I've decide I have to many projects to enjoy this thing the way it deserves. This is an awesome fj40
This thing is solid as a rock and runs strong! It's geared to run down the interstate at 60 mph or in low 4 you can crawl up and over anything. With the front axle moved forward 5 inches and 1 ton power steering, you have no drifting in the tire groves on the road. Very secure to take down the road. There are a few things on the list I haven't gotten to. It needs a new oil pan gasket and a new rear transfer case seal as they are leaking. Also the prior owner installed new motor mounts which lowered the motor a bit. This changed the angle on the rear output from the transfer case and the angle on the rear axle which caused a slight driveline wobble from 30 mph to 36 mph. This is a common problem and easy to fix by cutting off the rear axle spring perches and welding them back on with the correct angle. I need a new welder or else I would have done this already.
Clean title and collector plates (which saves on the sales tax)
I would rate the body 6 out of 10. It does have some minor rust but in far better shape than most I looked at when I bought it. My plan was to restore the body so I was looking for one in the best shape with the least rust when I purchased it.
1973 FJ40 Landcruiser
300HP Small block Chevy 350 CI from a 1973 Chevy ¾ ton truck
Edelbrock performer intake with Edelbrock Carburetor

Lockrite lockers front and back
Skyjacker life kit with Rancho shocks
Braided break lines
BFG KM1 35 X 12.5 with lots of tread left on new bead locker style wheels. (not bead lockers, just the look)
Greasable shackles and bolts
Power steering with all brand new 1 ton GM steering components
Front axle has been move forward 5 inches
Speedo, oil pressure, temp gauges, front and back heaters with fan, wipers, headlights all work perfectly.
Mastercraft bucket seats with 5 point harnesses
Bench seat with storage in the back
Bikini top and half soft doors
Full hardtop and doors condition wise it's a 7 out of 10
CD player with 2 8" subs (I was going to rewire so I have it pulled out but it worked before I pulled it)
I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff...
Asking $7000 OBO but for $7500 I'll through in a Warn 8274 winch (needs new $100 clutch pack)
Send me an email with your phone number and I'll call you back. I'm located just north of Seattle WA.
Thanks
