It's not a FJ55, but it's an interesting article. I don't feel so bad on the amount of money I am spending after reading this article.


How I Sold a Toyota Land Cruiser for Nearly $200,000 and Lost Money

I forwarded to my wife, as similar justification.

I'm not $200k foolish but I've got a few Benjamins tied up in two cruisers

My wife accepts it because I enjoy doing it and want to do it "right" the first time

Me too, but my Wife accepts it because she knows I'm an idiot!

Interesting read... But i wonder how much of the hours of elbow grease factored into the final value the writer mentioned. (maybe 50K in total parts??)
Not taking anything away from that rig. It is immaculate to the umpteenth degree. And I guess cudos to the person that can throw down 200K on something many would be fearful of driving. But maybe that's the difference between most owners here on the forum. We absolutely value being able to drive and trail our rigs... Hey that's what these Cruisers were made for right??

Great article though. Thanks for including here!

he blew it on so many levels on that truck. I can think of half a dozen here whose rigs are in better shape that this "uh-hum, restored"(???) rig ...it is a glorious waste of resource. it does, however, indicate that there are people out there crazier than we are, who will pay thru their nose to own one of these relics...me? I'm here for the tools...
