New guy intro.....75 FJ40

[Chunder]

Hello, been creeping around this forum since '08 when I had a 94 FJZ80...didn't know what I had (Clean, 100K miles, Factory Lockers) and sold it...Picked up my dads 75 FJ40 a couple months ago and figured why not get an account and post. He had it for about 8 years ish, I helped him do the disk brake install, OME 2.5 lift, DUI distributor, a few other things I can't recall after a "few" beers and probably cost just as much...anyways it's currently my daily driver/long term project and will eventually get the TLC it needs...It's spent the last better part of a decade plus in the South. I've had the unfortunate pleasure of introducing it to the Omaha salt roads this past winter but I'll eventually get it properly "prepped ". Overall doesn't seem too bad, I've only done fluid changes, hoses, Interior LED light bulb upgrades, addressing wiring that a previous owner long ago deemed necessary to cheaply do, and radio upgrades since newly acquiring it. Plenty of parts/tasks to do in the coming time....As far as a Daily, I get plenty of smiles per gallon, Hoping to get some constructive advice down the road when I really start tearing this thing apart.

Beautiful 40. Keep that rig off the road until spring time!

why would you tear it apart.
from those pictures there is no reason that it needs to see major work.

Yes, very nice FJ40...address any and all safety items, and most importantly, just drive it!
