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........." 
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.

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

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

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
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.
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.
