Guangie 03-05-2002, 08:59 AM Check out this link, a new FJ40, plastic and everything just like Japanese cars today. http://www.tlc4x4/2000/restorations/new/fj40/tlc_slide_fj40-proto.htm (http://www.tlc4x4.com/2000/restorations/new/fj40/tlc_slide_fj40-proto.htm) Jason M 03-05-2002, 09:03 AM next link? It does not work for me... Guangie 03-05-2002, 09:16 AM Stupid computer! Lets try this again, if it doesn't work cut and past this address into your browser. http://www.tlc4x4.com/2000/Restorations/new/fj40/tlc_slide_fj40-proto.htm Sorry, I'm a newbie I'm allowed mistakes. http://www.tlc4x4.com/2000/Restorations/new/fj40/tlc_slide_fj40-proto.htm cruiserbrett 03-05-2002, 09:23 AM Looks like they added all that new interior to the Bandeirante bodies they are importing these days... BJ On Roids 03-05-2002, 01:53 PM i like it!! although i dont thinkk the body lines were even that good from factory, the smoothness of the guards and stuff! is this a toyota thing or a custom built thing? TVtommy 03-05-2002, 02:04 PM I'd buy one! TVtommy 03-05-2002, 02:13 PM I'd buy one! Cruiserhaven 03-05-2002, 02:21 PM I like that. If I had the money and an extra stall open in my Cruiser stable then I would want one. I didn't originally care for the Bandeirante tub but seing it assembled into a finished product like that...it doesn't look half bad. That to me is a good picture of what a more modern version of the FJ40 should look like. Spartan enough to hopefully be affordable but with a more modern look and feel to it. What is the engine in that thing? Dog House 03-05-2002, 02:24 PM Windshield no fold down. :( TVtommy 03-05-2002, 02:28 PM I think this is a great idea for Toyota to bring back the FJ40. Landrover stopped importing the D-90 (FJ40's closest rival) a few years ago. If it wasnt for the reason the LR D-90 commands unreasonable prices, I would have bought one. I paid 35k for my "all the candy" Jimmy as my daily driver, and its almost paid off.....I wouldnt mind paying 30k for a new FJ40 with some sory of factory warranty. BJ On Roids 03-05-2002, 02:57 PM toyota actually released a cross betweena 75 series and a 40 series shorty over here in teh early 90s it was a collectors edition and only 4000 or something were built maybe it was 400, but either way i only ever saw one in a magazine :( sort of retro cool, i would have bought one except they never got offered to the public, as well as i would have been to young :( rustycruiser 03-05-2002, 03:58 PM Marv has one of the 40/70 series crosses in his museum. It was called the PX10. Personally, I like the plain 70 series more than that cross bred bastard. As far as buying a Banderante: too late, boys. Last I heard, the Brazilian factory ceased production last year. Ross rustycruiser 03-05-2002, 04:00 PM Here is a pic of SOR's TVtommy 03-05-2002, 04:21 PM Sorry, but its off the subject....since SOR has been mentioned. How are they to deal with? BJ On Roids 03-05-2002, 05:04 PM thats the one!!!! its uglier than i remember:eek: but im sure itd grow on me, especially with a turbo and a spring over, just like the 55s are growin on me!!

Ross Yeah, I remember seeing the PX10 a few years ago. I think the PX10 looks way :rainbow: It doesn't look as good as a 40 or 70 series. orangefj45 03-05-2002, 08:02 PM if they start importing these i'd definetly have to get one for my wife!!!!:D | |
