MWB FRP tops again? (1 Viewer)

[lowenbrau]

Have I not been paying attention?

Is Toyota making a VDJ74?

If not, what was this rig made out of?

Looks like a Pickup that was modified.

Me too. You should see the interior.

Wheelbase looks too short for a pickup and that top is for sure an FRP top cut down. I suppose it could be an older rig with a new style front clip.

A few clues... the graphics disappear into the front fender area. The clip may have been changed. The LHD, and coil front is kind of nice.

Do you have a link with more info on this unit?

Good catch. That makes sense.

The webaddress on the side takes you to a couple more photos at the manufacturers site but it was at last years Allrad show in Germany. I really need to get over to that one some time. 1000 rigs and 300 vendor booths.

Looks like a HZJ-74 chassis, Either it is me or the angle , it looks like ther is an "arch" between the rear spring perch and shackle.


I couldnt afford it . The Germans and the campers rigs , NICE !

that would be even better than FZJ71 .. let's dream in VDJ74 factory lockers, snorkel and winch ! uff ..

Mwb , 5 stud wheels on a pickup = 79,79 series ,don't have front window hinges unless special order

My bets a hzj-74 with new front and and front body mounts modified 50 mm wider each side to support the front

Germany still gets the hzjs
Bonnets come from Aus
A dude in uae or somewhere there bought a vdj bonnet from my local parts supplier, for the intercooler version bonnet

Vdj74
That would be a diesel worth having

the FRP top makes sense ... kind of.
you can remove the top and back to become a pickup again. if done right it would take very little to make it happen.
so
you have a camper for the few times you head out and the rest of the year you have a pickup again.

but i might be wrong here.
