Wrong color?

[chuckost]

Is it possible that my 9/77 build date 1978 fj40 is actually dune beige and not beige originally? Color charts I've seen say no, but???

Just found my original window sticker and it says Dune Beige.
Color charts wrong???

If VIN tag says 416 it was originally dune beige. Many of the color charts are wrong as 416 dune beige was offered until July 1980.

Need some pics.

Btw - great color.

Thanks I've wondered about that for years! I'll find a picture.

What he said.

Those orange stripes are great.

We need more recent pics!

Nice pic!!! Love the strap roof rack... Definitely 80's by how your nephew looks

Would love to see more pictures of the paint job. Thinking of adding some retro striping when I repaint.

Here's a good thread of other stripes

@chuckost you need to post more up in this thread: Striped 40?

I agree on the value of this pic.

It needs to be in this thread (if it's not already placed there):
FJ40 Pics from "Back in the day" (70's, 80's)

I added this picture to the stripes thread also. Check the rhino heads!
