I purchased my first FJ40 in Birmingham, AL a few weeks ago. This 1975 FJ40 has spent time in Texas, South Florida, Guatemala, Georgia, and Alabama before making its way back to Florida. It has rust in the usual places: front fenders, rear sill, and quarters. The frame looks pretty good from what I can see.
I plan on driving it for a while before I really decide how much I want to take on with a light restoration.
I'm excited to start on this adventure!
And some pictures:
Met a much younger cousin...
Loading on the trailer. The weather was awful my window to drive it home. This, combined with the facts that I'm new to FJ40s, haven't driven a stick in 20 years, and I don't know the real state of this gal yet, made me decide to trailer it.
Ahhh, chains on the shackles? Shucks...I should have mentioned that to the driver.
