Hey bob-o, wanna figure out freight shipping for the blue one for me? :D
 
Jeep Thingey???

It is an old 60's toyota..don't know exactly what the name is but it does not run now. The guy wanted to sell it to me..You would hard pressed to find parts for it now.
 
Weak axles

The axles looked pretty small and weak,but they are toyota so you never know. It has a 4cyl gas engine in it,4speed trans,2 speed t-case,and a winch pto lever but the winch is long gone.
 
Blue one is a toyota me thinks. for you FJ-40 guys, look at he glove box cover on the dash. That is definitely a toyota-ish looking cover.
 
Interesting...

The blue thingy looks to have a 5 lug floater rear like the original Jeep MB! Also, The rusty seams on the side are in the correct spot for a pre-CJ5 Willys. (CJ 2's and 3's)

Could it maybe be a Brazilian Willys?
 
Good research ol'jeep I would have to agree with you.
 
I love seeing trucks from other countries. I was in Aruba several months back and you would not belive all the 4door hilux trucks running around. I guess with a diesel refinery on the island it makes sense that most of the vehichles there are diesels.
