1972 Fj55 in original paint with 86000 original miles.
I have done the following since I bought it:
Titled in my name
Sandblasted and painted wheels
Installed some good tires
Fires right up and yard drives
Repaired drivers door hinge
Rust repaired fenders
Repaired rear window to fully operate
Cleaned up wiring terminals and made sure everything works
Found original wiper arms and blades
Needs exhaust and brakes gone through.
I intended on keeping it as a original paint survivor and bought a parts Fj55 And used original metal for rust repair, when I could.
Lots more cool details like original jack and jack hanidles, engine hand crank and has original headlights
Thanks

I am liking that a lot Ben. Nice rig. You would't want to trade for a 71 FJ40 wheeler would you? It isn't rusty but it is SOA. See my sig line.

Man, I want this thing. Nice work. Love the rear license plate holder!

Went to replace temp sensor and even with heat and lube the damn thing snapped off on the head.
Not sure best way to remove remaining piece and not mess up the threads?

trying an easy out or drill and tap.
Hoping for best.

Take your time, go slow, start with a small bit... You should be fine.

How tall is your shop ceiling? I am getting ready to raise mine and I am trying to decide how tall I should go.

Thanks,

Well, it all worked out and I am grateful that I didn’t mess up the head.

It’s all super nice and solid. Everything working on tailgate.

Quick picks until I get it up on lift for exhaust.

Hi. Is this Fj55 still for sale? What is it actual condition? Would love to see a picture. Is it running now? I´m very interested. Thanks.

 

[Ben edwards]

It is running and driving with new exhaust and I am gathering parts for brake renewal.
I plan on selling it after brakes are completed and it’s reliably on the road.
Thanks
