My (new to me) 1978 FJ40

[NCNole]

Here are some pics of the new 40! Brought him home today and he's been named "Pappy". I've already had numerous people come up to me to tell me what a cool truck he is and I agree. Thanks to all the ONSC members who helped get me in touch with Brad....awesome guy but it broke my heart to see his face when I left.

So THAT'S. what a shiny 40 looks like!!

You can't beat stock hubcaps.. Jane's PO was the same way - but it looks like a lot of time and effort was put in which will make your life easier!

More pics!

And by the way, he filled the back with TONS of extra parts for me. Some I think I'll need, some not so much. I'll post a list soon. Here's more pics:

Congrats, we know the rig well. Brad has always taken great care of all his toys, this being one of them. Out of all the rigs you shared with us, you hit a home run with this rig. Enjoy and can't wait to see you at an event in it...

That is one of my all time favorite 40's I remember drooling over it the first time Brad joined us at URE. Very cool! Glad to see it stayed in the club also.

Excellent example of an FJ40. Enjoy it! Brad took great care of it. Now it's your turn.

If one more person tells me they "like my new jeep" I might hit them

 

[sarca]

Haha..happens to me all the time. Usually I look at their vehicle and if it's a Ford I say, thanks...that's a nice Chevy..and vice versa.
