Thanks Eric, I wish I had bought one sooner, the wife is the lucky one, I am still working on my 40 which will have a diesel 3B or I will just sell it. Maybe she will let me drive this one in the meantime.

Also I still have my Fj40.
I was worried about...
I have been looking for a BJ70 to buy for a while.
There might be chance on this one.
I would appreciate any feed back. Actually if all goes well , I plan to buy it for the wife (with 4 kids) as a daily driver for about a year , then keep it for myself and buy her somthing else.
I am not really...
