    For Sale ***SOLD*** 1978 FJ55 Body + Full BobM Kit + Restored Frame + Title

    ***SOLD*** A cruiser nut from Virginia drove to Missouri this weekend and hauled away most of my 55 stuff. It sounds like the project went to a good home. The buyer plans to continue with it and get the rig on the road someday. He isn't active on Mud, but has several 60s, 55s, and a really nice...

    Builds 79 Aussie BJ55 build

    I understand the best way to make the rear outer lip is to splice in sections of front fender lip. The right front is the same as the left rear and vice versa. I collected several mangled, rusty front fenders for my project. My intention was to use them to make repairs to my rear fender lips...

    For Sale  ***SOLD*** 1978 FJ55 Body + Full BobM Kit + Restored Frame + Title

    All, after months of difficult consideration, I think it's time to move on from my FJ55 project. I've learned a lot and had a ton of fun, but life and work obligations have made it too difficult to continue this project at any reasonable pace. My craigslist ad copy is pasted below. I've...

    And it has a manual hand crank for the rear window, which makes about 1000% more sense than an electric switch on the dash.

    I want to make a serious plug for this seller and this FJ55. I've spent the last 2 weeks doing my due diligence on this FJ55 and it really is as nice and rust free as described. I'd even venture to say it one of the most honest, rust free FJ55s I've ever seen offered for sale. I had hoped to...

    PM Sent Great! PM Sent Consider it yours! Not sure how useful it'll be, though... you know, with the whole 88mph requirement and all.

    Hey guys, So sorry for the absence. Work, holidays, girlfriend, and my ACTUAL project pig have been keeping me busy than I would like. I've been meaning to update this thread but keep putting it off. Thanks for finally calling me out - just the kick in the butt I needed! Parts sold - Grill...

    He does! I saw it back in February. The rear clip is in pretty nice shape too. Happy to work out a deal if you still want the tailgate - getting that clip from Delancy would make your life a whole lot easier, though!

    Sure thing! Can anyone confirm that that piece is the same on all pigs? Note that my pig has an early model dash, whereas your photo show a late model dash.

    Hey cruiserbrett, I have a trade worked out with another mud member for the blinkers. Will let you know if anything changes. Thanks!

    Sorry for overlooking your comment, @71greenpig ! I do not know the condition of any of those parts. I plan to rig up a gravity fuel feed and battery to see if I can the engine to run before disassembly. I'll check those parts out when I get the battery in. If I can't confirm they work, I'll...

    Needs a whole lot more than that to be road worthy I'm afraid. But I agree, the patina really is cool.

    Cool bit of information. It's neat learning about all of the little differences over the years. My other pig is a late model, and I didn't even notice this one didn't have door mounted ashtray until you commented.

    Bob, do you have a 69 in your collection? I'll try to get more photos of it soon so you guys can see just how rough this piggie is. If you're interested in the whole thing, I'll do what I can to help you keep it together. We live a long freaking way from one another, though. haha Shoot me a PM...

    It's on bill of sale only, unfortunately. In Missouri, getting title for it would take 3+ years and be prohibitively expensive. That's why I think it's best as parts. Will gladly sell/trade it to someone whole on bill of sale only for the right price. Otherwise, I think it best that I take...

    Consider the choke cable yours! How does $18 including shipping sound? Shoot me a PM and we can discuss more. The center of the steering wheel has a big split in it and the glove box door has either been replaced with plywood, or the wooden backing is all that is left. The glovebox door hinge is...
