I wish this was an April Fools joke...
After much soul searching and weighing pros and cons, I am putting the 40 up for sale. I'll keep it in this the BSLCA forum for a few days before moving it to the classifieds and putting some adds locally. Alot of you have seen it but I will post pics asap.
I paid $6500 for it last year and added the locker, tach, shocks, rear j**p bench seat, and a "new" carb. Looking for something around $7500.
1978 FJ40
4 wheel disc brakes
Power steering
350 SBC that runs strong
"Brand New" Rebuilt Quadrajet. I just got it on last weekend and it made a huge difference.
Aussie Locker in the rear with <500 miles on it
AA Twin sticks on the transfer case
4 speed trans/ 3 spd Transfer Case
New Battery
New Rancho 5000 in front, Edelbrocks in back.
2.5" lift springs
1.5" body lift
305/70/16 BFG MTs (not KM2) in good shape (over 80% left I guess)
Massive front pipe bumper
Custom rear bumper with swingout tire carrier
Cons:
Windshield wipers inop. Not sure if it is the motor or not.
Fiberglass front end. I hear some people like these? I don't ..I have metal fenders, bib, hood, aprons in the shed.
Very stiff 3 leaf springs. They are bearable with the new shocks, but a different setup is on my short list.
No Top.
It starts up well, runs great especially with the new carb.
PM me if you are interested.
Thanks,
Brian.
p.s. I am keeping the FJ Cruiser so I will still be going on rides and all that
