Let’s find this truck a home. I would prefer to find a good loving home for this truck. I will eventually go to BaT if I’m unsuccessful. The truck is gorgeous. That’s partially why I never drive it - I also hardly leave the farm. I will update the miles tomorrow but it’s got somewhere around 350 miles on the build.
I lose a lot of money at $100,000. I know the market is what it is. Make me an offer. I’ll cover enclosed shipping to your door.

You’re killing me John! I would love to buy this truck back. I have a very Loving Home! Unfortunately, $100,000.00 is out of my budget though. I wish it wasn’t. It would be in my garage again! This is the one Land Cruiser I was building to keep.
No joke everyone. This is the cleanest 100% rust free FJ40 you will ever see. I have a ton of photos of it during the restoration process for anyone wanting to see them. Nolen did an incredible job finishing up the drivetrain, interior, and other upgrades he preformed. He is the best hands down! Great work and even better character! This truck is better than any FJ Company truck without a doubt!
Thanks Gabe. This truck is balls simple too.
It’s my favorite I’ve ever built. Drives perfect. So quiet.
What I can afford and what you deem as reasonable is not that close I’m sure. Unless you are feeling very charitable which I will toss you a figure. Otherwise I would never insult you with an offer my friend. I have a good idea of what you have invested in it.

In the meantime let’s see that top installed!
If it’s not going on for some reason I’d love to snag it.

Looking thru the pictures of that truck reminds me just how many guys like me are sitting here wishing they could afford that truck or a build of that quality. Incredible truck, I will never afford such a rig but I’m sure glad Tilda Bogue exists and wngrog shares it with us!
Thank you!
A few pics to show how clean this truck is. I finished the bottom just like the top. All nos parts that were available are on this truck. Even the rear tailgate is NOS Toyota. No expenses were spared on this FJ40.

Not only my birth year, but my birth month. It's aged better than me. So tempting...
I did a little research on Data plates as I am in need of one also, these should be pop riveted on, not screwed on. Police will give you issues with this install method as they could be moved from rig to rig. This is only what I found, I could be completely wrong. Beautiful rig!

I hit the lotto, I'd be interested. But first to Porsche and then Ferrari.
Gee drilling out a pop rivet is almost as easy as unscrewing a screw IMHO.
Absolutely Awesome.

The owner is an attorney, I would imagine he doesn't care about your research on this subject. Perhaps you could start a thread on this yourself to educate anyone who does? Leave this build thread as a stand alone testament to build quality and attention to detail.

They look a lot like 93319-14010 which is way cooler then some Harbor freight rivet
