I'd bid on it, but it would be like pissing in the wind.

It’s a trying time for that week…you’re hoping for a good outcome. You’re checking the site and direct contact emails and some folks are like…” I asked a question but never heard from the seller”… makes you nuts as you only have the greatest intentions
Youve certainly made a royal entrance!

Corsetti giving props on BAT... Nice.
This is absolutely awesome. I’m so appreciative, inspired, jealous, envious of all the effort and details you’ve put into this. I want to embark on a journey like this - maybe not spread over 10 years 
.
I recently acquired a 1969 FJ40 from South America….. I know, I know, hold the jokes - - but it’s starting from a (slightly) better position then this rig from WV!
I have so, so, so many questions! Let’s start with - - where do you source the cover over the fuel filling inlet pipe? That part seems impossible to source.

NLA is unobtainium. Make one is about the only option. 3D printing could work, then reinforce it with a layer of fiberglass or maybe a section of like 3in aluminium of sprinkler line.

Thank you, the extended timeframe was a little more budget and sanity friendly.This is absolutely awesome. I’m so appreciative, inspired, jealous, envious of all the effort and details you’ve put into this. I want to embark on a journey like this - maybe not spread over 10 years

Alot of the parts can be found used in clean condition, you just need to know where to look. Mud Classified, Marks Offroad, Classic Cruisers , Cruiser Corp, Facebook, Valley Hybrids…….
@COLtoUSAFJ40 WELCOME! you have come to the right place…there is a collection of people here who could teach Toyota a few things about Land Cruisers from the ‘60’s -‘80’s. YOU'RE GONNA LOVE IT!
I was told when I joined MUD. “pictures or it didn’t happen”…look forward to seeing your project

Thank you! Glad to be here. If there’s any folks in the central Indiana region that like to teach me a few things, or point me to shops that specialize in LC’s…. Sure would appreciate to make the connections.

I don't spend any time on BAT because I don't have the space, budget, or time for another car.
The thing that surprises me is the number of 40/45s that are on sale. Reading the descriptions, many have been owned less that 2 years. Are these guys regularly "flipping" 40s or is this just a busy time for selling 40s. (Or is this a regular thing?) Like this one:
bringatrailer.com
Having watched from afar the work y'all put in on this rig, I really hope you can get a great outcome. This one is a prize and deserves to go to someone who will appreciate it. (And hopefully, your work will be rewarded.)
Cheers!
