Remember this truck? Here is a rest of the story...
That's funny!
That rocket launcher would come in handy when you were searching for a parking space at your local Walmart.

...this is person of interest...wanted dead or alive award is 1,700 000$.....
They're hard pictures to even comment on, but I do enjoy browsing through them... They really show the versatility and reliability these truck have... Imagine a new chev, ford or dodge with a rocket launcher on the back it would just look so out of place....
Here is an interesting read a friend of mine sent me a while back... Looks like toyota is losing some of the market to chinese knock off's... I wonder how reliable they are... Maybe in 15 years we will find out first hand lol (as if there is that much oil left)

Stop calling it a "FJ."
Hi All:
Well, it goes without saying that one would think that there is still a huge market in the world for simple, reliable, capable 4wd vehicles.
Toyota 4wds from around 1985 would be an excellent starting point for a Chinese, Indian, etc. company to use as design fodder.
A '85 HiLux copy with a reliable I-4 diesel or petrol engine would do well.
A good copy of the early 70/75 Series Land Cruiser with reliable I-6 diesel and petrol engines would fill the void that the current overly expensive and complex 78 and 79 Series presents.
Interestedly enough, it sounds like Land Rover may discontinue the Defender Series (the only true truck they still build) in the next few years.
Regards,
Alan

Is still very cheap to buy a landcruiser 79 pick up at ME. US 30K++ , brand new and there you go. Compare the price of Australia and South Africa. Enormous amount!

...and there is going to be lot of trucks for parts...
Why choose 70 series as rocket launcher? Not Hilux or whatever?
Only 70 series can handle the job? I doubt so.
