Good eye Paul, I will have to look into it...I kept an eye on that, it only goes down like that at idle, not sure if it is always at idle though
 
Looks crazy! it looks light enough though, so I bet you could pull it with the FJC on a 16' trailer, no problem.

I talked to him via email and it sounded like a solid rig from out west. I like the paint job gives it character catch me before Thursday I leave for two weeks in the wee hrs Friday morning unless we run over there Thursday at lunch time. The place doing the work is that Robert's on Verot School Rd? I can make a pass on the way home if its there. We had a previous member Phillip who had some work done there.

This was from his email sent.

Bumping this TTB we received the following email from Wade the owner.

Wanted to let you and the club know about the 1977 FJ40 I have for sale in Lafayette! Here are a few pictures. This FJ was purchased out of Seattle about 6 years ago as a project. After owning her for a number of years now and putting alot of time and money into the project, I am ready to sell and move on to another project. This FJ is mechanically sound and is stock other than a few items:

*Adjustable Rancho shocks
*Full family roll cage
*Man-A-Fre header
*3 inch lift

The interior has been totally redone and is near perfect. There is a small bit of rust on the front fenders, but other than that it is relatively rust free for a vehicle of it's age. I did replace the metal plates in and around the cargo area as they had more rust than I could tolerate. The work was done by a company in Dallas that specialized in Landcruiser restorations. The interior was then totally repainted. I am asking $8,700.00, which is well below what I have in it and priced competitively for '77 Landcruiser in this condition.

Please call me if you are interested.

Hey Scott (and Paul),

If I were to get a wild hair up my bum and decide to do the re-leather on the 80, how hard was it to do and how long did it take?

Thanks,
E

Seats not bad (if you don't punch too many holes).. door panels SUCKED as I understand it...yeah, I "deferred" those. However, I learned a little bit and I'd be glad to help you. You have to buy the beer though.
