68 fj40 with tree damage (1 Viewer)

Hello, just wanted to say hi and thanks! this is a great place to get answers, ideas and courage to actually dig in to something a little further than i would have before!! Ha! I'm currently replacing a head on my '71 40, I hope to get that back together for some fall riding! next project is a tree damaged '68 40, ...never get your rig ready for winter storage then park near a maple tree in a wind storm!! got the '68 and my 4 runner but had the courtesy to miss the garage with my '78 in it! These pics were after removing some of the tree! the 68 is a little bent but still runs a drives(around the farm!) gotta love a land cruiser!

WOW!

Could have been worse. Glad it did not hit the house or injure anybody.

 

[landcruuzer]

Exactly! and it didn't get into the engine, and the cowl and dash are undamaged save for the steering wheel! it'll live to fight another day!!

That sucks, man. It looked pretty solid for an NH truck.

It took me a few seconds to figure out what you were talking about though.

Here's a random from courtesy of google. I'm assuming the rockwells are not stock.

here's a couple, it's mainly my fire wood rig, and it did help dragging the tree away (wich i still have some left to burn this winter!)
thought i'd throw in a pic of my plow rig too, its got no doors but at least the brakes dont work!!
ps. the snow is last years!!

Nice M715. Is the Scout fairly solid? If not, I saw a nice parts rig for it up in Maine.

 

[landcruuzer]

thanks,stock engine and 24 volt still, still runs great luckily, the scout runs like a top too, but the body's falling off it!! so... between no brakes, bad clutch, terrible body, one working plow light, drivers seat completely loose from the floor, boat gas can fuel tank....you get the idea HA! it'll probably finish it's life in that shape probably go to somebody who needs a drivetrain.

Those Scout 2's have the Dana 44's under them that the Jeep guys are alway looking for to upgrade thier CJ series.

You could also contact the www.ScoutConnection.com if you wanted to fix anything on that rig.
