Im looking at a 1969 fj 40 owner says its stock with 81,000 original miles... but it has a roll bar? i didnt think these came out till '72/73?? thoughts?

No clue. Only 81 K - must not have run good or it would be 181 K. My 72 was a rag top, no sign it had a roll bar.

What are they asking for it? Just curios

I have a stock 1969. NO roll bar was installed by the factory. Also , my rear seats are long compared to the shorter ones used by Toyota for adding a roll bar.

Probably a dealer add on or added by the purchaser very early on. I also would not automatically assume the mileage is wrong. An FJ40 in the 70’s was likely not driven as much or as far as todays 4 runners, tacomas etc. we all tend to poo poo the miles showing on these trucks too quickly.

When you see SAE bolts holding the rollbar to the tub, you will know the seller just didn’t know.
