Hey guys, I know none of y'all know me because I've been MIA for quite a while but I'm actually a charter member of CLC and I'm finally admitting that I have too many projects. The 1970 FJ40 that I started and then mothballed about 15 years ago needs to get out of my garage. I got the "frame"...

Was that the black one or the red one that you mentioned in recent posts? Seems like you mentioned a couple of them recently, one black and one red. There are a couple of pretty nice original trucks on Ebay right now, one in Nashville and one in Dallas, both ending in 3-4 days but I thought I...

The husband of someone on our staff is in the market for a 40 (grew up with one) and noticed a couple of them for sale parked on the side of Pearson Rd in Pearl. Anybody know anything about them? Anybody have a 40 for sale?

I have some more parts available to anyone who has a need. One pair of late model doors. They have some rust at the bottom but if you want a pair to cut up into half doors they're suitable for trail doors. One rear axle housing from my '70 that has been cleaned and sandblasted. If you want...

Jeff, I'm trying to clean up before Christmas. Can you pick up the Tcase any time this week?

Have you really got a troopy? How about send me some pics of that?

Actually I have 2 tops and I need to decide which one I'm keeping for my truck. Are you in a hurry? If not I'll try to make a decision in the near future and send you a picture of the one I don't need.

Parts 4sp is out of the 79. The splines on the main shaft are trashed because the PO didn't tighten the nut on the end of the shaft. It's been sitting outside foe a while and probably has water in it so the case may be the only part you can count on. Jeff gets the Tcase Clutchee gets the...

I have one that I'll give you but it needs a new rain gutter. Fiberglass is in good shape.

I've got some parts that I need to give away or send to the dumpster. They are available to anyone who will come and get them. I have an early front axle that is complete from hub to hub including what I suppose are factory locking hubs. I have a 3-speed transfer case that should be in good...

I finally took the plunge and listed the 79 on Ebay. You guys tell all your rich friends in the other Landcruiser Clubs to take a look. If it meets the reserve I'll donate $100 for the New Year's party. If you want to see the whole story on this truck check out the albums on my Facebook (look up...

I'm selling because I've got more projects than I have space and time. This 79 project interrupted a 70 FJ40 restoration so I'll move back to that project now and then hopefully on to a 67 Shelby clone (can't afford the real thing and would be scared to drive it if I could). Be sure and tell all...

I have spent the last 2 years doing a frame-off restoration on this cruiser. I went to great lengths to be sure that rust will never be a problem including stainless hardware on all the body parts that are exposed to weather. I used bed liner to protect all of the paint-to-paint body connections...

He started in the oil business but that's not all he's involved in by any means. Jackson needs some help alright but the lakes project isn't going to solve their problems. If city leadership isn't ready to get serious about crime they will have to build a fence around the two lakes to make it a...

No I didn't. The PO claimed to have rebuilt the motor after buying the truck with the motor in pieces. I guess he might have had the manifolds honed but I wouldn't count on it.
