1970 FJ40 Crawler
I am putting up my Crawler for sale. I bought this truck from a fellow forum member. The build was done by Mr jits, and you can see the very detailed build (14 pages) BUILD THREAD
I bought this FJ 3 years ago with the plans to start doing some offroad crawling. Rather than starting up this new hobby, My boys became teenagers, and we have gone a different direction in life. Currently, We are planning an off the frame restoration of my 1977 FJ40, so our time has gone that direction.
I hate to admit it, but I have not taken Olivia out on the trails or challenged her at all. During here first year here, I drove her around town and to the ranch a few times. She was very very flexy with the springs, and I wanted to firm up the ride without compromising off road capabilities. We installed Currie Antirock off road sway bar kit. This helped the ride out a lot.
This is the only upgrade I did to her. Because of the lack of time and attention to her, I feel she should find a home where someone would utilize her to the best of her build.
