[Timbo FJ45]

Your build is so jaw dropping and terrific execution of your ideas. You probably have another customer for the cool products on your site.

Thanks man. I appreciate that.

Hey Timbo, saw this pic on FB from Landcruisers New Zealand, didn't know you were cruising over there, great shot. LOL. Cheers, Geoff.

Thank you.

Thank you. Well the plan was to just restore it as a truck but decided later to convert it. Had already owned the truck for a few years before the rebuild.

Thanks heaps!

I’m honestly considering a similar build and love the idea of shortening the tub for better departure & aesthetic! Do you reckon it would have been easier starting with a troopy (understanding you already had a Ute)

Thanks!

What an amazing build and ride you got there. I love your build and it's inspired me to start working on Fj45 project. I would like to know how much you lifted the troopy is it 2.5 or 4 inch. Imo you ride got the best look with fited wheel and lifted hight.

I got it from Hanson Off Road. They make one for the FJ40.

Man, I don't know. Seems like it might not make a difference. Could extend the frame I would think.

Thank you. I have a 4 inch lift. Alcan springs. I almost went with 35s but decided later to run the 37s.
