our 1976 FJ40 build

[landcruisers4ever]

this is my 76 FJ40 ive been restoring over the past month it was bought for $2,225 from a local who hadnt driven it in 4 years, it was sitting in the weather so it had some pretty bad rust but the frame was solid and it had 76k origional, everything works as it should other then a bad master clutch which has been replaced, after we got it home and put some gas in the carb she fored up first try!! I am posting pics of the build from day one to present day, they should speak for themselves but feel free to ask any questions

There was a nice rig in Spanish Fort about 6 months back. was a duel fuel too... but they wife would not let me spend what he was asking... which was 3 times what Oswald cost...
