FOR SALE:
May, 1971 FJ40 - 9k.
Located in Half Moon Bay, CA

TBI 350, SM420, 3speed tcase, 4:11's, SOA, SR, PS, 55 rear springs, 100" wheelbase, 37" MTRs, new drivelines, family cage, PRP seats, OBA, hot shower, new electrical, VDO gauges, winch, new-rear aluminum corner protection (not shown), TJ flares ( not shown), etc.

This is a great trail rig and daily driver in one. Very reliable and well taken care of. It was built to drive 4 hours to the Rubicon, wheel, and drive home. Nearly everything has been replaced or rebuilt with brand new parts in the last few years. All the annoying Cruiser items like electrical, gas tank, birfields, rattles, and brakes have been replaced with new parts.
I completed the motor swap and SOA about 2 years ago, using all new high quality parts. I have only used the rig one time in the last year and a half during Rubithon, and the rig was trailered there and back. I have literally not driven it in a year.

The body would like paint, and I have an extra set of body parts to do a complete frame off resto, which I can include in the sale. Paint them and then swap them onto the body. Little downtime would be required to make this a beautiful rig. Includes every body part but an extra tub.

I have a new OEM top from Pakistan on it. Looks great.

I can negotiate on installing the rear disks and possibly the Metaltech fenders (please see below).

some pics. I can email more if interested. I have tons :)
Note that they were taken before I put the TJ flares and rear corner protection on. I also have a new (on a couple months) OEM style top from Ehsan/ Pakistan.

The rig also comes with all the fluids and camping packs I put them and the spares in. You can pick the cruiser up and head straight to the Rubicon- and be set.

cheers!
