71 FJ 40 in NW Washington (Newbie) (1 Viewer)

[everglad28]

;p My new FJ 40 with lots of work in the future. I am tired of being a lurker. I am addicted to reading all the posts with great amounts of information. I have read most of the FAQ and am qualified on the Search aparatus and hope not to piss off too many with stupid questions.

;p Thanks for the great welcome. I am actually up in Bellingham near the border. The cruiser is a 3/71 that was just sitting on the side of Mt Baker Highway on a trailer since it appears to have been sitting outside with the hood up for a considerable period of time due to the fact that there was several inches of water sitting on the top of the exposed pistons.

In the initial pictures the engine and tranny were still in it. I think you can see the mufflers and drive shaft just hanging down and don't forget the PTO driveshaft which must have been hanging too which got mangled when the seller rolled it off his trailer into the barn.

I tried to upload more pictures, but I guess I need to learn the secret of putting more pictures on from another site.

Time to drill some rusty bolts. LOL

Congrats on your purchase! Bellingham is nice. I have family there, and have been there many times. You can check this thread - https://forum.ih8mud.com/ih8mud-com-help-corner/253317-ih8mud-user-guide.html - to learn what you have to do to add pictures. The easiest is to support the website with the purchase of a star. You can then upload as many pictures as you like.
