It's a rainy Friday night up here in NH and I'm finally getting around to starting a thread for my '81 FJ40 restoration. My plan:
-Starting with an '81 FJ40 with power steering
-2" Lift
-33x9.5's (picking up a brand new set tomorrow morning from fellow mud member)
-Soft and hard tops
-Everything else will be stock
-Truck was originally white, then painted that ugly beige by the PO. New paint will be BC/CC Dune beige. I'll be doing this myself.
-I hate wagon wheels. Yes, even the "D" window Toyota wheels that came stock on these, so I'm going with the earlier grey hub cap style wheels. The wheels in the photos are just rollers for the resto.
Here's what it looked like when I picked it up in VT:
