1969 Toyota 4X4 FJ55 LAND CRUISER PORTAL AXLED ROCK CRAWLER - PRICE DROP!

Have you ever wanted to move up to an extreme rock crawling rig complete with 4 wheel steering and portal axles? Well, this is your chance to buy a complete extreme rock crawler for less than the cost of the parts that went into building it!!

This is a custom built 1969 Toyota FJ55 Land Cruiser 4x4 with a balanced and blueprinted Chevy 350 engine and a built TH350 transmission. The truck has dual transfer cases using a stock FJ60 case mated to the gear reduction of a NP203 case. The heavily trussed axles are identical rear axles from a FJ60 with 4 Hummer Portal Steering boxes at the ends. Final crawl ratio is 270:1. These were professionally trussed and built by Dutchman Motorsports in Portland, OR using stock parts available at dealers and even NAPA stores! The tires are 42" Interco Super Swamper TSLs wrapped around steel 15x10 8-lug Hummer wheels. The rig rides on a custom ball link suspension for extreme travel. The suspension is fully adjustable at all 4 corners using HD Firestone Semi-Truck Air Ride Air Bags supplied with air from an underhood Caterpillar 3208 Tu-Flo 501 belt driven air compressor controlled by 4 Parker manual air valves. Air bag suspension provides a full 15" of height adjustability. Full hydraulic front and rear steering with Danfoss cylinders and rear steer lockout mounts.

This rig is street legal and licensed, but is purpose built for extreme rock crawling. Wheelbase is 120", width 82" and weight is right at 5000#.

Purchased recently for my wife, but is too much for her to handle right now.

PM me for any questions, more info, specs and build sheet. This build project totalled over $45K. Price dropped to $11,000 OR BEST OFFER. Possible partial delivery negotiable - will meet you at any AZ border.
Located in TEMPE, AZ.

Nice!

The motor sounds great. Can you show any images of the interior with the air ride controls, steering, ect?

Here's a shot from the back seat. Note the four air valves mounted between the front seats, layed out logically so the front right valve controls the inflating/deflating of front right air bag, etc. Simply lift up on the valve to inflate and down to deflate. You can either partially inflate or deflate any bag or combo of bags or make slight adjustments either up or down depending on the terrain. The underhood Cat Tu Flow belt driven, engine oil lubed and coolant cooled compressor tries to maintain a constant 100 psi in the system using the front bumper, and 2 more tanks in the rear as a reserve. It will go from 0psi to 100psi in about 60-90 secs with all valves closed.








I'll take some pics of the rear steer joystick tonight. It's on the floor just in front of the right corner of the driver's seat, under where your right thigh would normally be.

Skin-crawling Rock Crawler

Am wondering if I'm the only one with ^that^ reaction to the words visible in the latest photo shown - post #23, I think. Gee, other than that it seems pretty skookum!

Seriously, Rebel, we're too busy plopping down a few zillion dollars on a winter house to acquire a rig....right now. I fear this will have to wait until next autumn. All the best of LWS.

Or you could park it in our (not yet existing) new garage for 6 months - hey, what a deal!
