50 Cool Rat Rods Everyone Has to See

1976 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj40

Our next vehicle is a 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj40. The lowered street rod version was built by Allers Rods & Customs in a shop near Johannesburg, South Africa. The mechanics said they made this vehicle because they wanted something that represented South African culture.

We guess classic land cruisers are pretty popular over there. Looking at the Fj40 itself, Allers Rods & Customs included modified front suspension, Jeep Wrangler seats, and Volkswagen Golf headlights. It also has four-pot calipers front breaks with single-pot discs and Lexus 1UZ V8. It took the team 1,200 hours to finish. We think it looks all sorts of awesome.
