I'm having issues getting pictures to post and also editing posts any help for the rookie would be great.

I for one would love to see pics of your spring over lift.

For Pictures: I highly recommend Google's free Picasa. They give you a lot of free storage for photos and you can link to them here.

WIsh I had a build thread?

I have tons of pic and I wish I could figure out how to post a build thread. If someone could give me directions that would be kick a**!!! Will yesterday I put the rear axle back under her, after installing new weel bearings, seals, pinon seal, disk brakes, pinon shaft pin and springing it over. Also new spring bushings. Next the front axle is getting the works!!!! Hear is some more pics. Enjoy!!

Going on two years of restoration!!! Long way to go!!

Build Thread

When you pull up the FJ55 main page, on the left hand side just below Pigs Parts Group, you will see a small gray box that says New Thread and from there you'll be on your way. welcome to the Mud.

1972 FJ5524384 Current status deceased, I still have the carcass.
Was a 307 Chevy/3 speed/2 barrel carb.
I used it as a daily driver when I purchased it in 1985, while mud racing it I rolled it. It then became my budget racer. Manifolds were inverted with both exhausting out the right side of the hood, air intake routed into the interior which had been gutted and a roll bar installed.
This is the last photo while alive.I was overly aggressive :whoopstranslation: STUPID) when jumping up out of a dry pond. It was approx 12ft in the air. FJ55s don't like landings. RF & LR tires blew, RF spring and front output on trans case broke, front driveshaft went thru the oil pan. The seat buckled the floor, the roll bar bent the roof. However the photo did make it into Four Wheeler Mag Ugly Truck Contest.
The 55 was then used as a flagpole base for several years at our mud race track. Muddy Run Raceway

Hello all. Curious what these are worth. There is one advertised that is in decent shape 1977. Did any of them come with diesel

long time reader, first time poster.
I bought a 76 FJ55 about two years ago.
Almost stocker when I bought her. she's got a great body, it would have stayed pretty stock but it already had a SBC in it. the mods are my sig.
This pic is from the day I bought it. I'll get an updated one on soon.

Micks piglet

When i was young i used to love going bush in my grandfathers 55 series. Watching sapplings disappear under the bullbar as we wound our way to a favourit fishing hole or sitting on the full length roofrack with the cousins squinting as the beach sand bought water to our eyes. He has since handed the keys over to me, it hasnt driven anywhere for many years but it has always been hangared. I've sand blasted the tiniest bits of rust from its panels and in the last 3 weeks replaced its aging running gear with something a little newer. It's actually sitting ontop of a 62 series chassis now, which had a 5L 1990 mustang engine in it, 5 gears, power steer, disc brakes front and 3.5 inches wider track. Its not quite finished but it looks great. I will post pictures soon. The idea was to also put the springs ontop of the axles but its sitting a little higher now so i might not be able to do that.
