Hello
My name is Charles I’d like to introduce my 1970 FJ 55
She was purchased by my family in the early 80s in Wyoming and we drove it until I left for the Navy in 89
Lots of hunting and exploring done in this ole girl as a teenager..

We recently re-acquired it she was being parted out.

Great Rig with some wonderful family history. Welcome to the pig sty!

Welcome. Looks like a solid start to a resto.

Welcome to the group! Hope you have a sense of humor and a heavy wallet, because we'll test both. I love hearing these kind of stories with family history and I'm guessing your planned rebuild. Looks like you're going to need some parts, full restore or restomod?

Nice save on a "family" member! Welcome to pig fever.

 

[bobm]

Nice save from parting out! I hate when its done on something worth saving! More pics and more story

 

[76lcmike]

don't like it, it's not green!

Neat to be able to reconnect with a vehicle again like that. Contact Dennis @Denscustom1 and see what he has he is in Wyoming. Great seller and very helpful.

Awesome you got it back. This sty is the best place to hang out. Warning though it leads to hitting the 5k rebuild limit pretty quick. Great guys on here.

 

[MudDauber]

Good work saving her, looks solid, moar pics please!

 

[DirtDauberGarage]

I am glad you saved it!!! Can't wait to see what you do!

Makes sense, however all above it were 2 tones so in theory it’s the #1 solid color

I'm not even responding to this type of green bashing. You all know in your heart you identify as green. That's why God made everything green, trees, grass and money. It's easy on the eyes!
