I have some photos I think already.

Not the greatest and not all of them, but I can probably do one better.

It will be going for sale soon. I need to finish fixing all the previous owner BS first.

Thanks, I'll check it out. I'm serious about sending some money for your trouble if you decide to try.

Hopefully my new to me 80 will look that nice in about 6 months.

Morse_FJ40 · 02-08-07, 01:01 AM

I'm new to the forum and would like to know more about the classic FJ40. Anyway, hoping to own one someday, Someday soon I hope!
It's very nice to see all the cool pics of your cherished rides. Thanks again!

spex · 02-09-07, 11:56 PM

Mr. Bull!

That was a cool transformation of Col. mustard, it looks very solid.
Oh man, how did you get so lucky to own all those FJ's, you can start your own museum and charge an entrance fee, just to see them

Anyway sir, thanks for getting me pumped up, i too am looking to own one someday. Thanks again, take care!

DBOZ40 · 02-11-07, 08:25 PM

Great work,

love that cage work.

bull · 02-11-07, 08:38 PM

Thanks guys. I just added a in cab winch switch. It looks and acts like a arb air locker switch, but says "winch" on it

Here it is test fitted

1phrogguy · 02-12-07, 09:56 AM

too bad you didn't put that baby in before you put in your new cage, looks like its a pain in the arse to get to.

bull · 02-12-07, 10:15 AM

It was hard to cut...but after it is easy to get to if you are sitting or standing outside the rig. I also like that it is protected from accidently hiiting it.

Bull where could one find a switch like that. I'd like to swap the current toggle switch on my dash out for one like this.

I bought it from a friend who bought it over the counter at a local shop here. I will track it down for you.

trekker · 02-12-07, 08:21 PM

Here in the low country we don't have suspension testing aperati in our drive ways. Hell, there is not a rock that big for at least 200 miles. We just use vw beatles in the Walmart parking lot to test the flex range. Nice Truck!
