blue or yellow!???! your color kicks ass! is it still stock or has it already been re-painted??? and i quote greater mudders than myself "its only original once" btw i dont see an introduction thread https://forum.ih8mud.com/search.php?searchid=5445206

i want to see more pics of this 40

 

[edin351]

What was that link? it didnt work.

and pictures are at photobucket.com/edin351

right now it's just spray painted and i live in chicago and we use salt a lot...so i'd like to get it a paint job and protect it against some rust. i do like the beige too and I am thinking about keeping it that color...but i'm young (17 yrs old) and I kinda want something a little louder

This was originally mustard and repainted but the match came out a brighter yellow

 

[edin351]

hmmm...i'm looking for maybe something a little brighter than that yellow, thank you though!!

its a link to the threads you have started works when i click on it.... w/e

cruiser looks good! why the turn signals on the side and not the fender??

can you take more pics of your front shackles?

I'm not sure why the previous owner did that, i actually just got it in october. i've always wanted an FJ Cruiser and ended up gettin the 40 and i absolutely love it. The PO spent 12k in the restoration and it shows.

I will try to remember to take some pictures...went back to school today so it might be a little crazy but i'll try.

and this one i saved years ago off of mud. if i remember some one spotted it in a parking lot at a hotel or something. i just really liked the color and kept it for future reference.

Friend's 40, looks great in person. Think it's a factory code, I could ask him if interested.
