12 years ago I got my first peek at this original condition FJ40 at @Bossman ‘s secret lair deep in the pines in south Arkansas. I’m not sure how long it had been there but it was long enough to collect a bit of dust and I fell in love.
Over the years I’ve told Bossman how much I’d like to polish this turd bit and finally on Friday night under the gazebo at the Cruiser Crawl he relented.
Mind you, I had not seen it in 12 years and I can barely remember what I did 12 days ago but I knew I wanted to get my mitts on it
This FJ40 was purchased new in Monroe Louisiana in 1975 and lived in Crossett, AR for its entire life until the local parts guy told Bossman about it.
He went to look at it and the tires were flat and the brakes were locked up but Bossman drug it on the trailer and made his way with it to his shop about 10 miles away
This fj40 is on its first lap around the odometer. The original owner used it to squirrel hunt and fish. Tag was last updated the year I got my drivers license
Original jack and most of the tools are in place
