The time has come for me to move my 1970 FJ-40 and my 1955 Jeep CJ out of my ex-house before my ex-wife decides to make them my ex-trucks.
Need to have them winched-out and flatbedded from Stafford up the road to Gateway outdoor storage in Woodbridge.
Anyone have a preferred tow company...
Hey, I looked at this one back when it was all in pieces and getting no love...good to see she's back on the road and looking so clean.
Bump for a fine looking old gal.
Need a solid FJ62 lower tailgate (preferably in BEIGE--not "gold"--I'm SUCH a noob...). Mine has been attacked by the rust monster...
I'm located in Northern VA.

Gary,
The axles (and other goodies) from this truck made it home Saturday afternoon.

I just called there to ask about some...
I've started prepping for blasting/stripping the old finish off my '70 FJ40, and I'm finding the usual small spots of bondo, a bit of rust (not TOO much), a couple of welded patches/plugs...
I'm also finding this phenomenon: topcoat of Spring Green T1028, red primer underneath, thick (1-2mm)...
Sam,
This is a "J-truck"--earlier Jeep pickups (60s-70s) were known as Gladiators but that was dropped for the J-series in later years.
Overall, looks pretty good for the year and make/model. If it drives strong and the dump bed works well, and you won't have to spend a ton of money to get...
This was a pretty poor example of the way this forum is supposed to work in my opinion.
Personal comments, accusations of misrepresentation, overediting/deleting by the seller....good grief. Too many boards out there that go to pot because of this kind of thing. BTW, as an example, the...
In 1982, driving from my college buddy's house in Ocala back up to UF in Gainesville, I heard a low rumble from above and behind that got louder and LOUDER...scared the poop out of me as the rearview mirror was empty...
after about 45 seconds of this, a shadow passes overhead, I look up...
