Hello all, first post on here! Just want to introduce myself and let you all know I’m probably going to be asking a lot of questions and looking for some advice. So, a little background. My father bought an 80’ FJ40 in 1982 from a friend. It was his pride and joy and he owned it until 2002 when he sold it to his best friend to pay some bills. During his time of ownership all of my childhood memories are tied to that truck. From painting the wheels and bumper every spring to rebuilding the motor on 1999. Fast forward to December of last year and I get a call that he’s gonna but it back from his friend! Well Jan came around and he was diagnosed with stage 4 bladder cancer and it changed his plans a little. He fought a good fight, but lost his battle on Sept 3rd. After he passed all of my siblings and I kept telling stories and they all involved the FJ. So, I called up my dads friend and asked him if it was really for sale. He said only to my dad! But, he would make an exception to that and I could have it back. It’s in really rough shape, but I’m hopeful that over the next year I can bring it back to life and make some memories with my kids. I have owned two of my own in the past, but this one is different. I plan on posting pics of the progress and looking forward to all of your input.
Thanks,
Thanks,
