Thanks for the pics!

Love all the hinged-top Troopies.


What is going on with big blue's rear suspension? Is that a modified bucket setup or is it broken?

Really like the mustard tray-back 45 on what appears to be a FJ80 (?) frame...Very clean.

That's the best string of 40 pics I've ever seen. Can you post a link to your online album amazing

Love the land rover trying to blend in with the cool gang

Just ordered some panels from Germany for my BJ41 I've got to get my trucks on the road

Need to sell my Gen1 4runner first though to raise some build cash

Immpresive. Really hard to imagine all those vintage Land Cruisers being in good shape to date, minus one that needed a little buffing !

I'd love to have more info on those pop tops. Does someone manufacture such a unit or are they one offs? I have been thinking about doing something similar on my 44.

No medium wheel based trucks? I guess they really are just in Japan..?

Nice stuff!

There is quite a lot of 43s in France, Belgium and the Netherlands.

The Flip Top 45s were first made by a company called Pongratz&Otto and they called it Worldcruiser.
