Looks like the Jeep owner murdered Diane - and then tried to toss the evidence in your cruiser?

I was just sharing with @daveb yesterday that I had tried to buy a root beer brown non-op’d early 1970 FJ40 back in ‘89 that I literally missed out on by two minutes. Watched the buyer physically grab the sellers hand and push money into it as I drove around the corner. Karma being what karma is, the buyer abandoned the project two years later and sold it to me for what he’d paid.
The 40 had a full-sized ConFerr roofrack, and the rack had a large wooden footlocker on it. The buyer/now seller was a portly guy, and had never climbed up on the roof to look inside. I did.
Under the kitch camping gear was a bunch of NOS parts in boxes and bags! Brand new driveshaft, brand new transfer case floorshift conversion, brake mc and wheel cylinders, hoses, belts, yada yada.
I surprised myself by walking back to the shelf the floorshift kit was on and pulling it out to show Dave. It was in exactly the same spot that I had put it down 32 years ago!

Similar to Mark’s story, I bought a super rusty FJ55 a couple years ago for the engine and trans (trans is in my 1970 40 now!). We got it home and it was full of packrat poop and skeletons. In some boxes in the back were tons of NOS parts that were purchased in the 80’s and forgotten about. Locking gas caps, stamped Land Cruiser bezel, fst parts. Tons of stuff, so much I forget. Was a cool find.
found some toothpaste and a tin of tylenol from 83. Also 3 packs of fuses and 10,12,14 mm open end wrench’s
An old 1500w Kat's engine heater (Green) aka the “Transmogifier” and a black hole near the vin plate I keep throwing money into..

Reminds me of an old school "Thermos"
I found about 200 holes drilled in the tub hidden under Line-X. They taped each hole with masking tape then sprayed it. It appeared to have had several different bikini tops as evidenced by multiple holes across the top of the windshield frame.
PO owned the ‘rest of my days 40’ from 1984-2014 - He bought it from a Delta airlines pilot who had installed an interesting door handle!
