On Classic 4x4 market's FB page, red with tan soft top: Classic 4x4 Market There are a few FJ60 on the site as well, for those in the market.

Clean, and supposedly rust-free, for auction on Classic 4x4 market: 1979 Toyota pickup

Looks like a decent driver, $10K, in Colorado - not mine: 1985 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60

Yup, post-'75 vehicles are not smog-exempt, so I'm looking more at earlier cars - '73 is ideal. I've noticed a huge support ecosystem in the southern California (Los Angeles) area; I've found a few rigs in my area, but most of them are heavily modified, or left to rot in the open... I'll keep...

I'm still looking for a suitable FJ40, so I conduct daily sweeps of the various dealer and auction websites that frequently list classic 4x4s. I noticed this morning that Classic 4x4 Market will be doing a weekend feature on the FJ40/45 this coming weekend on their Facebook page, and soliciting...

Thank you all very much for your comments and suggestions! I'll have a look at the '78 and get back with my thoughts and we can go from there. If it's an early-enough truck, I may be able to skip CA smog requirements altogether, so that'd be an added draw for an older rig. And thanks for...

Hi Folks, I'm new to the forum, which I joined recently as I plan to buy an "driver"-level FJ40 for a bit of classic offroading fun. I've offroaded in more modern vehicles in the past and present (1990 Isuzu Trooper and 2005 Nissan Frontier), but would like to try something more classic - the...

Seriously? No wonder CL's been stagnant for like forever now.
