Back in 1980 I picked up a brandspankin new fj40 from the dealership. I didn't even have a drivers license. My mother followed me home. Me and my old man bought that fj40 and he was away working when it came in. We went all over in that thing. Canada every year, drove it for my senior day of high school, deer hunted in it,, my girlfriend even went wheelin with me in it..she's now my wife. Great times. We painted it from the mustard yellow to olive drab. The vehicle was part of us..Well it Sat next to the wood pile and rusted out with 30,000 miles on it. My old man gave it to a friend who thought it was cool. 2018. My buddy called me and said, hey i saw your old land cruiser. Yeah right i says. A guy was pulling it otta a garage so I went to see. I got tears in my eyes. Still had the gun rack I bolted to the roll bar. 49,000 miles,body and frame rusted out. started it up but carb was gummed. Well she's mine again forever this time.
