Finally Got Pics Of My Fj55 Off Road!

After a decade of downtime this pig is back in the dirt under it's own power.. The power steering is sick...Having two heaters are awseome! The only complaints I have are: long steep grades at 6K+ Feet = 20-30mph max, and the noise level at 60mph and above. I can't wait to get a lift on this thing and stop dragging the rear...Any hope of getting away from this truck before it was too late, is long gone... The sickess is completely in control now...

Someone ran out of rivets at the factory the day they made my lights. The desert pics are from thanksgiving, and the washboard roads wiggled all the little bolts out that held them together...I removed the one that's missing in the photos because it ended up dangling from the wiring, trying to flag airplanes down, while I was driving. Both are riveted back on now...much better.

Nice piggy mate, good to see another old girl back on the tracks.
The sickness had a firm hold on me before i'd even bought or driven a pig

That's really a nice pig, I'd hold on to that beauty, it's nice to see one that isn't rusted thru the rockers and everywhere else.
