I saw this SWB fixed top . On this pic the Wheel base look more like the fj45 LWB is there 3 models of fj45 pick up ?
A LWB frame with a short bed on it ?
The tire is in the middle of the bed .....

There are 3 models. Swb fixed top and swb removable top which share a frame and lwb removable top an lv which share a frame
 
And two tire carriers on swb. One under In middle and one on back
 
The lv, fixed top, and the swb removable top all share the same 104 inch wheelbase. The lpb lwb is on 116 wb. The pic above looks like the rear wheel is centered but its not.
 
Ahh. My bad. No coffee yet.
 
They fixed top cab is shorter by about 2 inches and they made up for the difference in the bed length. A few years ago I was lucky to have both versions and did some quick measuring. The fixed beds also got more support pieces along the inside which created a rust nightmare, water would collect inside the square tubing and rot from the inside out.
 
Yeah that picture is wrong. Try this:
New hubcaps on an old 45.webp

Thnx for all those answers !!
Everything start with my fj40 stretch that i'm not sure i like the line of my custom bed.
And i thing i will go with a Aqualu swb bed instead of my Stout bed.

I will need to recut my frame to fit the Wheel base i'm at 125'' but on the road i think it's perfect it does'nt bounce at all .
I have the fj40 Spring (OME 2.5'') Under as it still a fj40 frame and it fit perfect .
