Wanted my money for your FJ40 or BJ40 (Texas)

looking for a daily driver/mild trail rig that I could drive across country upon purchase. NOT looking for a project. Prefer a turn key transaction. Prefer 1977-1983 40s with unmolested drivetrain but I am open to others years depending on their condition and attributes. Everything must be in working order and rust rot is a dealbreaker. Depending on the location I am willing to travel a bit if you are...PM me if you want to talk. Budget is around 12k. Negotiable if you are

Here is what I am looking for...

Engine: 2F or 3B
Transmission: 4 speed
Color: Beige or Blue (prefer original paint rather than respray)
Wheels: OEM steelies
Suspension: stock or lifted (OME is a plus)
Tires: prefer 33s (KM2s are a plus)
Disc brakes, power steering, and AC are pluses

I have a 76 fj40 that was converted to 3b with 4sp about 4years ago by another mud member. I bought the truck from him soon after the swap was done. I've put approximately 4000 miles on it in the 4 years I've had it.
I used the truck primarily for advertising as you can see from the photos.
Don't have any recent photo's but can get some taken.

These are the only 2 old pics I can currently find on my computer, they are from about 3 or 4 years ago.
2"OME Dakar springs.
Has the GM style p/s conversion but there is no pump or pump bracket installed. Was never an issue for me.
Minor rust beginning to show through the top of the rh front fender and also at the rh rear lower quarter panel below the ambulance door.
Roll bar is not installed.
Transfercase leaking from the rear tail seal.
Engine is dry with exception to minor oil leak from the oil pressure feed lines that run to the vacuum pump on the back of the alternator.
Has a new Denso Starter installed.
Front knuckes rebuilt, front wheel bearings re-packed, new front pads and front rotors resurfaced.
Will need new tires soon. Vehicle has not been driven in several months, but I remember when I drove it last that the tires had flat spots from sitting.

1980 FJ40 For Sale

I am in the Fort Worth area and have a 1980 FJ with 77,800 original miles on it that I would like to sell. It is very clean, has the 4 speed transmission and runs great. I drive it pretty much every day. Everything works and is original including the smog equipment, engine (2F) and drive train. Someone painted it red some time back, but has since been repainted to its original desert beige. Here are a few recent pictures. Please contact me for more information or pictures.

[ddeezenuts]

Txvoze: I just PM'd you. Give me some details. Like the 40

Lextechautomotive: could not call or text to that number. Not sure why however I PM'd you as well

Thanks guys. Lets see if we can work something out

Motorcars of Dallas imported a bunch of nice ones they're reasonable and look decently restored. You could check those out. They've listed a few on ebay as well.

I am selling my 76 FJ40 that has the Cummins 4BT Diesel in it. It would surely take you across the country and beyond.

I have to admit...I saw this post the other day in a different section and it made me salivate a bit. Your 40 would cause me to have an affair with my love of beige and blue 40s.

Is anyone in the Charleston, SC area that would be willing to check out one of the 40s from above and give me some feedback? It's a 20 hr drive (one way) for me to take a look. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys

Glen is one of the best landcruiser mechanics in town, and a super guy to boot. I know and have seen this 40 and can say you will not be disappointed.
