1979 FJ55 Toyota Landcruiser

This video is a quick walk around of my 1979 FJ55 for sale on Bring a Trailer.
Thanks to my son for that cool intro.

This really took me back. Owned a green and white 76 FJ55 for 8 years. Got me home from night shift through the country reliably through those harsh winters of the late 70s, but salt was hard on it. Beautiful, tasty restomod that whoever did buy her (I called her the Green Dragon🐉🐉🐉) bought a real classic. Toyota doesn't make them like this anymore, and I do enjoy my 80 series/LX 450, but I'd sure like to ride in this one more time.

[@residualboulders]

thanks for the comments. I regret selling this one, it was a beauty. Gotta love the 80 series too! I also have one.

I love myself a Iron Pig, thanks KZbin for recommending me here!

[@hirenpatel9094]

Gorgeous and takes me down memory lane as my first landcruiser was a 73 FJ55 that was about 30 years ago.

[@residualboulders]

thank you. I miss it.

[@markmackenzie2533]

What a beautiful FJ55. There aren't many around these days. Here in Australia not many have survived. Is there a better vehicle than a Land Cruiser?

[@residualboulders]

I don’t think there is, and thank you. I miss this one.

I would really like to own a 50 series

[@residualboulders]

Yeah loved this one, I’m sure you would too!

[@user-bk8wh1su3y]

Have you sold this one? If not, how much??

[@residualboulders]

Yes, sold a couple of years ago. I probably should delete this video

[@thepartydontstarttil]

Is this still for sale?

[@residualboulders]

no, this was last year. Sold it on Bring a Trailer. I should have kept it 🙂

Had one, too, overturned it in the Sahara but it got me home well. I appreciate your presentation and can share the emotional involvement behind your comments. Good luck - but never miss to quench its thirst - as long as you can afford it.

[@residualboulders]

@@gerhardgeschwill1638 thanks! There is a good chance I will own another.

[@richardvalitalo3670]

Always too late, how much did it sell for?

Very nice Iron Pig , only the tires are too big , they should be 7.50-16 , and no Led bar

[@residualboulders]

Yeah I get what you are saying. I built this to use it and took it on multiple offroad trips. So I added features I wanted for those trips and I have no regrets with the mods I did to it. That's what is great with vehicles, we all get to build them the way we want. This just sold, new owner loves it!

[@arcticmining23]

Well, if you owned it then you could put 7.50 -16 tires on it. But you don’t so you can just look at other peoples ride and wish you had one to put 7.50-16 tires on .
