Thanks, man. Those were a bunch of bidders that took an FJCO truck to 270k.

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...

Hard to not babysit this auction listing...

Only took 2 weeks.

The FJ40 works better than the F150 for wiggling the trailer back into it's hidy hole.

Four days in Death Valley

I’m really excited to get my hands on it again.

@Jdc1 you’ll get to check it out up-close! 😄

This seat adapter I had made really knocked me out this weekend. I was trying to be 101% sure it was perfect and bolted the seat to it 5 or 6 times to triple check the alignment to center and lifted the seat in and out over a dozen times. I...

Just found out the later 2f(fj60) water pump was discontinued by Aisin. Just like the mid 70s disc/drum master. Early 40 fuel tank is NLa, 61040 heads are getting pretty rare……

Switched intakes and headers and now I have a seal. Smoke machine is clutch. Engine is smooth as silk now. 🙏

Its getting harder and harder to turn a profit on a 40 flip. Parts are starting to get a little tougher to source and definitely more expensive.

I think there’s a lot of flippers, and very few who put their heart and soul into them before they flip them. Like the one you posted, very likely lipstick on a pig. Just my newb-ish observations.

Sent you a dm. Curious as to what the part is you need, I have some of that stuff in IN.

Well, now I’m committed. Cleaning up the frame and corners of the cowl. Need to bring my welder over and fab up some sheet metal patches. Going to replace the rear cross member. Should do the RMS while I have access. Maybe while the tub is at...

More wiring today. The Dakota digital dash is connected, only one or two more wires to run and I will plug it back in the dash. I used the old cluster plug for a source of the wires I needed for the control box. The truck does turn over but I...

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...

Thank you.

I don't spend any time on BAT because I don't have the space, budget, or time for another car. The thing that surprises me is the number of 40/45s that are on sale. Reading the descriptions, many have been owned less that 2 years. Are these guys...

PM me if you need some help with yours.

Are you volunteering to take mine on and make it look just like yours?! :). I am originally from the Cleveland area….still have family there.

Akron isn’t too far from. Indiana….

It got the job done and THAT is what came in that Craftsman metric tap and die set in 1994. I could have used the new set I bought last year but, first in, first out. FIFO. It’s an odd set, this was made to support 4 different sized taps...

@COLtoUSAFJ40 WELCOME! you have come to the right place…there is a collection of people here who could teach Toyota a few things about Land Cruisers from the ‘60’s -‘80’s. YOU'RE GONNA LOVE IT! I was told when I joined MUD. “pictures or it...

Thank you, the extended timeframe was a little more budget and sanity friendly. Alot of the parts can be found used in clean condition, you just need to know where to look. Mud Classified, Marks Offroad, Classic Cruisers , Cruiser Corp...
