Hello everyone. I owned a ´72 FJ 40 back in the seventies and loved it. Now I live in Colombia, South America and I probobly see a dozen of these vehicles every day and every once in a while a pickup version. Most pickups here quickly lose their box and get a stake bed installed (holds more) but now and then I see an FJ 45 with it´s original box like this one:
The rarest of the rare is the FJ style long wheelbase 4 door "wagon" model. I´ve only seen two here but interestingly I did see one on Rt. 7 in Vermont in 1969, replete with snowplow. Not to get off topic but I have also seen four or five of the early sixties model Nissan Patrol (even including a pickup version but with stake bed of course). They look like old Willys Jeepsters.
I probobly won´t post much since I don´t have a Toyota but if any body wants me to take snapshots of the Toyota Machos (latest iteration of the FJ 40) or the Prados I´ll be happy to. Landcruisers, Machos and Prados were actually assembled here from 1994 until just last year by a company called SOFASA (it has gone back to assembling only Renaults which is how it started in the sixties.)
Let us know all about yourself and your car. Break the ice in here.
