would love to have it back
Just picked up this 1981 BJ42. Should be arriving on the transporter in a week or so. Can’t wait. Used to not like this colour but now I think I’m really set on it, something classic about it that suits these old rigs perfectly.
Here’s my 79...partial to the color of course.
Very nice! It has the right stance too. I miss mine.
Great pics!
this looks like it just rolled off the production line!
Oh it’s far from perfect, don’t be fooled!
My '79 BJ40 "Alby". Registered and on the road for the last 41 years! I'm the third custodian!
KMS, unknown but greater than 350,000, no restorations, no rebuilds, a bit of dodgy paint work and panel repair here and there; and the original B motor.
Lived most of his life in the high country - Mansfield, Victoria, Australia.

This one USED to be mine...
Now @jmlockwood is cruising in it and making all kinds of nice upgrades!!
Glad he was the buyer...
This is probably my favorite pic.

Anyone else?
Just a couple newer pics since the last one
Here's my 1975 on the day I got her. She used to belong to John Denver, but now she's all mine. I was not a big fan of yellow, but now I am 100% in love. As others have stated, it is just such an iconic looking vehicle.
This old workhorse was the second FJ45 we used as a farm sprayer, a lot of bits were swapped from an earlier one that folded in half. Never missed a beat and was replaced 12 or so years ago with an 8 tonne Isuzu. It's been a really useful donor for the 2 I have saved - I fishoiled the chassis in the early 00s and its still pretty sound, will possibly end up under my 69. I left it with a friend.

I almost bought a brand new mustard '83 FJ40 from Toyota West in Las Vegas, NV. Otherwise I'd be able to post a photo. I ended up buying a new beige '84 FJ60 which better suited my needs for a growing family. They were side by side on the showroom floor. Hard decision.
Beautiful 40. Did you buy this one from Jason Carlisle a while back? I think I remember it when it was unrestored.
