Hello All,

I have a 1975 FJ45 RHD, and would love some tips on reputable parts vendors. I’m trying to decide whether I should sell or reno the “Big Beige Bubba” in my field. Any advice/ recommendations you can give will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Catbird Girl

I heard pix were a good idea...

Here are a couple more. I found an ad for this very one on this forum. It has a bit of a history.

I always wondered where my old truck went! Last I heard it went to Petaluma, NorCal! Looks like it’s been sitting since I sold it!

Wow, how long have you been around these FJ45s' ?

 

[whitey45]

Bought my first one in 94, had around 18 since!

Would change the rims /tyres in smaller ones ...
.... best size would be ↪7,50 x16.↩......

Welcome to the forum and thanks for posting pictures. We LOVE pictures! Yes, there several vendors to get specialty parts as well as forum members who have a ton of knowledge on these old rigs. I vote to get it running and safely driving again. I included web links to 3 vendors who have specialize in older land cruisers (there are more).

Hi Whitey it’s still in Norcal! My hubby is acquainted with the gent who bought it. I saw it and thought how cool is that and he gave it to me! We’ve been waiting for our house to be finished to give it some TLC. I love driving it, thought I would have trouble with the RHD but aside from my husband clinching the dash it’s been easy breezy.

It came with what I think are the originals. I agree the ones mounted are too aggressive to be comfortable on the road.

If you're in Norcal, you'll want to consider @orangefj45 Valley Hybrids. No better place for mechanical parts and any work you may need done. Close to you.

Pretty cool to see that truck resurface.

Welcome to mud, we're happy to help if you need any parts or info.

I’d call you a hoarder but I suppose a recycler of sorts is more appropriate...

Most were brought back from the dead and returned back to the enthusiasts that love and cherish the 45 that and the hunt and chase are what keeps me awake at night!
