Grandpa's 1973 FJ 40

[MicahMan]

Purists beware I broke my taillights on a low Rock and made the decision I didn't like that. New lights went in tonight







Turned out great and I cleaned up the wiring at the same time

 

[cruiserjunkie]

Sorry not a fan of that style of light at lest you wont brake these

Now to get him out to the hills

Grandpa just made it through a heart attack this week, he's a tough bugger. Should be back at his home on Friday. He's an amazing Man!

Did a little offroading in the spirit of the 70's check out RelicRun.com > Home
Here are some pics of the fun trip. Please excuse the sneak apperrance of random not landcruisers. The run accepts all offroaders from 79 and older.

My Favorite Pic

An amazing original 45.

You need a cage in that thing! I love Metal Tech's cages, but love the A-pillar mounting of my 4x4Labs cage.

My wife wouldn't let me wheel my 40 until I had a cage of some sort.

 

[MicahMan]

cage install is tomorrow!

 

[69LC]

Awesome! Whose cage will your cruiser be getting?

 

[MicahMan]

I got the cage from a guy who works in Alaska he moved here and has 4 cruisers mostly extreme crawlers. this was a cage he built simple but tough

 

[MicahMan]

should be fun

 

[69LC]

Let's hope you never need it.

 

[MicahMan]

agreed here it is all bolted in. the only headache was getting past the passenger side seat bracket

 

[MicahMan]

[SAWTOOTH 55 LC]

Thanks everyone! I have to say I couldn't do this without all the help from the mud community. I've gotten tons of advise and support from everyone and even a bunch of cheap parts! I still can't believe that my fuel gauge works thanks to some skematices here on the board! I really want to say thank you to Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters and thanks to all the Wasatach crew! Thanks to Proffits they've been cool, CCOT, Mark, my Wife! and everyone!
