Introducing the Deathmobile, 74 FJ40 (1 Viewer)

I bought this Hula girl years ago for my 40 and finally put her on my dash. It was an idea with good intentions but poor real life results. The stiff suspension of the 40 had her dancing all over but she couldn't hold on when I turned into the ally and she went flying. One and done as far as going on a trip. Now she's back on the shelf in the house.

Here's a pic of the loot I've aquired: 2000 Taco rear end w/ e-locker although I couldn't get it to work when I wired it up. 1972 Chevy pickup TH350 attached to a NP205 transfer case with cross member. I've purchased the JB Custom twin stick set up but haven't installed it yet. There's a reinforced bell housing that came with it. A decade ago I purchased off ebay a set of FJ40 drive shafts with new u-joints installed and zerks everywhere for greasing. I forgot to include in the pic the custom Chevy motor mounts I bought awhile ago off ebay as well. I just need to get some shop floor space but it probably isn't going to happen. In the end, I'll probably pay a buddy to wrap it all up for me.

In the other pic you'll see the original 1974 FJ40 4 speed w/ tc that came with it when I bought it. I really should have just went back with this but I wanted an automatic.

You might be able to see the hard top sitting above and behind all this stuff. I haven't had that on in years.

This followed me home yesterday...... I wish.

That's a Freeborn Red Lambo. HA

My son took some Senior Pics with the Landcruiser. I think a couple could be magazine covers. These are true pics with no touch up or photo shop. I did have to really reduce the size of the pics to attach it. The photographer was laughing at me b/c my wife was fussing over Tyler and his wardrobe and I was fussing over the FJ40 keeping it clean of bugs and dust after driving to the shoot. The pics are from Coronado Heights just outside Lindsborg Kansas. It almost looks like a beach pic at first glance.
