Well, you do know enough to call it an FJ40 and not just "FJ". Thank you for that.
Yours looks to be partially desmogged, do you have to pass a smog check in order to register it? What are your plans for it?
Welcome flipoff2 and good luck.

Well the plates are good til 2050 in ohio But moved to Arizona and yes, have to take it to an emissions test so i can drive it around on roads. Not sure what i can do to help with the smog check. any ideas?

 

[Pighead]

any ideas?

1) Keep it registered in Ohio.
B) Buy a LOT of vacuum line and an emissions manual
III) Don't drive it on the road

I suck at smog...

Noob, on the plus side you have very righteous leaf spring assemblies, very good arch, anti-friction pads, just need to disassembled them, paint each leaf completely, reassemble- - -enjoy !!!!

Is there another data plate on the A pillar, on the drivers side. It’s visible when you open the door and look where the hinges attach to the body. Usually this data plate gives the build date as well as other info.

Doesn’t look like your Firewall VIN matches the A pillar VIN, what’s the passenger front frame horn VIN say?
