At least they mounted the led headlights high enough that any oncoming traffic will be blinded and spared its visage.
What was the inspiration?

That side view is not a great look. 3/4 is very good though… but doesn’t that extended area just house the engine?Ultimate hotness.

Correct. But I guess you could do some storage or something above it?
I got to spend 2 weeks working on a stereo for a custom convertible Testarossa back in '89. That car was so stunning in person and to cut the roof off was a bold move.
the base model is called the 1958....for the first year of the landcruiser.....ot intro to the us...do not remember....
50k for the base model....
nah...

I just realized that post pandemic there is now 2 buses into town. One in the morning, one in the afternoon. If you miss it, you are screwed. An Uber is over $50, I'm sure. It used to run every half hour (it takes 30 minutes to get downtown so it was 2 buses). Now it's twice. I used to ride it daily when I was downtown. The bus doesn't go over the pass, so I have to drive at this gig in the burbs.
I would *love* to see this sort of analysis done here.
Of course, there's no "reasonable" alternative in our country, because we're a bunch of dumb motherfuckers.

I dislike Uber, but had to finally relent and install it last week when I'd stood for 15 minutes trying to get a yellow/green cab to the airport while in Brooklyn.
I’ve only been in a handful of ubers. When in TO, I had to yell to prevent the driver from mowing over a pedestrian in a crosswalk. At other times the driver has been on the phone the entire trip. Serves a purpose, but the experience isn’t something I’d actively seek out.
uber started great but is going to eventually self-imolate. The last couple cars I was in were complete trash, with drivers who suck, and now they ask you to tip. It used to be great because you just got in the fucking car and went where you needed to. Now it's no different and just as expensive as a cab. Originally it was a godsend in Boston which has archaic taxi medallions and could charge whatever they wanted to get you anywhere, but now uber is charging so goddamned much I'd consider taking a cab again.
I have yet to take Uber, but it really isn't an option in my area. When I lived in Beaverton or Hillsboro, or even Forest Grove I had access to Portland TriMet busses and Max trains. But Columbia County is lacking in public transportation options.
We did get approved for a VA medical van for transport for vets, so that's helpful.

The future is nao.
I can take the bus to work. It would just take 4 hours out of my day and would be extremely unreliable.I would *love* to see this sort of analysis done here.

By the time I retire I will be able to take a train to work.
When I lived in Forest Grove and worked downtown it was an hour on the bus and 45 minutes in the Max each way with up to 15 minutes of waiting depending on timing. I was only in the office for 4 hours. It was supposed to be remote when I started.
Then I switched to Beaverton and it was 2 buses and only 90 minutes.
The best was just before I moved out to the sticks (again) I was 8 minutes by bike from the office. That was choice, but living 2 doors down from my ex wasn't such a good idea.
That's one way to access the block I guess.
My BIL confirmed that the easiest way to do head-off type engine work on the newer F150's is also to remove the cab.

I used to ride my bike to the Max in Hillsboro and skip the bus sometimes (10 miles), but I'm not looking to bike 40+ miles into work, that's a bit much.
I did bike a few times from Beaverton to downtown. I also used to bring my DH bike on the Max and get off at the zoo. There was an epic illegal trail that ran from the soccer fields down to the BMW dealership and Goose Hollow Max stop in case you want to shuttle back up. Or just pedal in from there, it's like 4 stops from the square.
@gonefirefightin can confirm there were a few "lift the cab" maintenance tasks on his F350.My BIL confirmed that the easiest way to do head-off type engine work on the newer F150's is also to remove the cab.
When I was building and tuning ford 6 liters in my shop, all the lift was used for was lifting the cab. Takes me about 45 min to pull a body. 6 body mounts, 4 wiring harnesses, e brake, steering linkage, shift linkage, ac/heater hoses, and lines, and a few various little things.
Oh, movie prop awesome.
