Welcome to root45.com. My interest in Cruisers has grown over the years into an addiction of sorts. I started out with a 1972 FJ40 and went form there. Before I saw a picture of Georg Ester's orange FJ45lv, I didn't even know the FJ45lv existed. From that day forward, I have spent hours on-line researching the wagons. When Mark Algazy of Mark's Off Road put his '65 up for sale, I had to buy it. Going back to the addiction I mentioned above, the four LVs pictured on this page are the results of that initial purchase. Check back for updates on the restoration process of these Cruisers in the Restoration and Projects section. The image above will take you to the gallery for each one of the wagons.

I put this web page together because I wanted to give something back to the Cruiser community. I have learned a lot from the on-line forums like IH8MUD and Pirate4x4. I have benefited from personal web pages and the local clubs as well. I hope the information on these pages proves to be useful to you. Feel free to email me and, if you have anything you would like to add to these pages, please let me know.
