Howdy y'all. Life has thrown some S balls my way so I am posting up my 1971 FJ40 for sale to see if anyone wants to finish my project there way. I've spent about a year stripping the interior of bedliner.. taking off the diamond plate rear quarter panel and finding a bunch of bondo..stripping all the bondo. Welding tons of holes. Cut out a couple cancer spots and welded in new sheet metal. Been taking my time not rushing things but now my time is running out 🙃

If someone wants a V8 FJ40 that has been well loved and is in the final stages before paint it is a great cruiser.

I am gonna raptorline the inside and out after 2k epoxy primer. After finding years of dents, bruises and holes I don't want to bondo over. I've embraced the bruises and was going full utilitarian function over paint. Someone could get new quarter panel skins and make it look perfect or do what they want.

I have tons of pics and video clips of all the work I've been doing. I could send serious buyers.

$10k I can walk away. Any less isn't worth it to me.
I know I'll probably end up finishing it my way and keeping it but if anyone would like a bit of a project cruiser this may be perfect for you.
Ran great before I tore it down. 4 wheel disk breaks. 4 new 35 inch procomp xtreme mt2 tires. A full size spare. Swing out tire carrier.

New shocks, new stainless steel bolts and nuts to put fenders, bib, grill and bezel back on.

Lots of info in my craigslist add. To much to list.
🥃🤙
 
Lots of work going on. Inside side of doors painted black. Gas tank painted black. Inside of fenders sprayed with black bedliner.

Frame and undercarriage has be painted with por 15.

Spraying epoxy primer and raptor liner today if it's not to hot.

Don't spray of with raptor if your selling it. The next owner might not want it.

People love raptorliner on landcruisers 😀 I have a buyer coming for it Saturday who wants it in epoxy primer and he will take it straight to the body shop to paint a factory color.

If sale falls through I will finish it my way and keep it forever like I planned. I'm moving to the jungle. Its not gonna be a garage museum piece that gets driven on sundays to the mall with all the JK guys. All the restomod and raptor liner haters will cringe at the thought of a 52 year old vehicle being used daily in severe weather conditions. This is going to be wheeling everyday til it dies with me. Pulling trees I cut down, moving large boulders. Having tools put in the back and being used 12 hours a day while tropical farming.

That is why I chose to por 15 the undercarriage and raptor the tub and body. Extreme conditions are coming for my cruiser if the buyer pulls out.

I agree with you. For resale purposes don't raptorline it but for my needs and use it makes more sense then paint. 🥃🤙
 
Body and tub have been sprayed in 2k epoxy. 5/26. If my buyer falls through on 5/28 it gets raptorlined 5/29 and I will reassemble and keep it and curse myself forever posting such for sale adds. L
 
Sold $15k. To a non mud member. Got in a bidding war. And Mr one upper decided to step it up from my $10k asking price She will be missed.
