    Here's the thread:

    http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33171

    There was a lot of speculation on whether it was legit, etc. Well, it turns out that it was legit! The reason I know this, is my wife's FJ Land Cruiser was one of thousands of submissions that were selected. We've had to keep it hush-hush, until they went public with the show. As already speculated, the show is Lost in Transmission, hosted by Rutledge and George, to air on the History Channel next month. There have been several commercials. The one below shows a little bit of my wife and her FJ. Her episode is scheduled to air on May 28th.

    Thanks for the update on the show. Sadly we don't have TV but may later see it someplace. Good luck. (y)

    That is sooo cool, congratulations to both of you. :bouncy:

    I watched your link a bunch of times trying to see the before pics...maybe you can supply a bit of history on the FJ?

    Thanks guys. My wife's Dad bought the FJ new, in 1972, a year before my wife was born. She grew up in that truck. He gave it to her a couple of years ago, hoping it might get some attention, since she's married to me, a car nut. It was in pretty rough shape. Obviously, they're both ecstatic!

    Our show airs on May 28th.

    I'll have to check it out. Does the show 'show' your vehicles?

    I was asking Jeff (n2fordmuscle) the question; since he was talking about his wife's FJ, I wanted to know if his vehicles would be seen in their episode.
