Hello... New Owner

[Chunk]

Hello everyone:

I just wanted to say hello and post pics of my newly acquired FJ (Nov 1976 build). It is rusty and has been sitting for years, but the price was right (Free, from my in-laws). They were using it to plow their property in Colorado, so some modifications were made by the previous previous owner to accommodate the plow. It just arrived here in Seattle, and I am starting to sort it out. The motor sounds strong... I am going to rebuild the carb next and go from there. I look forward all of the help and advice I know you have to offer…

Welcome! There is a wealth of knowledge here , and a great willingness to share information. I have certainly learned "how not to do it". You will now have no time, and even less money. Good luck with your project!

The in-laws are from Pagosa Springs. They purchased the FJ about 10 years ago in Durango with the plow.

welcome

love the red

I think it was orginally dune beige based on where the red is flaking off and the inside paint.
