1968 FJ40 Build in Colombia (Update Engine is on the frame!!!)
It´s about time I started my own thread to share back what I have learned here.
This rig was bought initially as a tow truck for an ATV but it ended up becoming my main toy (the ATV was sold because I never rode it again .
The car was bought in May 2007. As I said, my only purpose for this car was using it (and probably abusing too) as a tow truck, but when I got it, some things had to be fixed for it to be a safe vehicle.
I started wandering around the internet and found mud, what a BIIIIG MISTAKE lol. Even though I've always liked wrenching and working on cars, Toyotas were not my biggest love, but after seeing some beautiful rigs and projects here, the list of things that I wanted to fix before I started using it as a tow rig grew from changing the brake fluid and some minor details to a complete frame off rebuid.
This is what I got
Nice "eyelids"
Looked like a nice beginning, little or no aparent rust, engine working ok, the wife even thought it was a good idea
