Do you have any pictures of the fabled 3 wheeled FJ40. Im interested in it, I am also interested as to why it has many cool new parts but is missing a wheel?

I thought I had some pictures on this computer, but I can't find any right now. "Tripod" started it's life at my house as a project vehicle, and one day a wheel actually came off while driving - and it already had sixty or seventy miles on it after the new wheels were installed.

The people I know in the wheel business have theorized that the mating between the back of the wheel and the brake drum was bad allowing it to work loose. As far as I can tell that wheel was discontinued about that time and I haven't had time to look for a new wheel to get it driving again.

It also seems I don't have the time or energy for a project right now, so I thought I would give Tripod a new lease on life with someone...
