Pretty sure I read the build thread on this truck years ago.

A Land Cruiser FJ45 With An 80-Series Chassis And A Tundra V8

This vehicle started life as a 1964 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45, in more recent years it was rebuilt and it now rides on a Land Cruiser 80-series chassis

Amazing!

Amazing!

Get this, the company that makes these indestructible trucks is in Canada. They import all these cool trucks to armour, but we
can't get them to drive. What is wrong with Canada. IF I ran for Prime Minister all/any Toyota Diesel trcuks would be importable
and legal in Canada. More likely than free dental care.......

Once again, if they don't find you handsome....they should at least find you handy.

Rebuilding the grape arbour before it falls down, threading 24 footers through that nest without damaging the vines...

Got the ****ers in, but it's 10am and I need a beer.

Seriously that rack is one of my best ever purchases. So damn cheap at p.a. when they go on sale, I've thought about buying one and modifying it for the 60.
It's cheaper than the steel, nevermind the paint.

How long are they end to end? Looks right at home over a 42.5 roof.

A bit under 24'.

I scarfed 12 footers together. Half is already fed into the grape arbour in that pic.

Or if you mean the rack, it's for a smaller pickup. Taco etc. I cut a foot or so out of the overhang over the cab. Somewhere in the 10-12' range I think?

On sale now apparently. Think I paid 250 a few years ago, but still cheap.

I really love animals but I would love to hear the story/damage report after mowing down the local wildlife with that roo-bar of yours.

With the speed of a naturally exasperated 3b, they have a fair bit of time to get out of the way

Call it euthanasia... if they can't get out of the na 3b, they most be close to death's door.

Couple troopies. Obviously

Dude does not look like one to **** with.
Judging by how far back everyone is parked I'd say they agree.

Now there's the post apocalyptic camper we need.

Not Toyota, but cool. We just finished a 4200km road trip to Saskatchewan and back for a family reunion. Saw this rig at the Western Development Museum in Saskatoon.

VVT-I V6 apparently. It did not make Reserve of $60000. Only got to $55K. Sure would be nice
in my driveway anyhow.
