Economy sucks. I'd say at this point a 40 is strictly a toy which adds another layer of complications when going to sell them. Funny enough I'm finally in the market for my 1st 40. Been watching marketplace loosely for about a year, there's...

are these still available ? if so I will come pick them up

how much to ship the whole thing to 90232?

I disagree, educated buyers prefer the mechanically dialed in original 40 over the shiny South American turds or domestic restorations with zero documentation. The mostly original well sorted 40 will hold it's value while the turds will come...

I would love to rotate one of mine to “reinvest” it into another project but now is definitely still not the time to sell and expect to recoup your money. I think we hit the market correction and prices will be slow to rise on anything other than...

Prices and demand is definitely down for anything FJ40 that isn’t high end built/restored. Those of us that have good running rigs with lots of $$$ invested in the mechanics but not as much in the shiny stuff will realize less resale value than...

Ive seen parts on marketplace coming back down in price, more being listed and they are staying posted longer, which is nice for me as Im still working on mine (and my collection of things I dont need, but may some day.) Two things happened at...

There are a few that I think are reasonably priced. That have had extensive work done to them. And have upgraded driveline wise but body wise need a little attention. And still no one wants them. Do people still want to pay $5k for said...

I had a 85 mellow yellow 2wd dually 3+3 Aswell wish I would have kept it. Went to lake havasu and got a blower motor installed

I step in s*** quite often haha my first was my daily which is my 97 80 series in emerald jade green. My tow rig is my 2003 7.3 powerstroke she’s the best.

My last rescue in August right down the rd from a realtor buddy. The homeowner didn’t wanna take it with him to the desert and claimed it was to slow 🤣 he wanted to see if go to a good home. Couldn’t say no to this one either 1966 definitely a...

I’m jealous!

Just finished sorting out my A/C system. It’s all back and functioning nice and cold.

Simplest things are sometimes the most satisfying. New back hatch struts

Haven’t done much with the 60 other than daily driving it and washing it. But I just recently sorted out my A/C and re charged it with 134a Freon. Boy does it blow cold. Super happy with the results.

I have one

Edited Today TTT

Oh yeah! That dreaded hill.

Definitely normal. If you look at yours, there should be a clutch plate that attaches to the shaft of the compressor in front of the pulley. The pulley and bearing sit on a boss (that silver cylinder in the center, the threaded post is the...

Held vacuum overnight - ran for another hour or so to get out more moisture, then put two 12oz cans of R134a in this morning. AC is blowing cold, can't get vent temps because "we" broke the other thermometer, but if I had to guess it's in the 40s...

I had ordered the Nachi one from Ebay, but the seller never delivered. They're available from other vendors as well. Pulling vacuum after replacing all of the o-rings throughout and installing the new receiver/dryer, filling with oil (half in...

Pulled the compressor earlier today and replaced the bearing. Bearing didn't seem all that bad, but off the pulley it made a bunch of racket. There was also a good amount of grease and other junk on the clutch and inside the pulley. Original...

Just randomly found this thread. Here is mine last week in Colorado. Edit to add one more..

Not to hijack, but thanks for sharing that Neil. Was great hanging out and hope to see you next year. Pss - thanks for letting me snap your photo on Red Mountain :cool:
