I saw Joe Spell 's yellow fj40 in the mechanic shop behind the Shell station on Pinhook. Last time I met his Dad they were trying to get it running and were going to come to a meeting. 
I hope they're getting closer.
In the new HULK movie there is a 40 with the hardtop parked in a parking circle in front of the university. Looked good no action though

No the sick part is that you feel compelled to talk to the strangers around you in the movie; much less about cruisers ;p

Great finish to the game needed 3 to tie and scored 4 to win with 1 out. Will watch the replay tongiht. Good game in the 8th and 9th.
i was at work...the only part i saw of the game was the last hit
amazing
amazing
The last two innings were worth watching they didn't really do much before that. Rice had a 5 - 0 lead for the better part of 7 innings.
Copied from the 200 section I found interesting posted by FIRSTToy.
This is the most clear explaination of LC history that I have come across (it is an older page, 2003 vintage, so keep that in mind)
I like it because you can clearly see from the family tree- how the models are related and developed.

Toyota Land Cruiser History
As bulldog-yota said, the LC Prado is simply called Land Cruiser in europe.
the 70-series wagon underwent a complete makeover in April 1990. In addition to the original 2-door, a 4-door semi-long model was introduced. Its name was changed to the Prado, and with other design changes it took on its own identity, making the transition to a passenger vehicle.
With a full model change in May of 1996, the Prado embarked on a new and independent path. This 2nd generation design was aimed at creating a car that retained its 4WD character while looking at home on city streets. It reflected Mr. Yoshii's experience while doing development work on another Toyota vehicle, the Carib. Then a Land Cruiser was used as a support car during snow testing. The heavy Land Cruiser often got stuck, while the Carib was "light enough to run circles around it," as Mr. Yohii puts it. Although he had no idea that one day he would be put in cha rge of Land Cruiser development, that experience helped him create the lighter, more car-like characteristics that made the 70-series such a success.

Trivia question...
What's Pesky and going to bring tears to Paul Kegley's eyes???
What's Pesky and going to bring tears to Paul Kegley's eyes???
Ordered some factory decals @ the dealership and paid for them only to find out today they are discontinued. Is there another source for Toyota decals other than the dealership ? I was trying to get new ones that have the 4wheel drive instructions for the glove box door.

Yes,
Look up AtlasX or similar on this board. He's a man of many many talents. I think he also makes OEM looking leather for 80's. Anyway search him out (Shane is his real name) and let me know if you can't find him. He does OEM stickers as well.

Mud user aatlas1x makes some really nice replacement shift pattern plates & decals for FJ40's, maybe he might know of someone or would be interested in doing
