    New to MUD: My 1970 FJ40 project

    congrats Dex and welcome to Mud ... looks like you found a decent 40 ... they all need work and ongoing maintenance, after all the newest (in NA anyway) is over 30 years old ... you have a good plan i.e. fixing and the ability to use it ... they're made to drive ... good luck :cheers:

    The $5000 Build thread

    after completing the 1st 40, and the time/work you put into it, the 2nd must be a piece of cake ... your boys will remember your efforts forever ... your 40 with the soft top brings back memories ... I drove my Jeep CJ all year round, for yrs, with a soft top and soft doors but its warmer here...

    Looking at a 40, have questions

    like others have said, its worth something especially if the frame is okay and it runs ... maybe $250-350 ... plenty have bought a 40 for a lot more $ that appears good and ended up stripping it down to the frame cuz of hidden rust etc ... you'd be basically starting with a frame and axles ...

    Greetings from Navajo Nation

    welcome to Mud ... your 40 holds its age well ... love the patina on the hood ... plenty of threads here re fixing that rear sill ... can be fixed with a 2x2 square steel tube and will never rot out again ... can weld in a piece to fix the rust above the sill ... but, you have the right idea...

    Paint, POR-15, or Powder Coat

    did the POR15 thing on my 40 ... have heard good things about RustBullet ... I religously do the maintenance thing every yr i.e. wire brush and touchup with POR15 on the FJC and the 40 ... it has paid off ...

    Southern FJ40 moved to Mich - how to deal with winter & rust?

    I don't even whisper salt/brine around my 40 ... there is nothing that will stop it from seeping into the seams, nooks, etc. Easy to say park it when you have a need for yours, but that is the only solution ... on the other hand, I religously spray my 9yr old FJC underneath every year with...

    So how bad is it? (Frame rot)

    I agree with having it thoroughly checked out before writing the frame off per se ... if you have to, and are up to the task (work and financially), do a frame off ... the benefit is you'll have a rebuilt 40, the downside is time/cost ... a faster alternative is find a truck with a good...
