Check out the FJ40 we drove today!

[1974FJ]

My guess is that the trucks a SUA with 31" All Terrains with fake beadlocks?
with all that engineering overkill, It should never get hung or stuck

 

[65fj40]

im with poser...i mean really could you really enjoy wheelin a rig like that...too busy checking all the crap thats in it..

 

[1973Guppie]

is there a switch to get your gfriend/wife to shut up while sitting in the passenger seat??

OR a guage to show how pissed off she is? now, that would be cool.

It's got a Warn winch up front, lessee, Ranchos, dual spares, etc...really pretty cool, unique for sure!

 

[F-junker]

What a Freakin' NERD!!!
Ok, well I guess it's cool but go gone way too far.

 

[FARMAN33]

Shaking my head....



I cant get 3 of my 5 guages to work.




Whatever.

 

[76FJ40]

Needs more switches and buttons!

 

[TCinVA]

Hey, to each his own. Like Poser said, if it was about need, we'd all drive echos or whatever and hike over the rocks. I think it's a cool looking FJ, he just concentrated on stuff that I wouldn't and couldn't.

One of the reasons why I bought my Cruiser is it was simple enough for me to work on. This Cruiser just defeats the purpose!! It has more electronics than my '05 Tahoe!!!

 

[eleblanc]

I'd be shocked not to find locker switch? Does he, David?

He even still have empty hole for more gauge!

 

[Degnol]

Probably has that cockpit warning.............."WUP! WUP! WUP! You are off the road....Pull back on!!! WUP! WUP! WUP!"

...Er to remotely know how pissed she is when you aren't going to make it to dinner at home on time. :whoops:

The thing is pretty crazy. he has gauges to monitor EVERYTHING! Diff temps, cases, oil, fluid, electronics, fuel, exhaust, manifold and muffler, etc etc. Then he has systems to monitor suspension articulation, inclinometer, then monitors to how much stress various parts of the truck were seeing, etc etc. It's mind boggling, the dude is an engineer and just went off. The gauges are all aircraft quality, great stuff. There are 56 engraved plaques on this thing for labels!

The truck has a 350 V8 plus dual bottle nitrous!![/





uhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........does he have any gauges to monitor the the gauges?

he's not following the rules, it's puff puff give

Actually LOL'ed on this one!

I'm putting this piece in the next issue. We wheeled it and it has some surprises.

Quick off topic post but when is 4wdtoyota owner going to switch to every month!! I love the mag and I go nuts waiting 2 months for the next mag when I read it cover to cover 5 times in the first 5 days!!

 

[77TLCFJ40]

Sweet!

I bet he can turn his headlights, taillights, blinkers, and side markers on and off individually. That would take up at least...what... 12 switches???

Look forward to the article.

 

[oldfj40]

Nice rig.

That dash must look sweet at night with the running lights on.
Any bells or whistles or warning lights?I mean with all that stuff to look at-as well as the road/trail-you could miss noticing,say,that you're running outta gas.:whoops:
Looking forward to the article.

Yes, it's the red one under the tach. It turns on the passenger seat vibrator that is linked to engine RPM. The faster you rev the quieter she gets!

Does it go up to 11?

 

[JJS]

Shocks, pegs, gauges, switches...luckkkkyyyy.





Overkill in my opinion, but to each their own.
