Ugh, I miss my old 74'...Yours looks great...just enough of a project, but still nice..:-). I'm knee deep in a 73' Bavaria resto, but I'm missing my fj so much... I wish I could snag this baby!
Thanks lambcrusher! That's what I was hoping...the exchange with other models. I'm completely happy to adjust certain parts to fit. As long as there are are options for non original rubber, the other stuff isn't too tough...:-). Also, yes, I hoping to have some family fun in it, too..:-) looking...
Cool, thanks! Yeah, the more I'm looking, the more it seems like the rubber for these pigs is fantastically expensive...like over $2k for the whole truck...good gravy..
Hi all, it's been a while since my 40 got totaled by some kid in a Porsche, but I'm back and looking at getting a 55, since I have two kids now...:-). My big question is how available parts are (specifically weatherstripping) for the 55? I noticed sor has discontinued most 55 parts and I'm a...
Very nice job! Man, I've been lurking here again lately, it's been a few years since my beautiful 74' got totaled...I just restored an old BMW, but, damn, I miss my FJ!!! Wish I could buy this one and be done with it! :-)

Damn....I've been without my FJ for several years now...(wrecked by a kid in a porsche) and I finished my old bmw project...and I'm in Reseda...damn...I want, I want...if it hangs on for a little bit, I'll start working on my wife...;-)

HI everybody....My FJ was totalled by some stupid kid a couple years ago and I guess it's time to let go of the few remaining parts I've collected..
I won't be shipping anything, so SoCal locals would be great! Thanks! Please let me know if I'm offensive with prices, I feel like it's all...
I may well be interested. I'll find out in a few days what the verdict is and let you know... hopefully, insurance just rebuilds my baby! Thanks for the heads up on the frame!
Yeah, no injuries...he had airbags, and I had....well, an FJ..;-). I was sitting still and he spun and threw my truck 20 feet! That's a hell of an impact from a Porsche to an almost 2 1/2 ton truck!
It looks to have bent the front of the frame and sheared the front left spring hanger right off...
December 74' here... Welcome. Mine was just hit by a speeding 911....waiting to hear if the insurance is going to total her, but she will rise again, regardless of what they say. I feel like I've lost one of my testicles...
74', best year. Love my truck.
I have the Man a Fre 2.5" lift and switched to Bilsteins, which helped a lot, then I finally removed a leaf from the rear springs and I'm very happy! They settled down nicely after that. Oh, and shackle angle doesn't affect ride quality, it just puts you in the position for reversing a...
