Just wanted to introduce myself
Hello. I recently purchased my first FJ40, and wanted to introduce myself to fellow Wisconsinites. I live in Cedarburg, WI. (just North of Milwaukee). My vehicle is in Eagle River, where we are doing a complete frame off restoration. What is special about this vehicle (I believe), is that it only has 11,000 original documented miles. I do not believe I am going to need alot of parts but will need a few to get this job done. Anyway, I have enjoyed this site so far and look forward to this new project. JMP

Eagle River. I heard there is another, same color but a '75 (15,000 miles) for $7,500. Any thoughts on whether this is a good price?

I will try to get the contact information for you.
On a different matter, I am trying to locate an original AM radio for my 1978 FJ40. Please let me know if you come across one (does not have to be from a 1978 FJ since the same radio went into the units for a number of years) Thanks, JMP

Nice Find! I just saw a 40 similar to yours last weekend (except it was lifted and beat-up a little). I had a hard time explaining to my friend (he drives a Heep  ) the trickle of drool on my chin.
Post lots of pics of the build!

James at cruiserparts.net has radios. I would give them a call. He gets and has weird stuff. I just ordered cowl vent tubes(in the package), and received them, ON TIME. Cdan says they stopped making those when Jesus Christ was a baby...
On another point-still waiting on the pm on the other 40
Thanks
Scott

Typical . Oh well , did not need another 40 anyway. OTH I found a '70 40 right here in town. Asking 3500 or best offer. It is a trail rig. I am not interested but I can get the contact info if anyone else is. I also looked at it. Located about 4 minutes from my house.
