A Rare Wheeler

If you live near the Bay Area in Northern California, you might have seen this FJ doing its commute. It's hard to miss among the CRVs, Celicas, Mercedes, and Land Rovers. Sitting on 39.5-inch Boggers and sporting one of the rarest body configurations available, Brian White's '65 Toyota FJ45 is certainly no normal commuter ride, but for Brian it's his daily driver. A mechanic by trade, Brian can afford the luxury of having his toy be his sole vehicle, driving it to Hollister to wheel, and even down to Pismo Beach for the annual Surf 'N' Turf Land Cruiser event where we first caught up with this FJ two years ago. Back then it was super clean, the fenders hadn't been touched yet, and the Boggers hadn't seen years of daily driving.

But Brian's done a good job of keeping it together since it's also been his wheeler for the last five years. Considering that Brian started with a $500 cab and chassis 10 years ago and went from there, we're pretty impressed with what he's come up with.
