Ok Steve after all the brake jokes I guess I deserved that. I wouldn't even mention that you are older than I am. Besides I owned the same cruiser for over thirty years. How many people can say they owned the same vehicle all they adult life. Of course how many would what to.


OK John what took you so long? I heard you had a 25 awhile back. You no longer live in Placerville? You should post in the 45 owner section. I know they would love to see your 45swb. You still have it right. You do know who I am right?



The first John P. 4/1960 FJ25s, 1965 FJ45LPB, 1968 FJ40 hard top, 1973 FJ40 OEM soft top, 1989 FJ62 and a 1961 and a 1963 FJ40 hard tops to make one out of.

Yes John P. I remember crating up your back panel for your 45. circa 1997? I still work in Placerville, We bought a house in Camino 4 years ago. Built a nice shop. I collect as many cruiser parts as I can. Daily driver is still my swb45 truck, I'm still very hot and heavy into building, restoring and modifying Land Cruisers. I HATE to type is the reason it took me so long to join up,I would rather be wrenching or welding, or even doing body work than typing, now I have to read the 25,40,45,and 100 list, to keep up. Thanks everyone for the welcome, John Pardi

Glad to see you made it. Most of the active 25 owners on on this site. I havn't post in the owners area of the 45 section. I'm like you only joined Mud after the 25 section got started.


You crated up a FJ45 hard top but that wasn't mine. That belonged to Miles B. He bought the you used to make the mold for the fiberglass panels, right? I'm the guy who bought the 45 in lincoln back in Jan 96 (been almost ten years already). Towed it back with my 89 FJ62 to Phx with that hard top in the back. Did you move all the parts that you had in the barn? Still have the 40 that was filled with concrete in the back and the crane on the front? Why only one 25 so far?

So do you have a 100 series too? I thinking of trading in my Tundra for a used one. Then the only thing we have that isn't a cruiser is my wife's 4Runner.

I have a 25 with 40 brakes on 25 axles. The back has pressed on wheel bearings and no C clips. A couple of POs ago did it to install Torsen diffs in the front and rear axles. Do you have a parts book for early 40s? Cruiser_Nerd and myself have a hard copy of the 63 FJ25 parts book. I would like to compare axle part numbers so I can tell how the PO did the brake coversion.

So where is Camino compared to Placerville? Get up to the Rubicon much? That's some place I really want to go again. It's only been thirty years.

I wouldn't even mention that you are older than I am.

But, you just did.

The first John P.

So, what does that make you . . . John P. I versus John P. III??
(Sounds like a Pope title. And, you call me ancient? )
