Bought a nicer one sorta 1978 fj40

[Fj80oregon]

Hey guys bought a terrible 74 fj40 last week and this weekend by chance found a 78 that is in far better shape than the first one I bought. Some pics! Lots of work to be done but this one’s worth saving maybe.

Couple sweet things already upgraded rear disk brakes, Saginaw power steering, ARB F/R lockers, and York onboard air. Also came with a pickup bed full of parts will be sorting thru and selling what I don’t need. Probable asking questions about what stuff is Also.

That air cleaner is pristine! Looks like fun.

Nothing like a good project . . . or rabbit hole.

Have fun and keep us posted on getting her driving!

I like the Mossy Oak camo!

Looks like maybe a good project base?! A good wash will reveal all. I loved the low key "just do me" sticker. hahaha

Yah it was mustard yellow but they hack painted it looks like I can remove a lot of the paint it’s flaking off. Love that yellow color. It’s gonna need thousands but it’s a start.

Could be hundreds of thousands depending on how crazy you want to get.
