great ride. interior and engine setup look amazing. good to see you didn't stop only on lift and 33's. Do you working on it for a long time? cheers
the 40 has been going through it's build for about 7 or 8 years. mainly due to lack of funds or lack of time & sometimes a combination of both, but i don't plan on stopping yet.
mad looking shorty 40, must hammer with a chev in it.
Nice 40 there crooza, a lot of work has gone into that old girl! Nice gauge set up too.
Mate, nice rig. Gotta love the FJ40's, would have been my only other choice in 4x4 before i got the landy
nice job, looks good
got a new soft top on it now as the hard top had some rot in it. will post more pics on soon
That fuel injection set up is making my mouth water
Love a well modified 40 shorty with a chev. Awsome job and gets used for what it was made for, off road.....
is your main pic a recent one croozy? That roll bar looks seriously overkill but awesome.......best one I've seen. Mate if you rolled she'd bounce down the road a few extra times with that padding lol !!! What is the padding and how bigs your tubing.....great work. Rear seats look great too.
