The FJ45 has been recovered! The CHP found it along with many other stolen vehicles at a tweaker house in Grayson, Ca. The parts that were with it are gone, but the 45 is intact and unmolested.
Georg @orangefj45 rescued it from the tow yard and it's now safe and sound.
I can't thank him enough for rearranging his day with no notice to pick it up from the tow yard. The LC community is awesome!
The FJ40 is still out there. And now we know it's still in Norcal somewhere...

I am beyond depressed having to write this post...
Last weekend (April 4-5) thieves cleaned out a building where my 1966 FJ45 LPB and my 1973 FJ40 were stored. They took everything in the building both vehicles, a large pile of parts, two trailers, a tractor, tools, etc.
The location was Gustine Ca., near Los Banos in the central valley. The theft wasn't discovered until yesterday.
Please put the word out. As you all know, these are rare vehicles and I have no idea if the thieves even knew what took. It was not running and waiting for it's restoration day.
Please contact me directly by PM or text at 408, 406, 9629 if you hear of anything. I am incredibly bummed
