Post up some photos of the beaten, the dented, the soiled, and most importantly...we want the ugliest FSJ's out there. The winner gets nothing but bragging rights, and might earn the rusty bolt award!
THE CRUSTIEST OF THE RUSTIEST!

Contest already over?! The blarney you say!!!!

I'm glad to come in second...err, last...second...last....second-to-last...no, wait, that'd make it first..whatever...

I wish I'd taken a pic of the rhino grill standing forlornly on a frame at the War Hoops junkyard in Sterling Heights (MI)...

My entry: A 'slammed' cargo-doored hoopty! (not my pic, dunno who should get credit)

Hasn't this already been done in the "post up pictures of your rig" thread? Oh wait, I must be confused.

Sorry I don't have a picture of the 79 Honcho I bought from a scrap yard a few years ago. Trucks with rotted floor structure, inner and outer rockers and frames are common here in MI. but this Honcho was outstanding. When I first seen it it was in two pieces, the cab and bed. The tow truck driver said it came apart as he winched it on his truck. The windshield had fallen inside the cab and both doors fell off when they were opened. Why did you buy it you ask? It had the elusive T-18 with 258.

79 Honcho at the U-pull-it not too far away from where I am.
It's not as bad as that logging j300 truck, but its sure seen better days.

That Belize J-300 takes it hands down. I've never seen those closeup shots before. Awesome.

Yup, engine fire. Looked pretty serious too, hope the driver/passenger/s got out okay. It had been converted to run on propane, but I dunno if that had anything to do with the fire or not.

I think it was good, I dont remember exactly, but I do know it wasn't bent or badly rusted. That black one next to it was also a 79 j10 and had an okay tailgate. I haven't been there for a while, I wanted to go back soon, but we'll see. If I do, I'll take some more pics.
