I bought it.

Jack- welcome to Mud. I’ve spoken to your mom about this truck, would be. ore than happy to help you develop a plan. Jesse

I've driven past this 40 for a few years and one day on a furniture delivery, My son and I decided to stop and ask about it. It was definitely off the beaten path but seen from the road. Turns out it lived most of it's life in Vail, Colorado...

1962 FJ40. The rail is one piece and there is a ~3/4 inch gap at the top door frame.

Follow the gap between the whole opening and the door. Door looks low. The gap in the top where it angles in is wider. Raising the door with hinge adjustment could help that. The bolt and nut where the top mets the outer windshield should be a...

Per the measurements he sent me. The length from the screw to the end is 29.5”. The parts I have also measure that, but I measured from the very end, where the bracket attaches to the top, One inch difference. The ones I have will work, but I...

I’ve got a few minor updates for y’all. Firstly, I got the cable controls sorted for the 5687. I just need to fabricate a bracket for the switch, and the winch will be fully functional. I don’t know that I’ll ever really use the winch at all, but...

This is the beginning of my thread for my 3/1977 FJ40 named “Larry the LandCruiser”. This first post is going to be a bit lengthy as I go into a bit of the background.I’ve included some pictures of my grandfather washing Larry in North Carolina...

Got some cutting done yesterday, thanks Darwink

Hey everyone, as the title says just recently bought a 75 FJ40. It needs some work and new parts, but it’s slowly coming along. Figured I’d start a thread of the truck and work.

IT’S ALIVE! I don’t have any documentary proof, but yesterday I pulled the 40 out of the garage and drove it around the block a couple of times! It ran pretty well, even though I have not fully timed it. The gearbox is very notchy, but...

Interested in the red pair. Shipping quote to my shop, commercial address 91502 please.

I have two sets. They are from different years but look the same. So I assume not much changed for the door bows. They came attached to the two tops and I learned pretty good how to remove them. The red pair looks to be original color and the...

That one looks great! I didn’t know the 1972 model had a locking gas cap door. Two years ago I got the same wheels, tires & hubcaps. I had mine powder coated in light grey.

Documenting an 11/72 FJ40 refresh. It’s been my wife’s car for the last 17 years. We drove away in it when we got married, etc. Got lots of sentimental value. Little has been done other than basic maintenance since she got it. Currently sits...

Mine began its life as a February 1974, now it includes pieces of 1970, 1971, 1975……
