PROJECT FJ35 Is Over - LV Gets "T" Boned At 60mph

[FJBen]

I've got a 4 speed from my old FJ55 just sitting in the garage. It's a 76. if you want it, it's yours.

Maybe someone going to MOAB could take it there?

hmmm, that might work. mace will be up there in a month hopefully picking up the new body for the project. would you mind sending him a pm and try to get something set up?

now we need to find a 4spd t-case!

Gene,

I've never met you, but I do remember you sending me a FJ40 windshield paper template for my 1969 FJ40 many years ago.

I'm very sorry to see your Land Cruiser like this, but I'm glad you're still alive. I have no doubt that you'll have a nice running LV again soon.

Georg,

Count me in for $100. Thanks for taking the initiative to help a fellow Land Cruiser owner out.
I will mail you a check since you know how I feel about paypal.

Hey everyone. You guys are awesome. I can't believe all of this.

My LV isn't the only thing to crash this week. My wife called today to let me know that our computer also crashed this morning. I was at work this morning at 5am, and off at 9:30 pm. Now I'm at my brothers house (10:35pm) using his computer. Each time I get here and read your post there's more to be blown away by. Thanks so much to all of you. I've gotta get home to my wife and kids (still another 1/2 hour drive), but I'm hoping to have our computer back in a week. I'll find a way to get on here before then.

We will be posting parts 4 sale in the next week I just thought I would wait until Moab was over to give those out enjoying themselfs a chance to make a purchase.

 

[landcrusher909]

Update : Looks like getting a trailer to Vegas will be no problem just let me know when and where. Time will not be a problem so I hope that covers part of you plan. Have a Great Weekend

[Land Cruiser Junky]

Received my first part yesterday. Driver side fender and apron from Butch. Thanks again to all of you.

 

[40Flipper]

Sold my roll cage yesterday. Adding to the fund.

Can't wait to see this whole project unfold. Glad I could be a part of it.

 

[orangefj45]

awesome going so far guys. i think i just located a set of axles that myself and a couple of the locals will go thru and then deliver to the build/wrenching-weekend. i think i also located a 4spd and t-case along with the proper bell housing.


the donations have also started to trickle in. thank you guys so much for your help and generosity!!!!!



bigger and better things to come gene!!!!

 

[Goebeler]

What other parts are going to be needed for this build?
Can someone post up a wish list if cool with Gene?
also
I will send some $ soon and hope I can find some parts that might help as well. I plan to also ebay some parts .

Maybe Woody would do a sticky with the wish list and the donation contact information. It would be easier than people sifting thru this thread cuz I have a feeling this will be one of the longest threads of all time.
