1979 FJ40 Original Olive Build, 7 year Ownership, and prep for BaT (5 Viewers)

3300 miles of fun, starting driving it less when I added the 1 year older adventure machine in same color in 2023, I wanted something I could remove the top (the 79 has never had the top removed), and take on a few trails, the original paint on the 79’ was just too rare for any trail rash.

Applied some Griot’s wax, careful not to overbuff and there is a lot more shine to gain in the 46 year old single stage paint, figure I will leave plenty

for the next few decades!

I love that Larys' fly shop sticker up there! Rocking the goods from C Falls!

I thank you for the recommendation, cool town, good fishing, great little shop. I hope to get back out there soon!

That’s gotta be one of the nicest 40s to hit the market in years. Good luck with the sale, I’m sure it’ll sell quickly and at a premium price.
