Bought the wife a 100.

[FJ40-40]

Well, the decided that she wanted a 100 and who can argue with that...

So I found a '98 with a whopping 55K miles!!! Its black with tan interior. Its a bit of a project, so my 40 project will continue to be neglected while I get the 100 up to higher standards. The stuff I have to fix: passenger mirror is broken, sunroof is stuck open, bottom of the drivers door is dented in, heat only works intermittently, cat heat-shield is rattling, remove the old brush gaurd, etc, etc

Let the fun begin. I'll post some pics soon.

Those are little things. How are the mechanics of the vehicle beside heat and sunroof?

 

[FJ40-40]

Mechanically is seems very good. runs and drives great. shifts smooth. fluids all look clean. No leaks or drips so far. No maintenance records, so I'll figure out what needs to be done. I'm very pleased with it so far. I'm looking forward to participating in some of the cruiser activities now that I have one that actually drives.

Gulches?

Congratulations on the new 100, but the 40 is gonna need therapy from sitting back there in the shop while you wrench on your new shiny Cruiser.

Gulches?

Ha! More like a monthly meeting or the cruise on the blue ridge parkway. And yes my 40 needs lots of therapy anyway.
