After what seemed like a lifetime of searching I have found my FJ40. Here it is on the truck ready to leave its current home in Texas and join me in SWMo. Shout out @Riverrunner getting this shipped so fast. I mean I think it was 4 hours between time I called to the time it was on a truck, just unbelievable service! If you ever need a car transported just save yourself the time and headache of trying to contact other places and just go with Summit. Anyways, no top or doors, but is running and driving. Not sure how far I am going to go with the resto definitely enough to get it street legal and a daily, but it seems pretty original so maybe I will go further.. not sure yet. Excited to get it here and really pour over it and get started with stuff. Starting this thread to chronicle the progress and my failures! On the lookout for Top/Doors/Jump seats, but that stuff can be down the line. There is going to be some mechanical issues to tackle first.
Should be a fun project, I look forward to hearing any advice from everyone!
