<<UPDATE>>
The FJ45 was recovered 2/8/21. It was intact and unmolested. It was found at a tweaker house in Grayson, Ca.
The FJ40 is still out there and now we know that it is very likely still in Norcal.
Please keep an eye out as it will show up somewhere, sooner or later.
More details on the FJ40:
The roll bar, bezel, hood latches and center console are metallic blue. It has a Marlin Toybox in it with a cross member under it. It has a Iron Pig Off-road skid plate. Rancho 9000 shocks, white in front, silver in back. The SOA was done old school from back before anybody sold kits. It has a Mudrak York mount on the 2f. ARB in both diffs. Air tank under the rear. Rear disk with FZJ80 master. Sliders that are designed to look like oem steps.

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, FJ45s 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
