Hi there, I have a 78 40 that has a thread on here and my dad recently traded his motorcycle for this 1970 Fj40. It runs and drives but needs some work. We picked it up in Idaho and hauled it back to Utah. We are still trying to figure out everything thats done to it. So far from what we can tell the driver side rear quarter panel has been smushed at some point and poorly repaired. It has an auxilary fuel tank setup that we are not sure even works, a rough country lift that rides stiff, awful front seats and a pretty neat rear bench. If any one has any insight into anything else done that we havent noticed please let me know. We will basically be cleaning it up and enjoying driving it.
Here are some pictures.
Where it was sitting in Idaho when we got there to pick it up. Fired right up and drove itself onto the trailer. We got a 2nd set of bare doors, the rear swingout, a factory skid plate, cloth doors, bikini top and a set of fender flares with it.
On the trailer.
First thing was to remove the awful bra.
Motor with Weber carb. Runs really good.
Life is very stiff. Would changing it out for nicer 2.5" leafs help any?
Interior, Would this originally of had a bench seat in it?
Rear bench. I think its a Conn-Ferr bench. Storage under it front and rear.
Aux fuel tank
Driver side has a lot of bondo. We will be taking it off and fixing the corner correctly.
The wheels will also be repainted soon, not big fans of the punisher logos.
Any insight from people more knowledgeable than us would be greatly appreciated!! I will keep updating this with pictures as we go along getting this back on the road.
