*****UPDATE - This has been sold 9/27/11 *****
Up for sale is my favorite vehicle - EVER! I built it personally over the past 3 years, and have had a ton of fun with it.
Here's the details:
1974 FJ40 - painted in Voodoo Blue (matches the 2007 FJ Cruiser) with PPG 2 stage paint. 4 coats of clear.
The interior and underside have been roll-lined with Herculiner. This is so much more cost effective than a Rhino or Line-X, as you can repair it and re-coat it at anytime for less than $50 if you ever need to - this adds a great amount of sound deadening too.
2F Inline 6 - I replaced the original 6 cylinder with a newer 2F - recently replaced the headgasket in July and runs great!
Stock Toyota Carb, newer FJ60 electronic ignition - starts up EVERY time.
6 into 1 exhaust header, full bent exhaust built by Bud's Muffler in Denver - new last year. Nice exhaust tone, not loud and obnoxious.
Toyota 4-speed H42 transmission recently gone thru and all seals and bearings replaced by Safari Ltd in Grand Junction - shifts perfectly.
3-speed, 1-piece case with lower, low range gearing installed by Safari Ltd as well - this is a great improvement for rock crawling...keeping the stock gearing for highway and in-town driving.
This motor, transmission and transfercase are all leak-free!
It has a 2.5" Old Man Emu suspension lift, with fully greasable, extended shackles - and is great off-roading.
It has a fully removable BestTop Soft top, with BestTop soft doors. (there is a small tear in the top of the top but isn't a huge distraction)
The interior is fully custom, the front seats came from a 2006 Toyota Highlander, driver seat is full power with electronically adjustable lumbar support.
The rear seats are fold-and-tumble from 4Wheel Parts, made by Rampage. They're split in the middle and can fold individually for loading up bigger things in the back.
The seatbelts are 1 year old, also from 4Wheel Parts - they're a factory replacement and are a nice improvement - all 4 seats are shoulder, 3-point belts.
The stock FJ40 rollbar is installed, with original protection pads still included.
There is a custom dash-box, replacement for the always worn-out dashpad...this is lockable and is a ton of storage, which most FJ40's don't have!
The 33" BFG Mud Terrains are new, with less than 7k miles on them, set of 5 including the spare all match on false-beadlock gloss black steel 15" rims.
This has been a great FJ40 for us, but we're having to sell due to it being a little too small for our growing family of off-roaders and campers
We've taken it all over Colorado and a few trips to Moab - and has performed flawlessly. It's been a fun member of the family and has provided us with a ton of great memories, but its time to move on to other Land Cruisers that are in our plans.
The Superwinch is not included in the sale, however the custom winch bumper will go with the truck.
I have numerous photos I can email you if you're looking to see something specific. Price is negotiable with cash in hand. Clear title in-hand free of any liens.
Please contact Jeff at 720-320-8207 for more details, and to come take a look at it.
My build-up was somewhat documented here on 'Mud. Here's the link:

I'll post up some photos as soon as I can.
Thanks for lookin-
