Should There Be Separate 40 & 55 Forums?

[G-Cat]

I'd say keep them together or separate them. Or maybe not...

together is good i need wetherstriping for my 45 and 55 but the 40 is good. bj60 just needs the body cut off and fenders trimed.

Garth1 has a good point.

You know what I think would go, and keep the riff raff seperate is a OEM, or Restorer's forum, where the tech would be, "is this OEM or what interior light is stock on my FJ45 etc........."

I nominate Todd for the 55 mod position and say we put him in charge of making the FAQ. It's not like he does anything else for the Cruiser community.

maybe 60 and 62 should be seperate, too!

They should be. Could not be more different. It was the biggest change Toyota ever did drivline wise in the US>

Maybe we can have an additional section inside the 40 forum for 55 series as they are basically a BIG 40 series. I would like to see who has them and what the current issues with parts/resto are. I have 2 I am restoring and would love to bitch about them to a group that understands the issues. POR has sorta become a 45LV page. Why not make Mud the 55 goto place?

We need to keep it within the 40 series section as all of us can benifit from the gereral tech; especially mechanical tech.
Woody, lets step up. I would be happy to mod a new 55 section or help out any mod that Woody decides upon.

either way is fine


suppose leatherique will be getting its own section too soon, followed by a "do these curtains make my landcruisers ass fat?" section.

I am not an internet genius but I would help out on an FAQ for pigs.

While I hate dealing with 40 owners on questions, I don't think there should be a separate forum

Honestly - it already is slightly inconvenient when you're searching the archives, because sometimes it might be answered in the tech forum or the 60 forum. I ran into this recently on trying to solve a hesitation problem on my wife's 60.

I've tried to keep up with the splits on the forum - The wife already said she's getting a 100 series this spring, so I can fulfill the required forums on each one - but more than likely, I'll sell the 60

40,55,60,80, diesel hilux crew - oh, and a partridge in a pear tree

Same here as a pig owner. In fact I think 40/55/60 should all be together then you can learn things about different models and they are all so similar and there definetely won't be enough traffic in a 55 section. It is kind of fun bouncing around different forums. But I do think 80 and 100 should have their own sections if there is enough traffic (seems to not be a problem) because they are each so different.

I also think the International section should be changed to "Diesels and Intrn'l Cruisers" so it is a little more encompassing

keep the pig! keep the pig! keep the pig! There just GRREEEEAAAAATTTTT!
Never had the chance to see one execept from pictures! I'm a sucka for theses
beasts

I'd LOVE a 55 FAQ and co-mod for this section (or it's own section, depending on poll results)

Does anyone have a copy of the old TLCA FAQ that was written by Rob Mullen? I gave him some FJ55 stuff that he incorporated into the FAQ in a specific 55 section way back when. I don't have a copy of it anymore since that was 6-8 years ago and I can't seem to find it on TLCA's website. It wasn't complete by any means but it would be a place to start for 55 FAQ.

Sweet little piggy

my vote is keep it the way it is, i love my 40, but i like learning about both and if i could ever find a nice 55 i would love to pick it up for the family rig. dont know if the wife would agree. oh well.

Too bad you don't live closer to S. Utah. A neighbor has his Pig sitting in front of my shop with a for sale sign on it right now. Runs sweet. Not too much rust. 2 grand, might even talk terms.

...I've always thought of the 60 as the departure to a more "civilized" cruiser.

My god! Is that supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing The concept of a "civilized" cruiser still makes me shudder and I really had a hard time reconciling the advent of the 60. That pill was easier to swallow when I found out they still used real Cruiser parts and even improved some stuff underneath the pretty sheet metal.

This is a done deal - come check out the "FJ55 Iron Pig Preservation Society" forum.

Long live the Iron Pig!
