Hello, I am new to IH8Mud, but have been lurking for the past several months. There is a great source of information on FJs in here. Picked up a 1978 FJ40 on Tuesday this week. (graduated High school in 1978) I have been waiting to acquire one of these for the cheapest price/highest quality I could find and one my wife would let me buy also! I have been a owner of several Toyota 4x4s over the years. Almost bought a green 1972 FJ40 in 1979 for 1800 bucks, but passed up on the deal! I have fully restored a rusted out 1985 Xtracab SR5 pickup (Fiberglass bed, engine-trans overhaul, etc.) in 1996. I am ready to do this again, somewhat. I'd like to get this FJ40 unrusted and more trail ready over the next few months.
