Happy Saturday, all!
After some recent health scares, and some soul searching, I have decided to make some changes in my life.
Downsizing forces me to sell my beloved 1974 FJ40. It is time for it to go to a new owner who will appreciate it and who can afford to continue progress on it.
I restored this truck myself, and I have dumped countless thousands of dollars into it over the years to get it to where it is now. It is a reliable/fun truck and I would love to see it go to someone in our club!
If you have not previously seen it, it is in what I would consider excellent condition. There are few flaws or unfinished items. I am a little anal and have gone into too much detail in many areas.
The truck is always evolving, and I am always working to take it to the next level.
You can see my build thread on the truck here.
Here is a link to all of the pictures I have of the truck.
I am asking $20k OBO.
Here is a recent picture

The Bad:
I did not replace the sill when I restored the truck. The paint is bubbling a little on the corners. I do have a new Awl TeQ reproduction sill that would go with the truck
Smokes a little - believe to be valve guide seals. Compression is good on all cylinders
