Hi guys,
I'm cross posting this from Expedition Portal as I might be putting my 40 up for sale soon. Any feedback is appreciated as always and if you have any questions feel free to PM me. Pics and info below!

Hopefully the above link works as most of my images are in that build. Like the title says, I MAY be selling my 40. I just bought a new Tundra for work and still have my 80 that I have a lot of time and $$ invested in. I would like to possibly move the 40 as it just sits there these days and work just has me too busy to enjoy it and rebuild it the way I want. This is not urgent and you can PM me if you have any questions. I will list some specs below.
1978 FJ40 from Bolivia (I have all the import paperwork, legal and has been registered in AZ for the last 4 years)
I acquired the vehicle from the guy who imported it. I was originally Olive green and was painted in Bolivia. Paint not great and I was going to blast it and re-paint original. Interior has been changed a little - New gauge cluster and dash switches. I have the original, but it is in KPH.
Seats are Montero seats covered in Bolivian leather, I have the jump seats (extra long like the 43 series I believe) that are covered in the same leather. I put a Best Top bench seat in the back as I have 2 young daughters that love to ride in it.
Roll cage I have to believe was built in Bolivia, not well built and I would replace with Metal Tech or something like it if not original.
Gas tank was relocated to the rear, needs a breather line. Previous owners wife did not like the gas smell.
I put on a Hell Creek 4" lift.
60 series wheels with 33x10.5 BFG KM2's (5)
Toyota OEM winch ( I reserve the right to keep this winch!)
Original 2F rebuilt about 13,000 miles ago. Truck runs great!
Needs OEM washer bottle, bought a cheapy to get by.
Lots of extra parts come with the vehicle, I'll have to clean out the box to see what is in there. I know I have a clutch, misc. latches, etc.
I have a black bikini top that I never used, also have a set of Best top half doors in excellent condition. I have a CCOT tailgate as well.
There is NO rust, body is straight. I line x'd the back area to protect it.
Disc brakes up front with 4x4 labs high steer kit. Drums in rear.
Full floating rear axle.
I am sure I am missing some things, feel free to comment or ask me any questions. I just want to get some idea of what it might be worth. I do want it to go to someone who will appreciate the vehicle!
Thanks in advance, Steve
