Hello - just thought it might be a good idea to let you all know my FJ40 will be on BaT shortly - guessing sometime this week.
I might be able to add a link when it posts?
For those of you looking for close to a 'Survivor' - that has never had any body work - it might catch your eye.
I thought it was best not to restore and re-paint it - so it does have a couple smaller dents, scratches and that Patina finish.
I did decide to make it something comfortable to drive - and there were things that seemed to make sense to replace without loosing that sense of originality.
So - I replaced the upholstery, replaced the Headliner, replaced the dash pad, replaced the Door weather-stripping, re-arched the leaf springs and replaced the shocks.
Dash Pad, door weather-stripping, shocks and dash pad all Toyota OEM. Also Toyota mirrors and windshield wiper blades OEM.
New BFG All Terrain Tires - but i did save the spare which was in incredible shape. The wheels are the originals - but I had them professionally painted black with new hubcaps.
The engine runs like new, the transmission shifts smoothly - and the videos on BaT should help with the sounds and visuals.
All smog equipment is there, as well as the original tools/toolbag/jack and manuals.
All of the gauges work, interior dash lights, as well as the turn signals and all exterior lights.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask - i can also send additional photos or those videos mentioned earlier. PM me with your email if your interested and i can send a link.
