Great! DM sent.

Still available?

Found this really cool Pearl beer can opener in my previous FJ40.

I'm happy to share the STL file for others that may already have a 3D printer or know someone who does. Or, I'm open to printing and finishing some for a reasonable charge. Each one takes right at 1 hour to print on my machine.

Here you go! I modeled a replacement knob and printed it using some gray ABS filament I had laying around. There are a few imperfections but they make it look like it's been on the truck for 40 years. For a first attempt, I'm pretty please with the results.

Mine is broken as well on my FJ40. I have a 3D printer and a spool of medium/charcoal gray ABS that should work well for this. I'll sketch something up, do a test print, and report back results.

Selling the roof rack that cane with my FJ40. Not quite as heavy/beefy as ARB but looks pretty solid and is purpose-built for FJ40. I took it off so my cruiser fits in my garage. Here’s my CL ad.... Roof Rack for Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser If you drive your FJ40 over I’m happy to help install...

Aaron (@Riverrunner), I have already explained the situation and apologized for what happened. I even offered to pay you the cancellation fee that I would have had to pay with the other transport company as a goodwill gesture for your time and attention. As I said, I contacted you late Friday...

Thanks for the tip @FJ40 MATT! I called Aaron earlier today and within 20 minutes he had a workable plan in place. He's working on getting the FJ40 to Denver then on another carrier down to Georgetown TX. It's always nice working with fellow Land Cruiser owners. Thanks again!

Hello! I recently bought a 1977 FJ40 that I need to move from the seller's residence in Shell, Wyoming (82441) to Georgetown, Texas (78628). I have a broker that has been searching for a carrier for a week now with no success. Shell is a small town and a bit remote but the roads are good...

I hope whoever the new owner is keeps those sweet stripes.

Yeah, noticed that too. Thought it might be large tires with no lift causing it to look odd. With so many frankencruisers these days you never know.

I’ve seen this color now on several FJ40s (online) over the years but haven’t figured out the color code. Most recently this one popped up on eBay... I found “81939 Firefly Yellow” on a color chart here on Mud but not sure if it’s the same. Maybe a non-US 40 color? Beige with weird lighting?

OME heavy on LT305/70 R16 (33"h x ~12"w) BFG Mud-Terrain T/A KM2s. Method wheels. The PO spec'd everything. The heavy lift is overkill for me. I'm not carrying much extra weight. Ride is somewhat harsh, esp with MT tires.

Yeah, hard to see in the pic. They are LT305/70 R16 (33"h x ~12"w) BFG Mud-Terrain T/A KM2s.
