New FJ45 Owner (1 Viewer)

[Slappen]

I picked up a '68 FJ45 a couple of months ago. The truck is in very good shape but it needs new window seals, any advice in where I can get them?

Sooo, how come you’re not showing off your rig to us with a picture?

Sooo, here it is. In good running shape but needs some work.

I dig it -- Sweet color!!

It should be fun, I mostly want to make it a little more road worthy.

@65swb45 Mark can set you up with parts!

Nice truck! We love pics and the story behind your acquisition!

Yeah, that's a beauty. Where did you find it? Please don't tell us this is your first landcruiser. More pics please.

First Land Cruiser, a client had let me know that he was looking to sell it. I somehow passed his interview process and was able to purchase it!

You need an @Awl_TEQ tailgate!

Wow. A lot of us have been driving these for many decades and never had a chance at a solid 45lpb.

Keep it original! Ask lots of questions and enjoy! (and don't drive it in the salt!)

G`day

Yah, the owner who was very close to the original owner had said that the truck had come from Canada new and did not have a tailgate so the wood one was built.

The removable top for a 45 appeared on FB marketplace. Included in the description was this little gym that is relevant here:
"I also have an fj45 long bed, brand new tailgate in the box, and an original headache rack."

Thanks so much for the tip, not sure if I'm going to keep the wood tailgate or not but I will reach out to Texas owner! I want to keep the vehicle as original as possible but I'm still learning on what that is. Thanks again for your help.

That's about as unmolested and original as I have ever seen. Congrats and welcome to Mud!

An under hood shot please so we all can be completely dried out from drooling .
