Bj40 from Italy (1 Viewer)

[Giulio]

hallo, I greet you from Italy, exactly from my city, Siena.

I have in my family a bj40 for many many years, and 4 years ago I started to restore it, and finally today I finished (or almost)!!!

I want to show you some pictures of the restoration and finally the final result.

Visited Siena 10 years ago. One of my favorite cities in Italy. Rig looks great.

Beautiful! Can I get some more info on your wood steering wheel, and maybe a few more pictures? I love it and would like to do a wood wheel in my 40. Most of the aftermarket solutions I've seen require an adapter with a plastic filler piece that ruins the look of the column.. from what I can see yours looks perfect!

You've done some great work!

Is that a stock rear bumper on your truck?

Also, what's the metal framing behind the driver's seat?

I've found this steering wheel! I like that too. I think they are selling in stores for vintage cars. send 2 more photos. you can see the brand

That looks very nice. I like the fact you kept the stock white spoke wheels, I run FJ60 and FJ62 chrome spoke wheels on my FJ40s.

Love the job you did on your FJ40! The color is my favorite. But even more, I love that you’re from Italy, and Siena in particular! If there is one place that I have to declare as my favorite city, in my favorite country of Italy, it is Siena!

Post more pics of the 40 in your fabulous city please!
