Did you know the FJ40 was produced by Toyota up until 2001 with live axles?

If I did this fender conversion here in the states, I wonder if I would get a ticket for not having mirrors on my doors?

Looks pretty cool because its so different




Crazy :crazy:

So BigMike...i suppose now you want me to build you a 1st gen 4-door pickup? I could if you want one. Cheap, just to promote my business. I know i haven't even done 1 yet, but i can. I've just been putting other projects 1st.

P.S....(I could really use some MC07-R10 plates, 4:70 gearsets, and high steer kits.)

By the letter of the law a mirror is required on the drivers side and you have to be able to see it from seat position, also one other mirror of your choice (either rearview, or passenger)

X2 What he said  :yupyup:.  Also, the only requirement for a pass. side mirror is if your view is directly obstructed to the rear (I.E.  cargo box, no back widow, towing a high box trailer, and yes EVEN tinted windows... :yesnod:) But it is nice to have that mirror if you happen to have a load that blocks your view over the tailgate  :gap:
