FJ40 broke my heart yesterday

[NYIronPig]

Excited to be the proud owner of this beautiful 78 FJ40 "Ruby". She is being picked up Monday and headed my way for a head gasket rebuild and possibly a full engine rebuild (depending on what I find inside....).

@YOTA4X4 was amazing to deal with, only 3 hours away from me and will come visit when Ruby is sorted and running great again.

Already shopping for a few parts....

Got to love Mud!

But did he throw in a flamethrower?

Let us only hope that you are worthy.

THE KING even approves!

Looking forward to seeing more of Ruby as she starts a new chapter of her life.

Thx, New set of Warn hubs, Tuffy Center Console, @Racer65 front and rear mats, OEM fuel door & catch and an OEM fuel lock from @ToyotaMatt already all ordered and shipped. Wating for @FJ60Cam to get back from vacation to get the needed parts to tackle the engine! Got to love MUD!
