Take a ride. (71 FJ40) (1 Viewer)

[SFROMAN]

Anybody want to take a ride with me tomorrow Saturday morning?

I am headed out to the coast so about 3 hours there and 3 hours back.

I might or might not be picking up something with my truck and car hauler. So I might need some help or just some company would be cool.

Let me know
Thanks

Yeah for sure. Just hit me up on a weekend.

If you can pick me up and drop me off I'm more then happy to tag along

 

[S.CarolinaFZJ80]

What did you pickup?

 

[Porter]

I saw something white on a trailer while leaving the neighborhood for dinner tonight... fill us in!

 

[SFROMAN]

Well here it is. 1971 fj40. I had to use my 83 first gen rims and tires in order to move the 40 on the trailer.

Oh, awesome. So I see you got the one Mrs. @mtweller shared to the FB group! Congrats.

 

[S4Cruiser]

Very cool!! White on a 40 looks so good.

 

[angerhater]

[jfz80]

And a 2f

Nice project.

So this Facebook thing can help score cruisers...maybe I should sell my soul to the devil. Resist, resist, resist.

 

[little_joe]

Looks pretty awesome, Del - nice score! I'll look forward to seeing it soon; may have some parts you can use.

Resist. The only reason I have book of the face is to keep in touch with my family when I’m away.

By the time Ramon’s wife posted it the 40 was already sold.

So this is a different truck, or you had already seen it elsewhere?

 

[SFROMAN]

S

same truck. It was sold to a TLCA member from CA. But he backed out after he bought it. I bought it from him. But it never transferred owner.

 

[SFROMAN]

Here is a better picture. Spent most of the day cleaning it out. It was moldy and dirty as hell.
It is a 1971
Project name is MELISSA becuase just like my wife it hasn’t ran since 1996. Haha

I am going to hold of on any type of build thread considering I probably won’t be messing with this thing until after my rubicon trip this summer and when I finally finish the white first gen.

So for now I will just post a few pictures here.
