One of my best friends has lives full time just south of Rosarito. He's pretty immersed in the culture, so not like he's an isolationist and home body. For any one is doesn't know, Tijuana is just over the border, and Rosarito is 15-20 min south of there. All in Bout 35-40 min south of...

Absolutely! I'm a Chevrolet man historically but I love them all. Pretty crazy, I had a silver Camaro with black rally stripes up until a few years ago. Love the 70, great and arguably best year of Chevelle.

I probably insulted both unintentionally.😁

Lol. By dog, I meant my FJ. Im sure it's completely worthy. I just wasn't sure of the level of terrain/challenges to expect.

What type of rig is required. Any reason my dog wouldn't be good for this hunt?? Id jerk my 74 off the "For Sale" list in a cold second to make this run with my youngest and oldest boys (25 and 12). Also have a best friend thats lives in Rosarito that could provide local insights and...

I specifically DIDN'T CLEAN the engine bay. My whole point was to leave the history of essentially non-use. Don't you watch Fast n Loud?? lol. Ya leave a barn find in as found condition. I agree with ya tho. Has taken some discipline not to clean it up. Would take maybe an hour if that.

Appreciate the feedback Workingdog. So in your (or anyone's) opinion....would it be worth the effort from an investment standpoint to return it to stock form? Is it pretty much just a motor and transmission cost and some labor, or did the conversion require modification that can't easily be...

I can't speak between the two drive trains as I've never driven a factory original, I'd love to tho. I can understand a purists perspective. I was drawn to it was the level of attention to detail when built years ago. The V8 has good power without a bunch of hot rod stuff which would...

Yes. 26K. And thanks EvanD, pics don't do it justice. I presumed Cody was simply requesting price clarification. I posted a ton of pics of it several months ago on an earlier post if that is still accessible. Just double checked... a large lot of pics are in my media and has much better pics.

Nice Catch, appreciated.

Long Post. Ask is 26K. Will do my best to paint an detailed picture. Sorry if any redundancy. Written this over a few episodes. Up for sale. Honest and I believe rust free '74 FJ. Very nice truck. Paint is likely 30+ years old. No slight of hand bondo tricks. Original factory original...

Yep... on the things to do list for sure!

Score! Looks like a full complement in the original spot. Thanks for the heads up. Probably would have run into them soon enough, but cool to awesome to know they are there. So am I correct to assume the bottle jack is the correct original as well??

Good to know, thank you. The next time I have a chance, I'll look under the passenger side jump seat. I have enough pics I took recently, I will look at those as well in the mean time.

No unfortunately. I'm going to hit up the previous owner. Would love to get the rest of the Jack equipment and the original radio. Is there anywhere else on the truck the rest of the jack pieces might be stashed???
