Looking for a project Jeep Forward Control truck? These Jeep FC trucks are rare to begin with and this one looks like a great candidate for a rebuild. Or at least to rob some parts from! It looks like there is some other Jeep Willys Wagons and Jeep Wagoneers sitting there as well.

I am not usually a fan of HDR photos, but the process helps this photo of an abandoned Willys Jeep truck.

This is an interesting photo of a Toyota FJ25, which predated the infamous FJ40. According to my sources, a FJ25 with hard doors and a soft top is pretty rare.

A while ago, I wrote an article for our sister site, Off Road Race Canada, where I listed some of the truck trends that really annoy me. You know…stacks poking through the bed, Hummers in general, etc. The trend that got the most comments (and mostly negative ones) was that I think most people buy snorkles because they think it makes their vehicle look tough or it gives them that “expedition” look. I admit that there is a few times, like the one in the photo above, that a snorkle does come in handy.

The note said “This is a picture of my Dad, Don Barlow racing in the Carrera 1000. How I understand it they only put on this race one time. I think it was around 1971 or 1972. The race started in Palm Springs and ran down to Mexico to the Bay of Los Angeles and then back up and ended in Mexicali. Bikes, Trucks and Buggies all ran together. He won overall despite the flat tire.”

This photo is tagged “1958 FJ25”. What does the writing say? Does anyone have more information about this photo? It looks like it is a press photo of a 1958 Toyota FJ25, which preceded the FJ40.

Best off-road vehicle I ever owned. 1956 CJ5 3spd, 134 with an oil bath air cleaner, twin stick, 5.38 axle ratio, drums all the way around, manual everything, heater and defroster were worthless, totally stock except for wheels, tires and custom roll cage.
