Builds Bringing a '69 FJ40 back to life (1 Viewer)

[OverLand Cruisers]

We found this '69 in LA in 2016. The body was straight but it had been neglected mechanically...to say the least.

Pretty much nothing worked correctly...everything had a large degree of funky going on.
The lack of brakes was endlessly entertaining as it was moved around the warehouse and shop.

Looks like the PO may have had a few too many cervezas while someplace rocky, often. He needed one of Dave Gore's U-bolt flip kits!!

Love your neck o' the woods. And, I see a factory soft top 40 sitting there. Change out them license plates before someone takes a shot at ya'.

All kinds of dirt in the frame, as usual.

A someone had welded a piece of angle under the 40, not really sure for what...whatever its original purpose it now lives on as scrap.

We're planning a grand opening for after monsoons kick off.

It'll be nice to get the dust knocked down a bit and to let the grass come back from where we've been operating equipment.
