Selling my 1968 Fj40 factory soft top, original body and paint. I have the original soft top doors rough shape and a set of hard doors.
Price - 25,000 obo
The truck is far from perfect, I build this rig 2 years ago in about 42 days. I have done some more work here and there but it has been my daily driver for the last 2 years. Ive driven it out of state a few times over 1,200 miles to wheel and camp then drove it home. On average hwy gets 13.5mpg running 65mph. Truck does 65-70 Absolutely sorted steering and brakes, no bump steer does not hunt the road drives straight as an arrow! The ride is great, the brakes are fantastic it is such a fun truck to drive and gets a lot of attention.
Almost all my parts have come from Cruiser Matt’s Off-road in Winter park FL.
