A Chopped FJ40 – Not my Cup of Tea – You?
2012
Here is a chopped up Land Cruiser FJ40 that is build exclusively mudding. I’m sure this is a very capable machine, however I cannot ever imagine cutting into an FJ40 to achieve this result. I LOVE the classic look of the FJ40 and this style just robs the cruiser of its intended glory. I am admidditly a colector and not a mudder, and I am fully aware this shadws my opinions about the FJ40.
If your interest you can find it in Houston listed here on craigslist.

This truck was built by a close friend and I have worked some on it, let me assure you this rig was not “pristine” or restorable when we began the build, daylight was showing thru the entire floorboards, and the rear quarter panels were almost falling off. It was not built for mud, but for rocks and the truck has spanked most of the hard core trails in Moab Utah, Clayton Okla and Black Hills of SD>>>>>Tom sold the truck several years ago to the current owner.
Butch,
Thanks for the comment and the back story on this cruiser. Now that we know the full story I say great work!
