Congrat!!! Working on my 40 is absolute therapy...

and just get ready to literally light cash on fire

Well, add the 40 to my 80 and my girlfriend's lx470 plus my E30, money doesn't exist anymore at my house.

Looking forward to following along! Thanks for sharing and documenting. This club needs a few more 40s!

I think you’re about 2 hours from me but don’t hesitate to get in touch with questions. I won’t claim @brian level knowledge but I’ve fixed enough stuff on my 40 at this point that I might be of use

so.... where with the pictures?

My daughter was sick and since it was my day with her (couch day), I decided to push back to pick up of the FJ40 (aka money pit). I'm hoping to get it this week and I promise, I will post pictures!

@Crusha better?

Yeap.
The fj cruiser broke that phrase.

Great job Keystone!

Within his first few posts, he now knows the two most important pieces of 40-series knowledge:

1. Bezel orientation
2. Correct nomenclature

For your next step, I suggest calling your CC company and asking for a credit limit increase. Let us know how that goes and we can continue offering advise!

I've been shamed.... I'll fix it

normally it carries a points deducted from man card penalty as well, luckily these missteps a cured in the semi privacy of the club sections....had these taken place in the open forum for the 40 series....well lets just be glad they didnt.

my assistant just finished an overnight shift in the ER and volunteeed for the job today great guy!

Finally got it home. It was a miserable cold day with about an 1/8" of ice on everything. My 3yo daughter is stoked, "Piper's truck"....

 

[RobE30]

The house key jammed in the ignition is a nice addition. Lots to do....

 

[RWBeringer4x4]

Start em young!

Always love how agricultural these trucks look before they’re all cleaned up. house key is definitely a nice touch!

 

[brian]

looks like you have plenty of work, but a good starting foundation.

I love the plow. Dose it work?

I love the plow. Dose it work?

It will lower but not raise. I haven't any time to dig into this thing at all. Within 20 min of unloading and daughter inspection, we had a white out snow squall. I have a free day on Sunday and will dig into things then. The fuel is disgusting and everything is super dry. This will prove to be a project over time, not a sprint. Still, I am stoked to have it!
