: If you like pristine, uncut FJ45s, then don't look at this DM 07-01-2002, 08:06 AM because this one is bastardized! This is my buddies 45, It's a different approach. I haven't seen too many highly modified 45's. The frame has been removed from the rear, and replaced with tubing. The suspension is a custom 1/4 ellip setup. It's not done, but the rear cage and suspension are complete. ....It's enough to make the "purists" cry.....Bwahhahaha...I love it!:D cruiserbrett 07-01-2002, 08:13 AM Is the bed still around from the chop? Looking for a long or short bed for an FJ45...Looks good, I want to build a wheeling FJ45 one of these days... -Brett DM 07-01-2002, 08:19 AM Another, Mustard Dog 07-01-2002, 08:28 AM Originally posted by cruiserbrett Is the bed still around from the chop?

Looking for a long or short bed for an FJ45 The bed is in very good cond, it just wasn't part of the future plans for the truck. I think you may have been in contact with him about the bed. It's in Idaho. The bed is available, Here is a pic of the bed after it was removed a couple of months ago. cruiserbrett 07-01-2002, 08:38 AM Is the guy named Trenton? I emailed and PM'ed him but no response... I would really like to find a bed one of these days... Could you chat with him and ask about its availibility? Is the bed intact still? Or are the sides on the second pic just copies of the shape? Thanks, -Brett wngrog 07-01-2002, 08:40 AM :smokin: FJ-45! I love it! Mustard Dog 07-01-2002, 08:41 AM My bad:emb: I thought the panels on the rig were from the original bed.

Thanks, -Brett I think you are talkin' about a guy I know here in Idaho named Trenton. He recently took of this bed and tubed the rear and did a 1/4 elliptical. He is hard to get a hold of. I see him once in a while at club meetings. His bed was in rough shape though. Not too rusty but the floor was pretty dented.

Yes, that's him..I told him that you have interest in it, and that he needs to check his mail. The panels that are on there now are rolled sheet metal to mimic a small amount of body. The original bed is available and complete. I will let the two of you discuss the details on that. ;) Another, erickeck 10-03-2009, 05:44 AM Any body know Trents contact info, I think he is living in South of SLC but I was hoping to find out his website wngrog 10-03-2009, 05:46 AM Holy Old Thread Dig-up! Killerpee 10-03-2009, 08:47 PM I surely hope that rig got a makeover somewhere along the way. Any current pics??? ginericfj80 10-04-2009, 01:47 PM He disappeared off the face of the earth and the 45 did too. I haven't seen or heard anything about or of him in years. one 55 guy 10-05-2009, 05:34 PM OK , nice truck ! great paint !:cool::cool: I want to know how do you paint like that ?? anybody know ?? DM 10-06-2009, 06:27 AM Holy crap, this IS an old post! As for Trent, he was living in Lehi, but has been MIA as of late…not sure where he disappeared to…the 45 was purchased by a dude in the SLC area, I know his brother, and supposedly it is in good hands and will soon begin the start of its new life. DM 10-06-2009, 06:28 AM OK , nice truck ! great paint !:cool::cool: I want to know how do you paint like that ?? anybody know ?? Trent’s wife did allot of the painting…The trick is to lay down a background color and then spray over the actual pine needles and limbs as they are placed against the panel...turns out cool when done right.
