Ok so our second child is here and were going to try to purchase a home again so something has got to give. Sad to say but its gonna be the 40.
1970 FJ40 unknown milage, Power steering, power drum brakes. Purchased in may of 2011 in California central valley. Very very little rust, a few small bubbles starting to show on the rear sill with a spot or two around the rest of it. It runs great, starts up first time each time. It was repainted at some point. Looks great from 10ft but shows its flaws when you get up close. I have done a ton of work to it since I've had it.
The list in part is:
-OME 2.5" springs and shocks
-31x10.5x15 BFG AT's (06/11)
-Tuffy Console
-OCD bimini(faded now)
-Rebuilt Birfs with kit from cruiser outfitter(with marlin heavy duty inners)
-TRE's from spector
-Folding rear Con-fer seat (will come w long jump seats as well)
-Weather strip kit for the top from CCOT
-All new coolant hoses from spector
-New brake shoes all around w new brake cylinders from CCOT in the rear(all 4)
-Changed all fluids including Diffs, transfer case, trans etc
-PO put an old painless harness in
-I have a stock gauge and speedo cable, just have not hooked up yet.
-Also have the rear heater
Theres more for sure but cant remember as this is all off the top of my head. I have a ton of spare parts as I still have an ongoing list of stuff that needs to be done (front shackle gauge cluster etc). She runs and drives great and is very fun but shes gotta go.
Thanks for the input
