This really isn't a build thread. It's just a little log about my first FJ40 purchase, now 10 years ago.
In 2009, after having owned an FJ60 for several years, I got serious about finding my first FJ40.
At this point, classic Land Cruisers were relatively unknown to collectors and were still affordable. However, finding one that was rust-free was not easy. I trolled Craigslist in Arizona, California, and New Mexico for 6 months until I came across this ad.
