70fj40

Hello from Costa Rica I am looking for a cover that fits my FJ45 LWB . I had searched a bit on google and really did not find exact fits Any ideas ?

Well, this is without at steering stabilizer…..😂 But, being curious about the potential s of my speed racing box…I took it out this afternoon on the same super highway with the same limited preparation It speaks for itself and I can say, trying...

You could not go wrong with either of the 2 shops that replied to you on this thread. No guessing just proven work and plenty of cruiser knowledge.

the finished product after painting it with some spray can bed liner. some light foam on one side just because (not really needed)

Cades cove is an amazing place

1971 body and 1978 running gear, some folks do that on purpose. The real question as said a few times now is do you really like it and will you keep it or are you looking to turn it for a profit at some point. 30K will buy you another just as...

Cleaned and ready for paint. Reinstalled

I’m going to make a trip to the DBNF someday soon. It is beautiful there. I have been through the Mark Twain Forest and it is a great drive too.

Wheeled the Daniel Boone National Forest in eastern Kentucky with a few friends recently.

Someone should have bought that rig when it was 20K. He will never let it go that cheap again. He is even touching it up now!

Thoughts on the 9.5 x 33 Kenda’s?

I like the look of the Geolanders better than the KO3’s. Now KM3’s are my favorite 40 tires but the Geolanders are a close 2nd.

Installed the windows on the hardtop sides. Only have one ambulance door window left to do. Unfortunately I made a slight tear in the seal. Probably would have been ok but I have a new one inbound from City Racer. Should get the tub back...

Exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend.

Great color. These rigs are equal parts frustration and fun. Most issues are so simple they make you laugh at yourself once you get past the frustration and figure them out. Mine recently left me stranded in the driveway and after I pulled and...

If that rig were mine I’d have a lawn chair sitting in that very spot where staring at the mule would be a daily task under that shade tree.

Around 1995, the PO of the Karma Cruiser had me replace the glass runs and perimeter weatherstripping on the front doors. Like most early 40s, the lower door skins had stress cracks at the pressure points where the tracks from the upper door...

Finally got around to putting in the correct shift plate. And had to test it out at Cades Cove.

Old school cool, tools of the trade deep in the wilderness.

Hahaha- we just need more on the road being enjoyed, doesn’t matter how they get there.

This week on the classic Land Cruisers podcast Adam Nichols (@TEQ4RPRO )joins me and he shares about how even though his cruiser addiction has been brief it has an awesome history already. From getting his 72 Fj40 from another cruiser head to his...

I found these on “offer up” for cheap, had them blasted and powder coated.

Hey, well something worked.

I am not sure I’ve ever seen a thread where living in the past has ever mentioned selling any of his 40 fleet especially not the one owner. I’m guessing you already talked to him. The one he mentioned would be a rare find.

I believe we will see FJ40’s value slowly get lower the next 10-15 years. Lots of older owners and enthusiasts aging out. Young guys seem to be deciding on-road manners have as much value as off-road ability. I hope I am wrong. I have about 23K...
