    New here, *1971* FJ45 LWB Build

    Finally, after a few complications brought about by covid travel restrictions, I was finally able to deliver my FJ45 to Classic Cruiser Co2 in Gaborone, Botswana. They started work almost immediately and we cant wait to see how it turns out.

    Plans have changed quite a bit in the last month! After stripping it down the bare chassis I am now semi reassembling it so that it can be transported to Gaborone to Classic Cruiser Co Botswana for a professional build which will start in January 2021. It changed because firstly, I...

    Hi Rodger I dont think it was submerged in any water, there is no evidence of that anywhere else on the rear end and the rear diff and wheels are in good shape. Other than fine surface rust where the paint has worn off there is no deep rust anywhere onthe body orthe chassis. Also there are...

    Ok been a bit busy lately so I havent done as much as I'd like to have done but I have at least managed to pull out the diff and strip the last components off the chassis so it is now completely bare. I also had to go to Gaborone for work so whilst there I also bought the chassis paint and...

    Thanks Rodger and Ed for the interesting info! Looking closer at the VIN plate its states "HJ45 RP" as apposed to the chassis # wich says "FJ45". I suppose that it is entirely possible that at some point in its life it has had a body swap. Possibly when it was repurposed as a Safari vehicle...

    Hi Rodger Thanks for the insight! I thought there may have been a mistake on the registration papers stating the year of manufacture as 1985. That chassis number I posted is as it appears stamped onto the front right of the chassis as well as the registration papers. I have included a photo of...

    Hello everyone My name is Craig, I'm new here and I have recently been fortunate enough to be able to purchase my 1971 (I think) FJ45 Land Cruiser which I have been chasing for more than a year. The cruiser is running the 2F engine with the 4 speed transmission and has barely been run in with...

    Hello from Botswana

    Hi Rodger, It would be very interesting to know how many detachable top 45s were made and where mine fits in. I have started a build thread and have posted the chassis # up there as someone may be able to give me a more accurate estimate of the year of manufacture, I may be completely wrong in...
