Is this your FJ40 on page 84 of True West magazine? (1 Viewer)

So, I'm reading the May-June edition of True West and look was I spied! It is obviously a stock photograph since the credit reads "Courtesy of Wyoming Tourism". But it belonged to somebody. I can see that it has barn doors. I know this is a long shot, but crazier things have happened on this site.

@rkymtnflyfisher ?

If it’s a good spot for fishing, @rkymtnflyfisher is a likely candidate, but I think he would have the roof rack and everything on, but could be an earlier photo!

That picture looks decades old.

It looks like its got the cruiser lean.

Beautiful pic and 40 but I don’t think it’s @rkymtnflyfisher , the pic is in southern WY and he’s up in MT, and that’s not a 40 on 4” skyjackers

Does he run hub caps?

Pretty sure he has a 4plus carrier hitched to the rear and either a 4plus or an ARB Elk slayer mounted on the front.

Great pic though!!!

I want a high resolution of that image. Been in that exact spot 15 years ago. Beautiful area

 

[rkymtnflyfisher]

Definitely not me, I have a 74 with a hatch. Plus all the goodies bolted on everywhere else. That looks to be a clean cut plane Jane 40.


I'd happily recreate that photo if someone skilled behind the lens needs a ride though.

 

[rkymtnflyfisher]

Being as it's in southern Wyoming, I wouldn't rule out the Steamboat or northern Front Range Colorado crowd.

I agree, the pic has a 30 year old vibe to it.

That doesn't appear to be the same 40.

My original photo shows a FJ40 with barn doors (1975 and newer) unless they were retrofitted. The left front turn signal in the second photo appears to be the smaller one (pre 1975). So, rkymtnflyfisher is correct.
