As if I don't have enough on my plate, let alone enough LC's, I bought this project! 1972 FJ55, running SBC, minimal rust... I'll keep the progress updated.
In order to use the stock emergency brake on my upgraded 55, is it possible to use the three speed brake assy on a newer FJ40 4spd?

note the brake cable is on the passenger side vs a newer 4spd has the cable on driver side pointing in opposite direction.
Not affiliated but did test drive today with seller. No CL posting etc. unknown mileage on motor/body. Runs and drives and stops. Just in a bit more of a project state for me.
Seller was quick to respond to phone and show vehicle for test drive.

I acquired this 55 via 2-way swap deal and ended up with a decent 55. Never owned one, didn't need it, kinda dig it.
I'm going back on what's been done and how it all started.
When I got it:
Don't find pigs like this much anymore. Engine runs great. Factory 3 speed. I drive it mostly every weekend to the beach. Hate to sell it but have bills to pay. Get it while you can.
Hey y’all
Wondering if anyone has done/seen something tall&skinny on a stock-looking custom hubcap-accepting rim. Not looking for the FJ retro’s but maybe something done from American Steel?
If so, what offset using “stock” axel widths?
Currently running a set of forged M/T-Alcoa 15x10 F/R with...
Hello pig owners,
Gauging interest here on windshield demand. Shop I worked at for a number of years can get supposedly. Price out the door $250.
Shop is located in San Luis Obispo, California. Roughly 3 hours from San Francisco or Los Angeles.
I’d be willing to assist with shipping but it...
I used to have almost 20 parts and project FJ55 rigs, but got rid of everything and saved these 2 to rebuild personally. Well I have a chance to grab a perfect FJ55 body and drop in some diesel fun, so I am selling these off to one or two of you lucky pig fans.
Both have valid Colorado titles...

OK I am finally cleaning out my storage and getting rid of all my parts I have been hoarding for years. Sigh. My 40 projects are taking up all my time and $$ and my pig dreams will have to wait. Probably selling my 2 project rigs also....
Everything is in Denver, near Santa Fe and Belleview. No...
1976 Toyota FJ55
Chevy 350, 4 speed transmission, warn winch, bilstein shocks, front disc brakes. Will come with a different roof rack that is 6’ long. Rust in the usual 55 places but overall one of the cleaner 55’s. This is a great cruiser that runs and drives, you'll turn heads where ever you...
So long story of course. I bought this pig out of Beaufort NC about 12 years ago off of Mud here in the classifieds. I had it shipped in to Franklin TN. My now 15 year old claimed it as his ever since Tippy showed up. It’s been sitting either on side of my house or in the field. We’ve been...
Long story short I was waiting for the boys at the bus stop in Marge when I guy pulls up next to me and says, “I have one of those. You should buy it from me.”
Finally went to peak at it this afternoon. Been sitting under a tarp for 2 years, 15 minutes from me further up in the woods. It’s...
My 16 year is in an engineering tech school. He wants to print a set for our FJ55. The taper looks tricky to create. He wanted to see if he could borrow a set to 3D image scan. A gasket would help too.
He thinks can 3D print the lenses and laser cut the gaskets. He hopes to come up with...
I bought this about 10 yrs ago for a FJ55 resto. I never ended up using it. Its still in its box. Cleaning out the shed and would be nice for someone to use it.
60$ and if you want to cover shipping, I will send it out to you.

Selling my 1972 Toyota Land Cruiser fj55 aka iron pig. The cruiser has a Chevy small block 350. 1 ton axles, power steering, Roll cage, 37 Pitbull tires with spare. I’ve also put sound deading material on every part of the rig. The cruiser is a blast to drive and is a conversation starter. I...
Found a 1972 fj55 it’s pretty solid and definitely original, original Runs and drives . It’s a bit sun burnt from the sun. Not sure of mileage. The question is what is it worth I honestly don’t know .
