The fabled Bedford JO was the smallest model of the TJ range.
New Zealand almost certainly had the bulk of the limited production run (1961-66), with many government department having considerable fleets of them. A fair number have survived but many have been either customised to varying degrees or exported to the UK, where they are favoured by nostalgic members of the travelling community. These vehicles are subjected to no-expense spared restorations and end up in better than new condition.
This particular example was seen roadside on the outskirts of Thames at the base of the Coromandel Peninsular. In common with just about all of the customised examles to be seen here in NZ, it has been re-powered with a V8 engine mated to an automatic gearbox. The wider pattern wheels and tyres do not look too out of place and no "chop-job" has been done to the cab! The steel-channel bumper, "Roo Bar" and sun visor are normal Antipodean accessories for a JO and make for a not unpleasant blending of originality and tasteful customisation.
Customised pump detail, a Zéfal HPX that used to be black.
All the black coating and plastic can be removed as long as you leave a little bit of the end cap, that silly "lock switch" I never use. Hope this answers your questions Gerhard.
Customised with lowered suspension and new alloys.
Other modifications and detailing done.

Introducing The Furry Mayhem...
The Furry Mayhem consists of Flink Strothers (Lead guitar, vocals), Groobo Tubbs (Bass guitar, backing vocals) and Thrubb (Drums, backing howls, grunts). The Furry Mayhem are widely considered to be the true progenitors of the Furry Metal genre. They formed in the early noughties after meeting at the legendary rock club "The Sock Drawer" (it was originally called "The Rock Store" but due a mishap involving the poor handwriting of the owner and a myopic signwriter the name stuck) and were soon signed to FM Records. Their debut album "We Are The Furry Mayhem" made them household names all over the world and even their roadie, Wilko Roby, has become a celebrity in his own right. Flink is married to leading model Elspeth Frond, Groobo has opened his own chain of crazy golf courses and Thrubb was recently a contestant in the popular TV series "I'm A Celebrity.." (but was sadly disqualified after eating three hammocks, two trees and one of the cameras).
They're currently on tour in their customised amp/winnebago/chest of drawers. Catch them at a venue near you soon!
Work done for "Tales from the Sock Drawer" group show at the 20-21 Gallery Visual Arts Centre, Scunthorpe from Nov 13 - Jan 2011 and then touring starting with York In Jan - April, more details soon.

CUSTOMISED INSTRUCTIONS PENDING
Please DM if interested in a customised set of instructions in 1:15 (Creator Expert / Icons) scale.
No doubt those in Lego and Ford Bronco circles would have seen the AI-generated model posted as a reel on instagram by @blueridgeaccessories. A great looking model for sure, among a bunch of other AI-generated models.
As a designer of Lego Broncos myself, I took a long, hard look at what the computer created, and wondered if it could indeed be translated into a real build.
Took some doing, but I present here the Gen ! in 1:15 scale. I plan to create instructions - customisable, as with my other Bronco projects, in the near future. Please DM if interested. Or contact me on Instagram @buildmybrickbronco
At this point I would also like to recognise the Lego model builders whose work was likely used to train the AI:

Just added to my collection of customised MiniFigs the German Generaal.

Here’s my customised Integrity Toys Romain Perrin doll on a tall Coomodel muscle body. I’ve been wanting a long haired version of him ever since Acheron came out and I’ve loved his sculpt so much. I gave him a quick face up cuz I didn’t want to overwhelm his sculpt and just wanted to bring out the personality already present in the sculpt.
I’ve been wanting to make a brushed yarn weft wig for the longest time so when I got Romaine bald I decided I try it out. I’m not a fan of the texture but it’s ridiculously fun to style and pose the hair for photography.

A 1930 Ford Model A Coupe Customised Hot Rod, powered by a 1950s De Soto (Chrysler) ‘Firedome’ V8. Registration: “BF 6917”, imported to the UK in 2014. I decided to include both photos of the front and rear of this car, as this Ford was one of my most favourite cars of the event. This is a superb Hot Rod which is representative of a true “of-the-period” custom and reflects what these cars would’ve typically looked like in the 1950s through early ‘60s. This example is not ‘Billet’, nor is it a trailer queen, not overly polished, no blindingly bright paintwork, no cliché flame graphics, no crazy expensive gizmos, no too-fancy wheels, and on the other hand - not a slammed, fake patina’d, cobbled-together Rat Rod, either. A few of the guys at the show agreed on the exact same thing - “not too flash, not so rat”. This ‘rod is just about perfect!”. Seen at the annual ‘Race The Waves’ hot rod racing event opening/registration/scrutineering pre-race gathering on Church Green, Old Town, Bridlington, Yorkshire, UK, 13/06/25.
