My new FJ55

[Devils Paw 80]

Not really. However, finally getting to see one up close has confirmed my feeling that this model is the coolest Cruiser of all. This one was outside the Alaska Club in Fairbanks, Ak. It has a Ft. Wainright sticker on it, suggesting it may belong to a young military man. The two infant seats inside support this idea. It's a bit rough, but not too bad. Looks like 33" tires fit OK with the stock suspension. Exhaust comes out behind the passenger door on the driver's side. My favorite colors, too. It's a good thing the owner didn't show up, otherwise I probably would have made him an offer.

Something about Pigs. Can't place it yet, but I agree my favorite classic Cruiser.

Dude! You're touching it! Pretty easy to hot-wire if you're feeling lucky.

Funny place for the exhaust eh? I always thought so.

 

[Delancy]

Every time I see another Pig thread, it costs me big $$$.

Is this chrome framed or am I seeing things?

part of the window seal-well, it goes into a groove in the window seal...what, you ain't gots?nananananana...jk, but yeah, there were seals for with or without chrome moulding...I like black myself

 

[Delancy]

Yeah and I have seals for without....but it is what it is..... Haha.

Not sure what models/years/packages came with chrome, but think mine should've been.

Not really a chrome fan, honestly, but it's not mine to choose, at this point.

not positive, but i believe the chrome locking molding showed up around 75 or 76. i haven't noticied it on earlier rigs (but i've never looked either)

Hmmmm. More to investigate.

I saw on so many with the chrome grilles that I assumed it was part of a particular package, yet didn't pay attention to years.

If I lose my fair entry over the chrome windshield and rear glass, oh well. Maybe it'll give the 55s a police similar to the bezel squad.
