Well - I'm gonna start my rebuild ! ! ! . . . (it's been years. And then more than that years). Story goes, I've been working overly diligently at UPS as of late (for the last slew of months) to help make ends meet (and to keep my head facing forward). And have had ZERO time for anything else...

As mentioned above, I would ditch the idea of the light beige as it would definitely be a continuous headache issue to keep anyway clean. It would NEVER remain clean. Plus, your shade of beige literally clashes with your shade of charcoal gray. The light beige & charcoal gray would take away...

I realize has little or nothing to do with Yotas, let alone 40's, but I snapped these a few years ago. I've tons & tons of pics like this (and of really attractive women too). Lots of magazine covers. ... All I need now is a pretty pic of my 40 put back together !!! ... Actually, that's ALL I...

@4Cruisers - that's quite funny what you posted. ... Caught my attention. ... I so luv it !! ~Marc

Soooo. ... To earn some needed side money that I will use in part to directly help jump-start the rebuild of my 1979 FJ40 - I'm helping UPS to deliver packages within a prestigious residential country club via my own car ... How Coolio Is That !! ... ;) ~Skydogger

This was very helpful to me. I thank you for your words, @Bob Morazes & @PAToyota. ~Marc

Hello : Am Needing HELP with Home Electricity : How easy or how complicated will it be to wire for & install a 240V outlet (adjacent to our home's garage fusebox - intended for that of a 240V, 15A air compressor) ?? Thanks !! ~Marc

An attractive vehicle you now have.

Okay. I'll buy it. Thanks !

Hey @wngrog : thanks for chiming-in. That I learn for myself, I'm interested in what you say above. Not to begin any type debate, which I ask not to parkake, it's been my long surmise that BFG All-Terrain tires in the 33x10.5x15 size can not fit or be physically or safely mounted upon the 5.5"...

Regarding the 33x10.5 tires on the stock steelies : I've gathered the common, BFG AT's do not or can not work, which is likely the case for most of the other tires, from the other companies, that same size. To combat this, some here have had the 5.5" stock steelies widened, via having them cut...

Yours is one month older than mine, and same color mine originally was. With your 2.5" HFS lift, my take would be to put a set of five 33x10.5 BFG AT's on her - and be done with it. ~Skydogger

My baby has been getting a little bit better than 8 minutes flat. After removing the carbon fiber bush guard bumper, which wasn't OEM, I was able to shave off another full minute. The aftermarket Recaro racing seats nicely help with the increased G-force produced from that less weight. :cool:

I can see your point on that. A valid point.
