Hello there.
Many of you have seen my FJ45 but for family reasons need to do this (more as you read).
I am the second owner of this all original FJ45. It was purchased in 1963 and has a very VERY cool history.
I bought it from the original owner and have upgraded to power brakes and ensured all lights, signals, four wheel drive, and systems work. (Need to purchase a fuel sending unit and the speedo cable works, but is not steady, wobbles).
70,304 original miles. Engine fires right away, no smoking, no leakign (e-brake drum leaks a little after driving it). Everything works. All lights work, everything but speedo wobbly and fuel sending unit is in working order - ORIGINALLY. The power brakes I upgraded with NO CUTTING/WELDING. So, if you wanted to put the single circuit back in - it will bolt back in. I simply like the safety and power of the power brakes.
Shifts smooth, no slop. Again, no smoking fires right up. 4wheel drive works like a champ, about a 3 second vacuum engage and hi/low does not grind or cause issues, it is smooth as well.
You might be wondering about rust. There isn't any. The sheet metal on this rig is 100% original. It was used as a search and rescue rig for the san bernardino county sheriff's office, and parked in a barn from 71 until 98. In 98 it was brought to Colorado Springs where I bought it last year. From 98 to 2008 it was in a shed.
Incredible history, incredible cruiser.
LOCATION - Pocatello, ID (can help deliver or meet up with you).
PRICE - 1977 or 1978 FJ40, Rustic Green. (extra points for a 12/77)
I am perfectly happy with this FJ45, I love it to the core. However family camping trips are difficult. In my FJ40's we fit better with the kids on the jump seats.
Cell is 719-640-4736 if you'd like to chat.

Pictures: Bored.....Decided to mess around with the Camera
In the 45 section, I also have a FOUND! thread that shows what I have fixed and done.
Also - Winch stays with me (sentimental reason).
Thank you,
Dallas
