***Sold*** I am listing this truck for a friend who does not spend any time on forums. The owner (Robert) is a Toyota Master tech and has gone through just about everything on his truck to make sure it is in good working order. Please see his contact information below for more information. Robert has worked on my FJ40's for many years and they certainly would not be in as good running condition as they are if it was not for him...

Up for sale is a 1970 FJ40 with approximately 5000 miles on the truck since the rebuild. This FJ40 is mechanically sound and I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere!

This truck is extremely well built and is a blast to drive...sorry to see Robert sell it.
 
How does it drive on the highway? Or is strictly an off-road vehicle? Any photos of the hard top? Was the body taken to bare metal before painting?

I have driven this truck for about 30 miles on the highway and it drove great. It has a heck of a lot more power than my 2F... It was driven the 450 miles roundtrip to Surf-N-Turf with no issues. I understand from Robert that your questions were answered through his email...

Please contact Robert at ................................... with any questions. Thanks!

Weekend bump for a very well built FJ40! I actually owned the sellers previous 40, (the sister FJ40 - to be exact) and can vouch for the quality of Robert's work! Chris

(note: the seller has added a HFS front bumper & Warn 8274 since the pictures were taken)
