My landcruiser and a 250 in my neighborhood
Where is the 250? I see a j**p across the street.
This was an experiment to see if anybody would notice. I think I'm about to see one several times a day and it ends up being something else, I have to do a lot of second takes. This one gets me a couple times a week...I think I'm about to see a 200 and it ends up being a Highlander all the time as well

Saturday evening 8/24 during a walk around the Southern Gables neighborhood in Lakewood. I wouldn't have recognized those non-USA side view mirrors until @Cruisertrash explained where his came from. Until I saw his, the upgrade on 60 side view mirrors I had always seen were 62 mirrors. The 60 was sharing the driveway with two late model tacos.

Nice spot, I don’t know that one. The mirrors are from Euro 60s and they’re still available from Toyota.Saturday evening 8/24 during a walk around the Southern Gables neighborhood in Lakewood.

Spotted at Ace hardware in Montrose. This thing is at least 70% Toyota. It's a Jerp body on a '98 4runner chassis. Most of the interior is from the 4runner also. Seats, carpet, instrument cluster, even the door panels modified to fit. He fired it up and sweet sound of the 5VZ-FE.

Spotted at the Cars and Coffee car show in Evergreen this morning. Reminds me of Bill (and now Justin) Morgan's Red Chili.

This reminds me of the 1946 Willy's CJ2 I learned to drive on when I was 12.

And this is hands-down the coolest tow truck I have ever seen!

That's interesting that the rear axle is SF. Mine's FF. Also the trapezoidal shape of the bed tire cutouts, mine are round.

Judging from the bezel on the front it's a 1980s SA truck. You probably already knew that though!

Ha! Speaking of SA (where Christo is from), when I pulled into his place when I first got my 45, he got this look on his face, pointed to it and said "I hate those things!". I guess not being able to adjust the seat is one thing, and one ton leaf spring suspension is the other.
Christo is opinionated? Damn right. In 2008 we purchased an African Outback rack and a Technitop tent that he sold because they were from SA. A year later and he had dropped the lines because he decided that South Africans were stupid. Yeah, he has opinions.

Is "SA" in this context South America rather than South Africa? The hand-ness of the steering wheel being one clue. South Africans, if I'm not mistaken, put their tillers on the wrong side of the cab.
This Mud post seems to imply it may be Venezuelan based on the way the bed looks.

FJ45 pickup bed
Hello. I'm looking for a Fj45 pickup 1980-1984 and I found one but the bed is different of the other trucks. The owner says that it is the original bed. Could somebody knows something about it. My research shows that some fj45 in venezuela has that kind of beds. Could be possible the toyota...
