Moving to New Orleans in a few months, after much thought and deliberation Ive decided to sell the 40 known to me for the last 2+ years as "Jane" I can rehash info here...or you can slide over to the 40s thread I updated somewhat religiously.
Put a Trollhole Soft top and Real Steel Bows on her...
Hoping it can stay in ONSC, and I don't have to sell it..we will see. I'm afraid I'd cry hysterically to see her go. I also can't imagine getting four vehicles down to NOLA.
1974 FJ40, known around these parts as MeJane. We are moving to NOLA next year and I think that I'll let her go..there's just never enough time. Check for a long thread in the 40 tech section by my username and you can see what's been done. Also have a couple of YouTube videos under the name...
Yes we will talk Kenny! The schools in St Tammany parish rate the best in the state and according to test scores, better than the school she goes to here.
So its a huge plus, and its on the " mainland" across Ponchartrain from NOLA.
Yeah, sounds crazy right? We were talking about moving down there in 4 years after the kid finished school...while we were there in February we talked to a few business owners and homeowners quite a bit about the challenges of living in such a place, and we still managed to love it.

Hi guys! My name is Charity..2 year member currently of ONSC . .( North Carolina) The huz is retired Navy and he helped me get "Jane" my 74FJ40 up and running.
Any who, long story short, Walmart recently decided to build a supercenter right up to our property here. We have friends in NOLA, and...
I got the top from trollhole , bows from real steel. Thanks for the compliments, the huz definitely made it easier to assemble, it was definitely a two person job!
Spector Bikini top and windshield channel, used less than a year.. $80
Top comes down behind factory rollback in a pickup truck style..sorry no better pic..I think spector still sells them..it's gray.
Thanks Marshall! The soft top was finally installed today and it fit the real steel bows like a glove! Fantastic timing on the top, got it 8 days after I ordered it. You are the man!
Noted, will do! and thanks for the compliment! High marks coming from this group o guys. The huz was not keen on a black top, but he had to admit when we were done today , jane is badass. I feel like Ive arrived. . Its kinda weird. I guess Im weird.
Question, the saran wrap look on the...
Well, ITS DONE!
The windshield channel proved to be the only PITA this particular piece is aluminum and will conform to the windshield once you attach it- Trollholes soft top fit like a glove and was super easy to fit to the bows. I edited my post above explaining which sections of the soft top...
