So I wanted a 40 since I was a kid.....Well some of my first memories from childhood are ridding in my dad's fj40. I remember being strapped into the jumpseats with my brothers wearing motorcycle helmets. I also remember sitting on a 2x6 layed across the rear section of the rollbar at the drive in. Pretty good stuff. Due to alot of factors I won't bore you with it took me a long time to get a 40. I knew I wanted a rock crawler. I couldn't bring myself to beating up a 40 that was in good condition so I searched around for a long time. Landcruisers arent very plentiful in Charleston and the ones I did see were either crazy expensive or not for sale. Sept of 2004 came around and I found my Fj40. It was a basket case but my stepdad had been a certified mechanic for years before going into business for himself and I had some time on my hands so I figured between the two of us we could make it work. He agreed to help and the journey began....
