[FONT="]1976 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 [/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]I bought my 40 in 2008 while I was in college. I’ve spent the last four years slowly building it. All my money leftover would go in this thing and I didn’t mind at the time. I’ve spent a lot of money on it. I was building it for myself without the thought in mind that one day I would sell it. I’m now out of college and have an ok job, so I need to plan ahead for the future. I’m selling it now to gather up a down payment for a condo. I really do hate to see it go, but I’ve decided on my priorities.[/FONT]

[FONT="]- [/FONT][FONT="]These last couple summer months in LA have been hot. I’ve noticed it has ran hotter than usual on the freeways. I’ve had to run at 60 mph to avoid overheating. It does not overheat at all in traffic nor streets, but on the freeway I need to stay at about 2300 RPM to avoid overheating. [/FONT]
[FONT="]- [/FONT][FONT="]It is not smog compliant. Every two years I have to pass it. [/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]It has the usual exhaust smell issue and exhaust heat that is covered in many threads here. [/FONT]

[FONT="]The rig runs really strong and it's really fun to drive. [/FONT]
