I've noticed there is a lack of FJ55 postings on this forum. Is this because they are the black sheep of the yota family (not much chop) or just because they are butt ugly
Is an FJ55's running gear interchangeable with other yota models

Because there's hardly any of them around anymore, last one I saw was when I test drove one 15 years ago, so glad I didn't buy it, it was a rust bucket. Brought a 68 Ex-Army Landy instead.

most drivetrain part s are interchangeable, i'vd got a 55 series gearbox in mine (reverse switch was in a different place, but may be due to year differences) driveshaft and diffs work, springs work (some have a slightly wider bushing) engines all work.

yeah they are pretty scarce these days. I have seen the odd one around brisbane though. there was one parked up the street about a yr ago, saw one at new farm park about a month back that was in really good nick, no noticable exterior rust at all..
you'll find a heap more 55series info on ih8mud and pirate4x4 than you will here.. can't wait to be finished with my 40 so i can start on a 55!
