Worst FJ40 Upgrade Ever

[FloridaLife]

This beauty was on Facebook marketplace awhile back. I had to grab some pics for threads just like this one.

Oh.. My.... Gosh! You HAVE to click on that photo and turn your phone sideways (or look at it on a computer or tablet) to fully embrace what all is going on there.

Speechless.....

Maybe at some point that was a dualie...front and rear? Bonus points for the extra creative hood scoop, if that's what it was supposed to be.

And they must have been short because they put those things on the front corners to be able to tell where they were?

For those of you who said you did Electric Power Steering, I've got a question for you. Do any of you also have a V8? Maybe an LS? If so, was the steering column/shaft and/or box in the way? If so, how did you overcome that? Thank you.

Onur, looking for clarity, does the dash thing apply if my fj40 came with a plywood dash, 1/4", CDX, unfinished & 3 miles of THHN for wiring, never exceeded 3 wires in a wire nut tho. Wasnt much dash left to drill thru but I found a spot .

I’d have to say, the PO’s idea to randomly spray most everything under the hood, along the dash, seat frames, etc with black rattle can paint.
I know not the reason for this, but it has made for lots of hours of unpainting (as if stripping off the re paint(s) on the outside to bring out the OG Capri wasn’t enough).

Black paint stops the rust don’t ya know
