[landcrusher909]

a few weeks ago my son Willaim was riding his bike around town and came home and told me about a landcruiser 45 he found , well last week i got home early and told him, let go check out that cruiser you saw not thinking it could really be a 45 thats what dreams are made of. well sure enough its a 1967 fj-45 we got to talking to the owner who informed me he was the 2nd owner he bought it in 1988 from a doctor who bought it new in 67. well its ours now and my son well he is in heaven. (so am i) my world is complete!!!!! more to the story as i post pics enjoy brother mudders and thanks for this wonderful chance to share this with the landcruiser community

Yep! The gun will get pulled out.

I'll wait to pull the trigger until after he tells the story of how he charged a little old lady $50.00 to haul it away for her.

Some info on the truck
Late f motor
PTO winch, no PTO gearbox or shaft
we think 22,000 miles
had a house paint camo job, protected the metal, very minor rust on the surface
no rust through on the body, tailgate or bed is perfect
top looks like its never been off
has factory cab light in cab
has a full bed cover, looks like a dealer add on, had a fold down OEM seat in the bed with mounts
All original paperwork and tool kit roll are there
still has colum shifter
no non toyota items on it other than Ramsey PTO winch
all seals and weather stripping is good other than door edge
doors are tight and hinges dont move
