Hello all, I'm the new owner of this 1961, and thought I would introduce myself. I'm relatively new to cruisers, having spent too much time and money on the J**P side before I made the switch. I have a 67 FJ40 with original paint that is getting a slow resurrection. A built 100 series for trail duties, camping, etc. Having this truck to drive this summer will help me be patient with the other 40 and really do it right.
I am very excited to get this truck and give her a good home. I couldn't believe it was still for sale when I saw the thread and the ad. I got on the phone with Jack and now she's headed my way. I'm amazed at the before and after state of this rig, am indebted to Jack for making it happen, and am happy to be able to give her a warm, indoor, salt free home on the east coast.
Like Jack, I'm not a purist and am just happy to see the truck back on the road. She will be driven in the summer, will get some mild Vermont wheeling and relic runs to soothe her soul, and will get well deserved winter naps under a snow covered roof in New Hampshire.
I'll thank everyone in advance for any help and guidance. The community here on Mud is unparalleled, and appreciated.
good luck with the sale.
