This is my new to me 1971 FJ40, I just purchased it from a guy and it was his brothers that passed a way some time ago. The guy didnt know a whole lot about it other than it got horrible gas mileage! So here is what I know from just looking at it... Only paid 3500$ and there is not much rust, I also have the top and doors.
Small block 350
4 speed trans
SOA lift
Beer keg fuel cell
home brew High steer
crappy Rancho shocks
35" BGF Km1's with 90%+ tread
10k? pound winch?
I took it up and around the hills today It did good in my opinion. It desperately needs steering, brakes and a cooling system. So I ordered Ruff stuff heim steering for it, Griffen aluminum radiator, and a high flow water pump.
Now my question is I want to go disk brakes, I know about using the minitruck stuff but can I buy 6 shooter knuckles from trail gear and use those in place of the factory ones?
I will post pics once I meet the minimum post and day requirements
