66 fj45

[coloradofj45]

Hello all, I am new here and excited to find this great resource as I am about to embark on a mission with my 66 fj45 wagon. Im sure I will have some questions for the more experienced guys the farther I get into it. I will post some pics when I go pick it up this weekend.

It is all white but not the same one im sure, this one has been sitting on my dads property for at least ten years. I will be there next weekend for sure, lookin forward to it.

I'm tempted, Ige. Man, I miss being able to go to those - they are SO much fun! Oh well, yet another reason why I need to get home soon. I'll be home in Jan and Feb...don't suppose we can talk the Rising Sun folks into having one in the snow?

Maybe we can have it inside the Adams County Fairgrounds; catering, bands, Cruisers. I'm seeing a Cruiser version of Monster Truck tour. Whadayathink? OK, perhaps a bit ambitious.
