Robby, I wish I could have a conversation with you about the FJ55 build. I have restored three of them and know them fairly well. There are some tricks and there's some things that you might take into consideration before you get yourself really deep into it. I have a pair of doors in Heber. The thing that is broken off on the doors is the remains of the original mirrors.

One more thing I would like to add to this, is that every pig deservers a Toyota Frame, so put this thing on a newer landcruiser chassis like a early 90's 80 series. every Land Cruiser deserves a Japanese Frame.

The mirror on the driver side was ripped off from me and brother fighting over the steering wheel!! THANK YOU FOR MEMORIES!! I was the oldest of seven and the 3 older kids learned how to drive in that! So fun to see it run!! Can’t wait to see it when it’s all done!!💗 BEST FIRST DRIVE EVER!!😂😂😂😂 my hubby once had to drive it out of Levan canyon with no brakes!!! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING !

JKs are like Rabbits of the off road world, just more and more multiplying and coming out of the bushes every day! this is a way cooler build and will make for way more interesting content, as well as a way cooler looking overall end project for you to wheel around plus you will be able to pack in the whole family and still have room for some camping gear and whatnot!🤘🤘

We called my desert tan, 1978 Landcruiser "Daktari", named after a 1960's tv show. I bought it in 1988 for $500 and it ran well. It was built like a tank and it could go anywhere. My friends referred to it as the dinosaur. Every time we took it out was an adventure. One time, on a long offroad excursion, the fuel pump died in the bush, miles from anywhere. We had to rig up a pop can to manually feed fuel into the carburertor, to drive it out of the bush. I think we did it like you did with the hood up and a guy standing on the front bumper. Your video brought back fond memories of that experience although at the time it was extremely stressful. It was a daily driver for 2 years and I had plans to restore the vehicle but sadly, with regret, it went to the wreckers instead. Everything still worked including the electric window in the rear tailgate.. Just needed new brakes. I bought two brand new front fenders to replace the rusty ones but never installed them. The only part I still have is the jack. Great video! Too bad you will destroy your original Landcruiser. It is unique. So ugly, you have to love it!

Plus none of us is perfect, well guys know no one is perfect, but happy wife tip try saying to her no one is perfect except you. Anyway, thank you all for the hard work that goes into all your shows and all the very best from Scotland.
