    Lee, That older rig is awesome. Super clean, looks original and I love that rear rack. Nice setup.

    Ok.. the older FJ is nice. I would love to have one like that. The rear rack is very nice... I may have to build a new bumper on my XJ to incorporate something like that....

    Thanks guys. That rear bumper w/ dual swing-outs is not stock of course, I bought it pre-made from Man-A-Fre in California. The passenger-side basket will hold a Coleman cooler perfectly if I don't have to carry jerry cans. They're hard to see in those photos, but I mounted my 2M/70CM antenna on the spare tire carrier and a CB antenna on the jerry can basket. Unfortunately for you guys, Man-A-Fre doesn't make that bumper (or anything else) for Jeeps. The design is quite simple though - it's a piece of heavy-wall 2" square tubing a little wider than the frame with two shorter pieces of the same size square tubing mounted on heavy spindles on each end. The rear of the FJ40 frame is flat and straight across so the bottom square tubing bolts to the frame with three heavy duty flat mounts that keep the bumper and swing-outs away from the body. It weighs 180 lbs. and is very solidly built.

    The tire off to one side is unique to Rovers and FJ's, I think. I have never seen a setup like that for a Jeep.

    Wish I still had mine. I bought a FJ40 new in 1976 , had it for 11 years and sold it. That was one of the dumbest things I ever did. Very dependable , go anywhere.

    Go Toyota's,

    Here in Australia the most popular 4x4's are Toyota's and Nissan's
    This is my rig setup in camping trip mode.



    Below - Some action shots from a video taken at the Staircase in North East Victoria.

    The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!

    It seems the FJs are becoming very popular. We had 3 of them on a trail run I was on last Saturday, it was the first time I had seen them in action on some obstacles.

    Offroad and on the air.
