A road military checkpoint enforcing a gun ban during tumultuous 80's Philippine election. My Dad served as a local election officer and I took this picture using a disposable film camera.

There is just something timeless about beer and FJ40's. Judging by the amount of hair dad has in this picture, I'd say late 70's.

Me (right middle) and a bunch of my friends chilin out in the back of the Cruiser... How cool was it to have parents that raced a TLC back in the day you ask? Pretty freaking cool, I had no shortage of "freinds". They all wanted to go for a ride. Awww who needs seatbelts?

A shot of the engine bay right after Dad did the 350 conversion. Gotta love the chrome headers!

A old pic of my dad in his cruiser in the late 60's in northern british Columbia.URL=http://s1180.photobucket.com/user/bigneily/media/e4d33c1b
Posted this one in the hunting section but thought it would fit here also, A wolf my dad shot in the 70's in northern b.c also. Neil
Reminds me of the old Toyota ad showing seven Japanese guys in a 40 with the statement that the 40 carried 7 passengers in comfort at 70 mph. Good stuff!

Sadly, no. Here is a link to the last information printed in our local newspaper about them. Would there be any MUD members interested in attending/participating if they started back up?

First picture is from the original owner of my 70. Second is July 2011 when I bought it. Thought posted pictures of my 68 on this thread before but I guess.
What a fantastic flash back. The true tracs, people really enjoying life by the day, the smiles on the faces that are real. My wife and I had a lot of fun in our 40 back in the 70's and 80's. Now she has a FJCruiser and I have the 78 fj40. I still love the flash backs. Thanks to so many for refiring the memory. Please keep them comming.
My first Cruiser, a 1980 FJ40 with factory Power Steering. Pic is from the mid 90's. Sorry I don't go back that far...
Here are a few pics of my old girls from days gone by. The blue one I had is a 1976 FJ40 LHD that I picked up when I was living in the Northern Territory. You can just see my red cattle dog pup in the foreground blending into the dirt.
