I can respect that...

Stoffregen, Wise counsel. The rugged truck-like quality of the 55 with a slant towards the relative comfort of the 80. Something to think about. But you can't spell worth a damn...

Before the accident, I gave that serious consideration. The '80 has just at 250k miles. I felt as if I was on borrowed time with it. I was confident I had at least another 50k miles to go before anything major, but definitely nervous about having a vehicle with that many miles being my DD. That...

I'm embarrassed to say I only had liability on it. It was supposed to be temporary, but Mrs. Hog forgot to add the comprehensive back on (she feels horrible). So no-nothing from insurance. I got a screaming deal on parts, so $$ isn't the issue. It's the time to do the labor and the patience of a...

I'm heartbroken and in a quandary. Two weeks ago, a drunk driver failed to yield and turned in front of me while I was driving my 1994 FZJ80 "Shrek". I slammed on the brakes and swerved hard to the right, but my front left bumper ended up hitting his front passenger fender of his 02 Chevy...

Previous owner left some items in the glovebox Looks like the previous owner knew how to have a good time!! :rockon:

Awesome read so far! I love to hear the interesting stories about how old trucks come to us. Subscribed...:ylsmoke:

Toyota could turn the 76 series into their version of the G-Wagen. Great idea! That WOULD fly off the shelves. Even at a $60k price point. It wouldn't necessarily compete with the 4Runner either. Ahh...same ol wishful thinking.

"Those turn signals on the fenders, if original, make the rig a 1970 or later. '69 had round turn signals. Mundo, I have mismatched turn signals (for now). The one on the left was thrown on since the original was crushed...

Mundo4x4casa Now THAT's overlanding! I liked your comment about the FJ55 registry. I agree-so few survived and the remaining ones are either meticulously restored or in some form if repair. In any event, most people are not willing to risk damaging precious and rare sheetmetal. Still, next to...

I was JUST in SD too-Memorial weekend. If you for some reason find yourself in Denver and still in possession, please let me know!

I like to keep it simple...vinyl floors, with floor mats standard, cloth seats, sliding rear glass windows, standard air compressor (we had a Pontiac in the '80s with one), and about 2'' more height/lift. I'm sure I just described something already available overseas...

Is this still available?

I live in Denver and can pick up. I'll take two for sure-three if I can make them all fit in the back of my 80-series.

Damn!! This happened while I was on a plane coming back from Fort Lauderdale. I think I pass you going North sometimes on I25 coming from Denver. Do you have a Dakar sticker on your drivers side fender and a blacked out hood? If so, that's one of the best looking Monteros I've ever seen. I'll...

Kaiser- I'm jealous. That picture is enough to make me switch from Toyotas. Did we talk about this at the annual Christmas party? If so, I just got new brakes and I'm ready to roll!

Mane! This truck is RIGHT. I'm with Plethoraof Guns on this. I wouldn't change a damn thing. I especially like the sunflower seeds and work gloves on the dashboard...

I have both the tin cloth and the double mackinaw. I wear the tin cloth for getting dirty outside (camping, yard work, dog park) and I find it warm with layering down to about 32 degrees. I wear my double mack cruiser between 40 and 15 degrees comfortably. To work everyday, a night on the town...

How much? What part of. the country? (Ohio or Arizona?) Have you seen it?
