Here’s the FJ Cruiser ute that Toyota wouldn’t make

AutoExec Summary
A fan has transformed the popular FJ Cruiser into a single-cab ute that resembles a Toyota production model. Built by Tinman Fabrications in Victoria, the project involved extending the chassis, adding a tray, and using parts from other vehicles. The result is a unique Australian vehicle that the owner plans to use daily. The FJ’s body was cut and a rear cab wall from a Nissan Patrol GU ute was added. The chassis was extended by 300mm to accommodate a tray and chunky all-terrain tyres. The leftover body section was repurposed as storage. This transformation has been well-received on social media. The FJ Cruiser was in production until 2022 and may return as a small SUV based on the HiLux Champ ute.

Brands mentioned: Toyota, Nissan.
