I recently bought a July '72 FJ40 that has some non-OEM front bench seats which I'm looking to replace. I'm in need of both a driver's seat and also a passenger seat, which I would prefer as the split bench style. I'm located in Los Angeles, CA but am willing to drive about 1 day out to collect...

Wow, really cool to finally see some more photos of this mystery rig. It has been listed and re-listed countless times in the past 6 months with the same subset of bad photos. Thanks for sharing these. Almost makes me regret not going to see it myself, although the price is only now reaching a...

I'm now marking this thread as sold, as I've bought a rig! 1972, won it on Bring A Trailer being sold by Mohr Imports out of Monterey, CA. I flew in to pick it up, and drove it back home 380 miles via every scenic backroad I could find. Truck performed perfectly and has set a fantastic...

Man, wish I could afford this one. Just perfect.

Bump. Still searching! :)

Are you me? Haha I'm in the exact same boat. Although slightly older (35), I've always dreamt of owning one, been looking on and off for the last few years, DID give up at one point and bought something else, but am now back on the hunt and even more eager than ever. I also suffer from the same...

I was surprised to see this truck on BaT as I swear it was for sale locally for a while on a couple sites such as classics.autotrader.com. I can't say for sure it was the same truck (especially since autotrader seems to be down at the moment), or why it didn't sell, but when I saw this one come...

Wow, interesting. That truck is back up for sale right now in Costa Mesa. I went and drove it a couple weeks ago actually, almost bought it. I liked the idea of the later gear with the early body style, but ended up feeling it's not quite the one for me. Before I went to see it I did not know...

Just a heads up this truck has been listed for sale in San Francisco for the last month at under $20k. They have been lowering the price over time, was $18,990 for a while, currently listed at $17,990. Toyota FJ40 - cars & trucks - by owner - vehicle automotive sale -...

Hello! I had posted here previously, but my quest for the right truck has expanded a bit so I've decided to delete the old post and recreate it here. I live in Santa Monica, CA and am searching for a strong running FJ40 ideally in the Southern California region or on the west coast in general...

Thanks woody! Noted in terms of reporting my own post.

Hello! I am searching for my perfect FJ40 and have received a good response from the Wanted ad I currently have posted, however my criteria and budget have changed over time. I don't seem to have the option to edit my post anymore, however. I would like to be able to edit both the body AND title...

Here are a couple of my father's. I unfortunately don't have a huge amount of info as he passed away when I was young, but the first one I know was taken in 1975 and that this was his first vehicle. I don't know what year the second one was taken, or if that's even the same truck or not. I've...

ohhh man I wish this one were a little closer to my neck of the woods!

Yeah that '69 is REALLY cool as well! Thanks very much for the info and these posts, it's much appreciated. That '76 you mentioned is darn nice as well, thanks for that. Yellow especially being one of my top picks. I wish I felt more confident looking at smog vehicles in CA. Currently...
