40 series general tech and classifieds (2 Viewers)

Well, from the looks of it, it is a stock 74 Cruiser. If that is the case, normal market would say is it a 8-10 thousand dollar truck. The current 40 market is hot though and I think the asking price is pretty close to market

I no 40s are the s*** but I 70 series is what I would look at. Newer platform AC and oil burner. Better value.

1974 FJ40

Is that overspray? Kinda looks like the guy "restored" it. May be a painted over mess.


Bomar. Preach on. I would 1000% rather have a ride like Beno has than that one posted by Mardis.

 

[MEMCruiser]

Yeah. Im gonna hold fast to the goal which is some sort of expo rig to get me out west. 40's look so cool tho!

How do I get me a LHD 70?

The 200 maybe?

 

[wngrog]

You don't get LHD. You figure out RHD fast.

Tom Watson had/has a very nice LHD 70 for sale in Dallas. Posted in the LSLC and 70 Series classifieds. Top dollar, of course.

Thats the plan. Deciding on tires now then awning and RR. I am not sure i will be able to raise rear door with the alu-cab shadow awning. I am afraid the dust spoiler will raise to high and to close to the support that makes the 270deg turn.

 

[ntsaint]

You can get higher profile roof rack feet from FrontRunner, then mount the awning as high as possible, I bet it will fit.

I'm ready for tires on the 200 too...it's time. Soon as the new black wheels are ready she's getting some 275/70/18 BFGs.

@MScruiser what size tires were your 33" DuraTracs? Were those on 17 or 18" wheels?

Is that the $18k one? I have been tempted myself on that one. Yes, a little high but all the right stuff and already sorted out. I don't see that as one I would regret paying a little more for.

Edit- I'm wrong. The one I am thinking about is RHD

 

[G-Cat]

1987 FJ73 LHD

Original post guestimates mid 20s...not sure what the classified post asks for, though.

[Fireman]

Mardis how much for the Runner? I've got a guy looking for one.

 

[MEMCruiser]

Not for sale, yet.

 

[OGBeno]

70= Best value 40 on the market.

 

[Nottajeep]

I'll take one of each! But if I had to choose the 40 is the all time winner.
Stumbled on to this neat story today...

 

[ntsaint]

Need this to be closer...would be scooping it up right now.

For Sale: - 1978 FJ40, Indianapolis

Yeah, when I bought the 79 basketcase I ended up selling to Todd, that is what I wanted, a trashed bodied runner to cat around with. No body resto. Just a rustbucket with a humming drivetrain.
