She was dusty so I gave her a rinse.
Adjusted the valves, and started the brake bleed.

Almost finished!

Lots of little things to do still...

Especially a cut and buff!

99% finished with the 1980 cowl dismantle. Will try to salvage the dash pad support, defroster ducts, and windshield hold down brackets yet.....and one more door hinge half. Once I figure out what I need to keep the rest will be posted in the classifieds. The most interesting things were the Auto Body decal and the OEM speaker, which is the 1st one I have seen in 30 years

Kimo, you've got a great looking BJ40! Can you post some m ore pics? Id like to see the back door configuration and the interior. Whats the back story on the rig? TIA

Thanks! I’ll put together a full intro thread one day. Honestly I don’t know many details on the back story. I inherited/purchased this rig from my dad. He bought it around 5 years ago from someone up in Alaska. He has ZERO information from the previous owner. So I have been lurking around this site trying to answer many of my own questions. Here’s a few pics in the meantime 🍻

@Drake2 that section right around the radio cut out is always in popular demand, careful not to bend it up too much.

Really???? Never heard of anyone looking for the radio section of the dash.

I bought a whole dash for just that little section! PO's cut them out to put regular sized radios in.

WOW........maybe someday I can have one that looks that good :hmm:. How is that even possible to look that good??? I have no doubt it looks better now than it did brand new on the showroom floor.
 
@Jpilot Well a colored top is original on all US spec 45s LWB and SWB and LVs for that matter. Toyota did not start painting the tops on 45s white until I believe around 1970. So I was shooting for originality ;)
