Show us your FJ40 then and now

[CondeCruiser]

Show us what your 40 looked like when you bought it and what it looks like now. Here is my '70 FST in July 2021 and now.

This was how I got the 45 part of my build.

All three of the vehicles that went into making my rig. Yes, all 3. Complete frankenstein. A FJ45, a LS400 and a 2nd gen hilux surf.

And now. Still a fair bit to go. But currently my DD.

Not really a Then and Now…more of a Before and After. It’s all good now.

Fun thread idea.


April 2021

Two weekends ago.

Looks about the same, but the one in the trailer was a mechanical mess. The one in the woods is solid in that respect.

I don’t have any pics on my phone to do the before pic justice (purchased in 1985) so I’m posting the oldest one on my phone.

I have 2 candidates for this thread. First, my 43 when I bought it -

a few weeks ago -

And then a pile of 45 parts -

Turned into this beater rock crawler and big box carrier on 40's -
