FJ40 in the parking lot of the Big Tool Box (Ace Hardware) in Centennial. I met the owner and his SO inside. He said he bought it from a guy on Craigslist who had restored it, but hadn't driven it more than 500 miles in the last 5 years. Hard to tell from the photos, but it's a deep green color.

Saw this built 80 in the parking lot of El Parral Mexican in Greenwood Village. Looks like he's fabbing his own rear bumper. One thing that's cool about 80s now that they're getting older -- they don't all look the same anymore!

The "pig package" paint looks sort of like PIGmented duraliner? Can anyone confirm based on these pics? I'm on my phone, and it's hard to tell.

Regardless, I am digging the de-flared, and nod-to-history color scheme. (Wheels in brain are turning)

I’ve always liked deflared 80’s, and when I was looking into lining my last one, I planned on hugging that same body line. Really clean. Would like to see those handles done but looks pretty great regardless.

FJ60 losing a grudge match drag race at the KBPI Rock and Roll Car Show at Bandimere. The other car was long gone. :hill: The guys behind me kept calling it a 4Runner. :rolleyes:

City Market. Didn't see anyone who looked like Hugh (and I assume it is or was his Cruiser, it may not be) but I was in a hurry getting ready to leave for Craig in the morning so I wasn't wandering around.
