Looks good!

Nice, did you made them or purchase them? I have been toying with the idea of making a set for my 40. Oh, and welcome to the board. :flipoff2: :beer:

Those are Cooooooool:D I'de like to cut a set out of Black diamond plate for my FJ60:vader2:

the person to talk to about getting them cut out is Bret riverrock97@yahoo.com He helped me out tremendously and I think that they turned out pretty sweet. I traced the panels and scanned them in here at work. Using AutoCAD, I traced the scans and sent them to Bret where he cut them out using a CNC router. I think that the aluminum will dull after some use and will create a pretty nice interior. He mentioned something about having some for a 60 that were being test fitted once someone stops dreaming about moving to Arizona via Texas from Virginia (hmm....):rolleyes:

:zzz: I've been lurking on this list for a while and posted a while back, but here's a little about myself: I bought my first cruiser in 1996 in Laramie, Wyoming. Joined the LCML that year and have been on ever since. I moved to Kansas City, lived there for a year, drove my 40 back to Laramie and stayed a year. Bought a 60 and moved up to Jackson where there were plenty :rasta: , :mad: , and :smokin: oh, and some killer skiing (they got 5' of snow in 5 days just last week)...Sold my 40 while there, but picked up another 40 over in Boise and fixed it up a little. Bought a 55 in wyoming as I was moving out to Virginia. I have been driving a Land Cruiser (either a 40, 60, or 55) everyday for the past 6 years. I'd like to do a spring over on the 55, but am a little concerned about the short driveline on the front, so am looking at fabbing up a second transmission to lengthen it out a bit.

whew, my fingers are tired...a little about my 55. I have all the original documentation including the sales receipt, the owners manual for the dealer installed York air. funny thing is that the 55 started its life in Herndon, Virginia after a couple of owners ended up in Laramie, WY where I moved it back to Virginia.

Hmmm, looks good. My only concerns are they have to be pricey, unless you have an uncle in the sheet metal industry and cold to put your arm against while driving?

But for the cargo area, oh yeah. What are you planning to do about the fuel tank cover? I noticed that it was missing all together.

:D
