Looks like an AZ (waz'nt me)
Ooohh look at the pic very near the bottom, in it the 100 looks to be tipping to its right side. I see a peek of yellow, which could be OME shocks and it definitly has an ARB Bull bar on it. I but it has the OME lift, and those tires like they might be 33"'s

You got a good eye! I blew it up. OME and looks like 285's. Right on RZPAPP!
Even though it's not stock, it's still very cool to see a 100 on the Rubicon! I wonder who's it is?
In the mag it shows a pic of it beat up pretty good. No rear armor and sliders.
I haven't gotten my mag yet.

It says that Toyota was using the 100's as support vehicles.

In the pic of the 100 leaning over really bad in the link posted, those rockers look pretty beat up. Rear bumper is one thing, but no sliders...
Somebody drove this like they stole it! I wonder if it was provided by Toyota or something. I wouldn't think anyone would do that to their own 100.Greg B said:In the pic of the 100 leaning over really bad in the link posted, those rockers look pretty beat up.

According to 4WDToyotaOwner 100's and a Tacoma were provided by Toyota.
Great magazine btw. It is getting better every time. Too bad there are only 6 issues a year. I finish each issue the first day, and then I have to wait 60 days for the next one.
Oh.. it needs more Lexus . I wonder when the first wheeling RX330 will be shown.
There is an article in the Jan/Feb TT about this FJCruiser run...and yes, the two 100's and the Taco were supplied by Toyota USA as support rigs. They went in with no spare parts and came out unscathed (except for the sheetmetal)....Alan, the TLCA Pres got to drive one of the 100's through...lucky bastard.
I'd love to take a 100 through the Con...just not mine

Hey Brett -
What do you think of Amando's rear bumper? I know Luke does great stuff (I still can't get over how perfect my 80 bumper is) but I dig Amando's angles.
Jasper showed some interest, and I hit Amando offline on his willingness to build another one (or three). Are you still taking your's to Luke?
On topic, MSN Autos showed some pics of FJs that were NOT blue, and they looked much better IMHO. Transformed the truck (which still looks kinda goofy to me, though it's growing on me).
See ya,

It looks like Bill Burke guiding and also driving. Yes it looks like an AZ plate on the 100 alright. Don't know if anyone else saw the e-mail from Bill last week looking for candidates that would be interested in driving the FJ and travelling around, to be hired by Toyota, to assist them with their new soon to be marketing effort for the FJ? It is a 10-month full time assignment.

IIRC Joe Bacal told me that those particular units were early 100's that never were for public consumption, so to speak, and in fact will one day be sent to the crusher because strictly speaking they are legally not allowed to be sold to the public.
Something like that. maybe that's why no one cared if they got beat up. Not sure. I'll try and find out.
Way cool that they made it all the way!

See, just goes to show ya 100s can't wheel. 
According to the Jan/Feb issue of "Toyota Trails":
"The FJ Cruiser was brought in via transport, along with a late model Tacome and two 100 series Land Cruisers as support vehicles." .... "The 100 series rigs features 2" of OME lift and Toyota rear electric lockers. One of the 100s wore BFG 285/75 mud terrains and was equiped with an ARF front locker, while the other rode on 285/75 BFG all terrains with no front locker."

ARF locker? Never heared of it...

Sorry, this should have read 'ARB' locker, not ARF.

Woo hoo! My magazine showed up yesterday.
I hope they didn't leave those 100 parts littering the trail. 
"Pack it in, pack it out!"How hard is it to order sliders. I understand Toyota plans on disposing of them someday, but why destroy them before their time!
