Saw this FJ40 with its Ford Gran Torino trailer buddy between Phoenix and Tucson today. Anyone from here expecting a baby soon?

I wonder how much oil and tranny fluid is on that Ford.

Obviously not affiliated with @Riverrunner . He told me I had to pay extra because his drivers would NOT put a 40 on the top deck with a vehicle under it.

Second time I've seen pictures of this. I wouldn't recommend it this way, but looks like he needed all the short cars below to make height. Eliminating the bottom spot would have been the safest and preferred method. That's a lot of faith to put in some nylon, an old e-brake and old rubber seals.
This post made me laugh , really....
probably a South American resto of a left hand drive USA 40....mix and match parts

1980 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40
Bid for the chance to own a 1980 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online. Lot #23,842.
Not that mix and match parts are bad as long as you choose the parts. After 78 the metal got noticeably lighter.
Frame members, hinges etc. I prefer the old bib with the holes below the headlights for the small dome lights.
If I chose , I would use a 72~75 chassis and use the early bib for the looks. I also kinda like the 72ish
smaller rectangular lights so I'd want the same era aprons with the marker lights in the aprons. Call me weird but I also
like the split hood. A tailgate rather than barn doors for utility
You have to wonder how long those rear fender wells will look that nice once they hit some big bumps..... the 40 not the Torino
Just envision the up travel with those tires and no body cutting. 31's can be made to fit but 33s and larger will buckle the
body in any decent articulation. Some say the 33 skinnies work but I must push my trucks harder, I've always had to trim with 33's.
Do you really believe this vehicle will be used in such a fashion ? My bet it is a garage queen , maybe a dirt road ?
there might be 1 1/2" up travel before those tires hit body. You can do that climbing the curb into the driveway.
They look like 35"s. Distance from the body seam to the rear of the wheel well is about 34"
