Here I go again. Since finishing up my 1978 frame off resto this past Spring, I have been wanting to take on another project. Been on the lookout for a 1976 or newer FJ40 for another frame off restoration this winter. I like the 78's the best but I figured a 76-78 would be in my preferred range.
Found a 1977 on Craigslist in Denver that I had my eye on for the past month or so. Had to go to Denver on business last weekend and I had made arrangements to check it out. I liked what I saw and we agreed on a price. The wife and I drove down yesterday and trailered it back home.
This thread will document the restoration of this 40. Not sure what I am gonna do with it after I am done, the wife has mentioned several times she may want to keep it and make it her own. If not, then I may sell it or give it to my youngest son if he becomes interested in it.
