Toyota pays homage to the Land Cruiser's roots with an absolutely stunning SEMA build, the "FJ Bruiser". Inspired by the rock crawling vehicles found at King of The Hammers, this beastly FJ started out as a vintage 1966 Toyota FJ45 Land Cruiser pickup truck. Running 20" Method 304 wheels in a custom finish and wrapped in 42" BF Goodrich tires gives the FJ Bruiser exceptional clearance and strength to handle the rocks anywhere, anytime. Should you get stuck, the center skid plate was replaced with a tank-like system that can be used to power out of any high centered situation. The CAMSO track is controlled from the cockpit, so the driver can stay securely seated; no need to unstrap and find something to tie off the winch. Tank mode can be activated with the push of a button. To top off this impressive build, Toyota gave the FJ Bruiser the might of a NASCAR Cup Car in the form of a 358 cu.in., 725 horsepower V8 engine.
