Inspired by some of @dmaddox BAT photos, I decided to hunt down some literature. Unfortunately, the seller of the “cars & trucks” brochure thought sending it without any protection whatsoever was a good idea. So, I have a replacement of that...

Holy crap! congrats!!

Super happy to see that price shoot up at the end. Congrats!

Congrats Dallas!! Alot of blood sweat and tears went into this amazing restoration! Perhaps its time for another porsche!!

Congratulations on the sale! There are a lot of excellent build threads on 'MUD, but in my opinion your project set the gold standard of restoration excellence!

A+

I was watching all morning… congratulations on the sale. I hope it’s what you were looking for.

Seriously, thank you, all. What a ride.

The high bidders on BaT are likely not the ih8mud.com crowd. We know the investment of time and money to build a unicorn. We all are rooting for your auction - not for the money but more for the validation and the market appreciation of what you...

Ha! You and me both. Not just for my greedy claws, but for the OEM/restoration market as a whole. Rarely has the modified market exceeded the value of high-level restorations, but that might just be changing? Something I have to tell myself is...

I can't find the "friendships, council, ideas, help, support, parts, and time" bid button on BAT... All kidding aside, I am really looking forward, albeit with nervous anticipation, to see how your truck fares in a couple days. I'm sure you set...

We prefer cash in small bills and random serial numbers. GLWS

@dmaddox conversely ….being inspired by the beauty you’ve created sends the “love” right back. Pushes me harder to get it all together

I want to save all those pics just to use as references.

As the years fly by, it is clear to me that what persists any one project is the value of this forum and community. The friendships, council, ideas, help, support, parts, and time we invest in each other far exceeds any $ I'd receive for the...

I have several photos of the truck saved. Printed on for my office on 11x17 glossy photo paper along with one of Nate’s carburetor pictures

Done. Man I hope you clean up on this sale. Definitely deserve it. Makes me sad on some level - at least for me, hard to sell something with the effort and time you put into it. Best of luck!

Whomever has to have the best, this is it.

As much pain, sweat and tears as you've put into this 40, I sincerely hope you get all the money you deserve. It would be ideal if two or more guys with really deep pockets decide they must have it. I'm rooting for you, Dallas! GLWTA

Thank you Nolan, all - means the world. This community has been "home" for years. Such a stand-up crowd.

Best of luck https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1978-toyota-land-cruiser-fj40-269/?utm_source=Iterable&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Model_Update

Wow. Looks nice! Clean ad

I'm excited to have my project go live on Bring a Trailer. I would be honored with any comments or support you could offer on the thread and to help spread the word. Thank you, all.

Coming from someone that didn’t follow your entire build thread, I first opened this thread and must embarrassingly admit I was immediately critical of your decision to sell. Then I read your incredibly thought out for sale post and I understood...
