[82cruiser]

Finished with the 25 front end project on the troopy. Not sure what to call it now...HJ27, HJ37? What do you all think?

I used a '64 windshield on my '75 because it was the best I had. Gotta love the one slow speed...

bahahaha....here comes johnny to piss in your cereal.

Looks nice, randy!

 

[JohnnyC]

ahhhh i'm just kidding Randy...


Just giving you some more ideas

you can't just have something thats alil rare...you need to go full out rare LOL

BTW: thats a really cool rig....and it just got better


also...No old style mirrors on there???

do you have enough projects going on

 

[82cruiser]

Thanks for the comments....most of them anyway .

Johnny. I forgot that JohnnyC-Keeper of all things OEM-would be scrutinizing. Maybe it should be an HJ17 until I make progress on the new list you provided. Oh, you forgot to mention a split hood and aprons, which I do have to go on at some point. Still need a chrome strip, but Kina may have a good one. The old style mirrors look great but are not the best solution for this truck as it's a DD. Just ordered some of SOR's non-US convex mirrors to see if they help. Stamped hinges FogB? That's a good one! Feel free to send yours up along with those cool ribbed doors you have there.

bravo Randy I like it!!!!

 

[BigRedFJ40]

Damn that's sexy I like it!

 

[JohnnyC]

Oh, you forgot to mention a split hood and aprons.

i cant believe i missed that


i'm getting old


also look into getting a split windshield

 

[green40]

Very Nice!
Good work Randy!

Looking good Randy, I was wondering what happened to that project.

Another wannabe............ ;p And where's the old style running boards?

There were like a dozen models in the pre-40 series. We'll try this for a wheelbase comparison:

FJ21 & 27 = 2WD
FJ25 = FJ40 90"
FJ24 = FJ28 = FJ43 95"
FJ35 = FJ45LV (45 SWB) 104" (Gene's Rig)

As far as I know there wasn't a 116" wheelbase. So maybe:
FJ37 ~ FJ45LPB = FJ47 ?????
How about HJ37?

 

[JohnnyC]

an hj37...now that does sound more like it...thanks Cruiser_Guy for clarifying any confusion over Randy's Rig

HJ37 + Randy still = Cool Rig

 

[peepers]

so dope.

 

[Spud]

Nice...That would make a good sweeper wagon.

JohnnyC - you can't just have something thats alil rare...you need to go full out rare LOL

I must come clean Johnny, it's not that rare as it's not a true oem 25 bib and bars. It's a early '70's bib and some hollow steel tubing with nuts welded inside the ends with screws holding them onto the bib. The 25 bibs are rare, spendy, and should be reserved for a real FJ25 resto.

Cruiser_Nerd - Another wannabe............ ;p And where's the old style running boards?

So true, so true.... The old long boards are on there ;p.

Thanks for the historical reference and it makes sense. HJ37 it is! Now I have to change my license plates .
