very cool man

you can buy a silver star here:

IH8MUD.com - Announcements in Forum : Toyota Tech Forums

It allows you to upload unlimited photos on mud.
Or alternately you can start a flickr account

Would love to see more of the photos or the restoration and your other rigs.

Great stuff man!

I noticed that the first 28 has a FJ25 frame number and the frame has definately been stretched. Is this the same way the frame is done on the other 28? Just curious if it was done later or if it was original.

Very neat to see all these survivors, especially those that were obviously worked so hard.

Hi I have found here in Aus that most cab chassis are Fj25 lengthened 450 mm or 18". The only difference between 28 25 is extra bit of chassis behind rear spring hanger on28 and bigger dia shackle pins.

love the old stuff...can't wait to see more of the resto

I have to check the length of mine - but I believe Aussie25 has the same issue with 2 extra lengths added. I'll post the measurements axle to axle, here when I have them.

Cheers Dobster

Hi Dobster I believe you will find your 25 will have been lengthened 18" to make a wheelbase of 108". My Fj 28 has been lengthened the same also just recently I saw a Fj45 1970 model tray back lengthened the same done by toyota from new. Fred.

Here are a few photo's of my madness as you can see every nut bolt and washer is sand blasted, etch primed and painted. even individual spring leaves.

Before i started i built my own sand blaster powered by a 6cyl holden motor

I thought i was the only fool in the world doing a 25...

[JohnnyC]

Hi Jim I started this one in Oct 1994 the one before was too bad so I have it in parts. I keep getting distracted to other projects but now I know other guys in the world have this addiction I will keep chipping away. Cheers Fred.

 

[Dobster]

Wow. I love it! Nice work.
