I’m not quite retired yet but closer to it. Starting to pull together some cruisers I’ve collected In Missouri and bring them home.
I’d like to build a daily driver old man comfort FJ40.
Parts collected:
1970, 1970, 1972 fj40, 1987 fj60, h55f 5 speed trans.
Using 2f and axles from 87 fj60

Pulling this 60 out of the pile and into the garage next door. Rust bucket, but she runs good. I’ll be pulling the engine and the axles and mating them up to a 1970 fj40 frame. Excited to have time again to wrench.
