I just love 40’s. Jeeps suck a lemon. Good looking vehicle. Just smitten by them.

No worries. Thank you. 👍🏻

Do you have a profile picture that illustrates the over-all look of the wheels in your 40?

Noted. I have one of the hubcap rims. Also procured a set of the spoke steels. I’m a fan of the hubcaps.

In looking for these items there are many lift kits in particular. I’ve read that there are inherent issues with lean and pitch issues some have run into. Links or pics would be extremely helpful. As for wheels, since there are many options, I would love input on tire and rims. Fitment issue...

I paid $400 for a ‘69 about 8-10 years ago. Had to let it go. It was in better shape than this one. We don’t like to talk about it. I’ll just say I got more than I paid for. My wife was all smiles when I bought it, but balked when it was going to cost money to restore it. We don’t talk about...

I’m afraid to ask what it goes for. I’m not going to sell it, but with the warning you’ve given, I best remove it and put it somewhere safe.

Nevada, a ways outside of Elko, in the boonies. Nearly every house you passed had some kind of card board or particle board covering at least one window. Mainstreet was a dirt road. So... Not many Zombies to apocalypse out there should it come.

My son and I were looking at a number of 40's. Most wanting crazy money for not well modified or mismatched 40's parts/body. I appreciate that most want to make a buck, but they need to be realistic and not every 40 is a bar of gold. I got a complete original fixer upper for a good price, I...

Eternity of endless days of sitting and rusting on a farm in the middle of nowhere.

Good question. I don't think so. Its missing a number of items, mirrors, badges, handles... The inside is rough and Rusty. Is it a light that sits above the door?

Yes, 1973. FJ40147946.

It runs, poorly, has no exhaust, no breaks, no clutch, you are seeing its best side. Rust in all the good places. Going to need need to replace tub and body pieces. My son is a welder, so bonus. 👍🏻 We have, like many, our work cut out for us.

My son and I rescued this 1973 FJ from the middle of nowhere this last Saturday. We are preparing for a rebuild project, planning and choreographing. We start this weekend. Initially we are just in repair mode and running down needed fixes. I think a frame off might eventually happen. I love...
