First post on here and never participated in any forums, so forgive my ignorance here! I live in Knoxville, TN and own several FJ40s (mostly 70s models). Unfortunately I know very little about working on them (or the MIL Humvee that I recently picked up... happy to take recommendations on that one as well)!
I have a '70 FJ40 that I got out of TX (the classic looking red one pictured below) with a Chevy 350 conversion (I'm not a purist so it didn't break my heart) and need to have someone do a few things here and there to make her street worthy. For starters, it has no electrical wiring hooked up. The guy I bought it off included a generic wiring harness and gauge cluster for it (one of the new ones that looks original) and I just need to find someone qualified to hook it all up. It needs some TLC here and there, and I would love to know of someone who likes working on these, either full or part time, and who could help me out cost effectively.
I also have five parts trucks that I would like to turn into two, maybe three trail rigs (and then sell whatever is left that I don't use/need). Most of the parts are pictured on the other pictures attached. I will use the black one and the white one for the first two trail rigs and then maybe the baby blue one as a rougher build. I also have a couple more frames, a complete roof with glass and other odds and ends that aren't pictured). I would LOVE to find someone to help me build those trail rigs out. Any suggestions/recommendations are welcome. I'd consider any offers for the parts that I don't need (I'll have at least three, maybe four extra frames left when the dust settles).
Thanks!
