The FJ market is what we call in valuation a “Bifurcated market”. 1) drivers/“daily” etc. and 2) collectors/nut and bolt restorations. It’s very important to understand which market the vehicle (house art etc.) competes in. If...

Thank you, $80 wasn’t getting it done this time.

I was watching it all the time. I was hoping it would hit your mark

Thank you, was a lot of fun, a lot of work and a lot of anxiety.

I know what building one is, and I’m looking forward to another. I can not imagine selling one like that!

It only went that high because it was a Proffits Resurrection build.

Well, that LS powered '78 just went for $63k. Hoping the ones who bid and didn't win head your way.

I’ve been looking for OEM headrests for the stock front bench seats in my 1972 FJ40 ever since I discovered that the seats are equipped with headrest brackets from the factory. After searching all the usual used parts suppliers for years, I...

Got 5 wheels cleaned up and painted this afternoon…

I’ve been watching FJ40’s , 45’a and 55’s on BAT for the last 3-4 years. And that same question pops in my head….” There are always a bunch for sale..where the hell do they all come from?” But, 1 out of 15 may show quite well and appeal to me...

Hard to not babysit this auction listing...

Be cool, be cool, man. It's doing great right now. Looks like you did some research as to who might be interested and called them in I'm guessing? Got a bid out of it! BaT loves complete, perfect vehicles. BaT loves engaged sellers. Everything...

It looks great. Gives me motivation to work on mine

We are live-- https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-toyota-land-cruiser-fj40-148/

What an incredible example

The BAT listing is approved. I’ll have a go live date as next step. Pic for because….

Thanks, I appreciate the compliments. There are over 500 pics in the gallery right now as well as an 80mph pull down the hwy. Not sure if they’ll keep all of them or not for the final listing. I’ll link my pics from last fall, the build album and...

I can’t disagree with you @White Stripe. There are a few well versed buyers out there and these folks are trolling the shallow and deep waters. This 40 is for a serious discriminating buyer/collector. A museum piece…. My experience has...

I couldn't get it to work either

Link not working

There’s a thread on here,….. somewhere I did over 20 years ago of FJ40”s spotting 333x950x15’s Yes if installed on stock wheels the only thing that rubs is the LF tire on the drag link at full turn…. hurts nothing.

Put pictures of them installed when you get them put on. Will these work with stock suspension?

I've been procrastinating on this repair for a while now, partly because I hate doing things twice. When I bought this 40, it had a nasty tear in the right fender. I hammered it back into shape and then welded it up, but unfortunately I got a...

Hallelujah my engine vibration is fixed! The combo of the slightly different design (in my opinion much better). Of the Cruiser Solutions bracket, and a slightly longer belt have it lined up and smooth as butter. What a relief. Winch plate should...
