I need to make a decision soon, it will be time to shoot color before I know it.
I saw a pink on for sale on ebay a year or two ago, it was exactly as bad as you'd think. My father-in-law wants me to go full Daktari zebra truck though. Everyone has their opinions...
EDIT: Found it:
Need Advice on Market Value - 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40
The pink one in CA was back on ebay a few weeks ago.

I'm going to get rid of them and the rims to go back to OEM and 33x10.5

I just puked.
lol^^^^^
It's just proof that some people shouldn't be allowed to make any decisions.
I think we're all in the same boat, thought I was set on blue as I thought that was the original color....not. Inside the top seem to have been blue originally. Then I was set on red, because the cowl looks to have been red originally. But the cowl has been replaced some where along the way. Now I don't know. So many good looking colors on 40s out there.

You know, I wasn't crazy about Rustic Green when I bought mine, but it had so little rust that I just couldn't pass on it. The color has grown on me over the years and I like it now. My hood is fading and needs re-sprayed. Still really like to have a Dune Beige/Desert Tan 40 though.

It is definitely an awesome 40! Every time I see a pic of it I want to go dark green with my 40.
At the rate I am going with deciding I may just put a handful of paint chips in a hat and draw a color.
Just paint a different color on each panel, then, just change the angle you're looking at your truck based on what color you feel like that day 
Man color was the hardest choice when it came down to the rebuild on mine... light olive, cadet blue, the modern FJCruiser sandstorm, go back to dune beige. I just gave up and went back to original... so glad I did.
Tough call... good luck! =)

Pick a color yet?
If you paint it red people will call it a fire truck
If you paint it white people will call it a mail truck
If you paint it green people will call it an army truck
If you paint it yellow people will call it a taxi
If you paint it multi color it will be a getto truck
If you paint it baby blue people will call it cute
That doesn't leave you too many other choices

Dune or some Tanish
However .... I do love firetrucks ... maybe a darker brick red... with the white bezel would look killer
Had a friend in VT with the color on her 40 ( Marsha Marsha Marsha) it was a Fantastic combo ... just sayin
