I feel the 40 owner is watching his kids before heading off to the adult trails.
Review noted on the cover above.
Seems to be late eighties in France...
Small license plate in the front I would think Italy.
From Wikipedia seems to match the style and format of the era:
France back then should also have at least 1 yearly road vignette on the windshield.
Great pic to have. He just has the cool factor. If there was an FJ40 style back then he was it!
This is Italy pure (of that era): a Fiat Campagnola on the left (with "double toit tropical", like in the Series LR) and a Soviet UAZ-469 on the right, probably equipped with a VM Turbo Diesel (2.400cc) for the Italian market.
It seems that the BJ40s were omnipresent at the Off-Road events on the peninsula...

This was the 71 I bought for the ex, that I posted earlier, before she crashed it. It was near perfect. I paid $1,700 for it in 1984. No rust, no dents, 3 speed on the column, bench seat, vacuum operated transfer case. Everything worked. The used car lot marked it down because he couldn’t get the electrical to charge. He replaced the battery, VR & alternator but the green light on the dash still wouldn’t turn off. I said I’ll take it as is, took it out of 4WD, the green light turned off, and I drove it home.
1981
He is probably trying to remember what he did with the spool from winch.

Or...where did he put his white shoe polish...
Writing on back of picture, something you did in the old days with real pictures, shows April 1988. Dad and Mom came to visit from Florida. Chilling in the back yard watching no one finish my fence. Purchased the ‘82 the year before. Still have, but with a color change.
Still have the old wooden chairs.

Summer at the beach 1981, rotted away a year later. It’s all fun & games until your truck literally disappears. This is how you f##k around and find out.
