It's a 6x4, meaning one of the rears axles is not under power, shame.

Where is it

Where is it

Looks like an Australian fj55 owners group on Facebook. Just a guess though.

mtnpig is correct. I think its in Toowoomba.

Needs the wheel base extended 10 inches and UTE tray on the back

 

[scrapdaddy]

Reminds me of an old airport tug. Not in a bad way .

Certainly would have solved by rear bumper issue on Elephant Hill a few weeks ago.

While on the ute topic. Aussie rural fire service...

@gonzopancho mentioned acquiring an FZRJKLMNOP-75 (or something like that) which got me thinking about that line of pickups. So so so close to what the expanded 50 series COULD have looked like. Interesting to note that some of the four door models used wagon rear doors while some models went to the trouble to produce full rear doors.

Here is a comparison pic of the rear of a 55 and the back of a 70 series pickup cab.

A reiteration in difference of what I’m referring to as a rear wagon door and “full door”.

Notice the curvature at the bottom rear door in above pic, and the straight lines in the rear door below.

Would almost put money on that bottom one not being a factory build.

 

[gonzopancho]

I think the 77s are the evolution of the 55

Would almost put money on that bottom one not being a factory build.

You could be right, though I did come across a couple others with similar rear doors. Thought maybe it had something to do with them being a later year model.(?)
