lightly modify and use as the daily, 1 to highly modify with fun stuff like a 350 and a full cage and dual steering and roll down back door windows

Time to get a second FJ, like many members here who have two in their garage /forums/images/FJCruiser2/smilies/tango_face_grin.png/forums/images/FJCruiser2/smilies/tango_face_smile.png

Just read this article, and then had to read the build thread as well. Great stories, both. I think I have to do the under hood lights mod. Sigh. That's the problem with reading these great stories - I see things I should be doing instead of drinking coffee and reading blogs. Laura, Eddy, and Zero are all inspirational.
I know this is NOTHING like what you were talking about, @ZerosFJ, but I found it awful ironic. While going through the guide to see what was on TV last night I came across this:
Again, hardly close to the nostalgia to which you were referring, but the Thunderbirds name nonetheless. :cheers:
