As some of you may know, I sold my FJ60 (Big Green) to make way for a super awsome rig.

I purchased Dave Beattie's FJ40, and brought her home on Sunday. After much painful deliberation
over selling my FJ60, I decided it was time for a new rig, and Dave's 40 was perfect.

Thanks to Dave and Randy for all the work on the rig before I picked her up, and a big thanks to Randy
for helping me pack up, and ship out!

Here she is with the hard top on!

A few more...

Oh, and the TOW dolly lights...Anyone remember the Petzel Advertisement with the headlamp taped to the headlight of an FJ60? Well, I did it for real! The tail lights on the Uhaul Tow Dolly died, so I taped a few headlamps (with red LED's) on the tail lenses, and made it all the way from mass to Rochester NY> I even had a state trooper pull up next to me, and 'admire' my hack lighting job! LOL

You are going to LOVE IT!!!!
That is one nice rig.
We are wheeling Sunday, should I count you in?
 
Nice rig! I should know since I owned it earlier. It is a great truck and I'm glad to see that it's staying relatively local. I owned it when it went from mild-mannered street Cruiser to off-road beastie. My company has a Rochester office, so if you see someone suspicious looking doing a drive-by of your house some time, it might be me. I'm sure that Randy and Dave have set you up well, but feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

get used to the color bud, you'll be seeing more soon;)
I'm gonna miss that Big Green whale, but congrats anyhoo:p
 
normally somebody at work come to me and says...."hay i saw a jeep like your today"....but....you must have snuck under my radar :)

thats a great looking truck


this is going back some years...but...didnt Dave Beattie own a fst blue fj40?
 
Trimmin some weight off the rear, eh? Nice score man! I left some blood and sweat somewhere on that rig years ago.

You're one of the few people I know that's got TWO headlamps on standby, with red lenses to boot! Keep on keepin on...
 
Nice Rig. But you should of bought an 80. Selling a 60 to buy a 40 is just going backwards IMO. I would never sell my 80 for a 40. But that's just me.
I'll really miss wheeling with Big Green and hearing the clank clank noise it made. :meh:
 
Nice Jon
great truck you got to be excited about it. welcome to the never ending fun of the 40 series
congrats man

You're just jealous that we have manual transmissions and you don't:flipoff2:
 
Thanks for all the kind words!

I'm still torn about selling Big Green, but it was time for a 40. The long term plan is to have the 40 for 'real' wheelin', and in the next few years build up a FJ45 troopy for the family wheeler. (thanks for the inspiration Randy!!!)

...can't wait to get this beast out on the trail!

:cheers:
 
that's one sharp looking 40 congrats:cheers:
