In your very first post you said, "Bucky doesn’t aspire to greatness"... I would say he looks pretty GREAT to me!!!

I appreciate the compliment! I will say this though...Bucky is the most photogenic piece of rusty crap I have ever owned. There are literally pieces falling off and I don't care. I like the truck just like it is!

Don’t cut it. Add load bars for the tent. Remove the rack. You don’t camp all the time (not you Dave, this was for the Con Ferr comment)

That is one of the things that make these 55s GREAT! They look good no matter what!!!

I just bought a 1970 FJ55 and named him "Winchester Buckshot III". I call him "Buckshot" mostly because we found several Winchester Buckshot shells in the glove box.

What size are those rims and tires? They look like the perfect size to me!

Wheels are Toyota 15x5.5. Tires are 33x10.5/15.

Thank you! 33's are perfect on the FJ55's

Took the dog and the pig for a sunset cruise.

Better stay out of the corn!

The kids and I took Bucky out to the 2021 Olde North State Cruisers Relic Run. Truck did great. Ol' Bucky was a group leader and led a group of relics through the Uwharrie National Forest. Later in the day, Bucky led another group of relics and non-relics up a more difficult area of the Forest. Again, no hiccups. No drama. The truck just plain works.

Chatted pig latin with @MacDaddyRabbit and had a chance to ogle his beautiful '77 piggie.
