    What would it take?

    715 a side, 1430 a pair. 250 shipping to us. Makes it 1680 a pair. If there was 10 pairs sold it makes it $1537 a pair. At today’s exchange rate it’s just over $1200 US. $1106 if there is a group buy of 10 pairs. Still not cheap, as 8 said I’m not rush8ng out to buy. But if you have to pay...

    What would it take?

    Emu wing got back to me. $715 (Australian $$) a side, 250 shipping to US (same price for one or a pair) They didn’t have a minimum number, but they do need a 55 to us to make the kit off. They are based in Melbourne. Can be clear or tinted black. Would replace the factory window and seal...

    What would it take?

    Reckon this would be more practical. They don’t do a 55 series, but I could ask what sort of numbers it would take. Would make it a lot more practical, still look somewhat factory. Removes the cargo window seals. Are the cargo windows the same right through all 55?

    FJ55 Questions from a NEWBie whoo needs guidance please

    Have seen some crazy things doneto 55 from over there. I would be very cautious. Ambulance door was an option in the later few years, I reckon it was after 77 but not 100% on that. But I don’t think diesel was factory anywhere. In Australia there was a few dealers offering a Perkins diesel motor...

    Looking at this FJ55 this weekend,,,any thoughts

    He says factory 2f, but it should be an f (or 1f) for that year. They have said above that it is the f motor which I would look at as a good thing. Interior doesn’t look factory (unless you guys got som3 funky interiors over there). Dash looks a little hammered too. But as said above, it all...

    Darwin Australia fj55, with a few questions

    Went out to Dundee Beach last weekend. Was planing to take the ranger, but I had it in to get some suspension components replaced and they sent up the wrong parts. So it was out of action. It’s about a 330 km return trip. Towing about a 1.2 ton boat. With a few sections of the road with water...

    Wombat. Haha, it’s just a bit of fury material that the oringal owner cut and velcrowed in place. Worked a treat, dash is in perfect condition.

    Darwin Australia fj55, with a few questions

    One must not pass up the opportunity to recover a Land Rover. (Truth be known I did bugger all and the Landy was there rescuing a Mitsubishi, but can’t let the truth get in the way of story) Also found a land cruiser that handles like it’s on rails

    Stop speed????

    Mine will go 100km/h, or just a smudge over. But seems most comfortable at 90 km/h. I'm interested what size tyres people have too. I'm tempted to go up in tyre size, to 33's just go get a better top end speed, I know it will be a little moe sluggish down low, and I'll loose a bit of gearing...

    How do you lock your front doors?

    I'm in the same boat as you. It's just adds to the experience I reckon haha.

    Darwin Australia fj55, with a few questions

    They will eat you with out hesitation. This time of year, they are on the move with all the water, andfounx in alol sorts of unpredictable places. Like 4 m long found in drain on the side of a road recently. There seems to be about 2 fatalities a year from crocs. And there's only a population...
