Thanks for everyone's interest and support--she went to a great home in the IH8Mud family!

It's currently pending sale--will update the listing when the sale is finalized. Thanks so much for your interest. 👍

The roll bar is bolted in. I do have a video of me n my buds taking her out to get dinner the other night—will dig it up 👍 Thanks, love it—only letting it go to make room for an off-road trailer for the Rubicon….gotta make sacrifices somewhere I guess 😝

I actually wish I knew more of the history of the vehicle—that is, after all, part of the fun of owning these vintage rigs. I acquired it from a guy who had just traded a Scrambler for it, and essentially told me what he knew from the previous owner, who had it for a while and lived in San...

Thanks! Honestly sad to see her go, and just want to put her into someone’s hands who appreciates the quirks of this particular vintage vehicle. It had the lift on it when I bought it—I’ve otherwise just tried to keep it as original as it came. It’s just so fun—someone else will have a blast...

This 1971 FJ40 is a beast of a machine with wonderful vintage details intact, and perfect for someone who wants a head-turning rig to cruise around town and hit the trails. I'm not using her as much as I should, so I feel she should go to someone who will appreciate her and keep her on the...

Oh hey! You turned me on to the idea that the truck may be fashion green rather than spring green….and honestly I still can’t tell! Both are cool colors….I guess if I list the vehicle, I want the color to be accurate because it does really matter to some folks. Cool that you have a ‘71 Spring...

Hi guys—I’m sure this has been discussed before, but search can’t find what I’m looking for—can I find a color code stamp somewhere on a 1971 FJ40? I found the VIN badge in the driver’s door well and the model badge in the engine bay, but neither seems to have any code except engine info. I...

You know what? I stand corrected…for whatever reason, looking at the color cards to make a best guess for the name of the original color (what’s in the engine bay), the closest I could find was spring green—but looking at examples of Fashion Green on the vehicles themselves, I do think that’s...

Just saw you’re in Maine—bit of a hike from my neck of the woods 😬

I’ll be listing my 1971 FJ40, spring green. Only minor surface rust. Original F1 engine, runs well. Mostly original interior except different jump seats to fit a custom full roll bar. The suspension could use work—it’s a spring-over conversion that could be reverted back to original (would...
