Actually, I would rather build a FJ-25, but you don't really see those Around anymore. I had a chance to buy one around 5 years ago but I got a P/U instead.

FYI, that pic you posted there is not an FJ25. It's just a really early FJ40 factory softop. And it's for sale again. I saw the ad just yesturday on SOR I think. I visit so many damn boards that I get them all mixed up... Decent price too...something like $6500 I think.

EDIT: Just found where I saw it. It wasn't SOR, it was Cruizers.com. The add was posted on December 1st. It's a 1962 FJ40 Factory Soft Top. Here's the link to it: 1962 FJ40 Soft Top (http://www.cruizers.com/cgi-bin/isc/classifieds.cgi?action=detail&AdNumber=15270&CategoryID=100&SubID=1077&Position=6&TotalCount=326&Session=3fdd4c0c3441aba0&FirstPage=&LastPage=20&prevaction=show)

I was going ask about that....It looked like a 40 to me. What is the difference between a 25 and 40? TBH, I never had heard of a 25 before.

FJ25 was one of the predecessors to the FJ40. It looks similar to 40s, but a bit different. Here's a couple good pages for pics and info:

Land Cruiser History (http://www.landcruiserclub.co.za/history/cruiser_history.htm)

BJ and 25 Series (http://www.brian894x4.com/LC25.html)

That second one is from a HUGE Toyota site. There is TONS of info on Toyota 4x4s. The home page is http://www.brian894x4.com/

That site is awesome, never seen it before. Its been a while since I have searched the Web for cruiser stuff. I Knew that wasn't a 25, but I couldn't find a pic of a 25. Since the the 40 came out in 67-68 it couln'nt be. I just wanted to show the smaller Jeep style doors that is stardard on all the FJ-25 in the US. The main difference in the front clip. The drivetrain is a little different too. Not sure exactly what its been a while since i've seen one.
