Be on the lookout for a roached FJ40 frame

[lelandEOD]

I'm helping a buddy get into the sickness and we need a usable frame to kick off the project. This will be a dedicated crawler so axles are optional and it need not have the factory engine mounting pedestals. This rig will be trailered everywhere so we don't care if it has paperwork (actually prefer no papers to make it more affordable). He already has a LS, Dana 60s, and something not too far removed from a -40 tub to throw at this project. I know these things are laying around out there...

I have a 78 frame I've been trying to get out of my backyard. $500? He can come take a look and pick it up this weekend.

That’s a promising lead! Text me some pics when you are able.

We'll take it! Now we just need some strong backs to move that sucker.

We should have plenty of folks on the 18th.

Hey @lelandEOD here's another option if Tony's didn't work or you needed another parts frame even. You could probably get it cheaper too.

1966 FJ40 Clean Non Op title and Frame section / 1972 FJ40 chassis

I have a clean Non op 1966 FJ40 title and frame section. The original chassis was a basket case and was scrapped but the frame vin was removed and comes with the title. Would be perfect for a chassis
