I'd save it! Is it cheap?
If you don't want it, I could come and get it. It looks like a big project

Man, as tempting as it would be, do you really have the time and money to do anything with it? Seriously, you're looking at hundreds of hours and tens of thousands of dollars to get it back into shape.
It comes down to: can you afford that kind of investment?

well, im going to drag it home and see what the damage is. I'd be doing all the work also. maybe farm out transfer case and motor freshening. other than that i've been a body shop flunkie for afew years and also done my fare share of being a hired wrench so nothing really scares me. the beauty of the fj is that the mechanics are as simple as they come.

well i havent paid anything for it. it will end in a trade of some sort. alarm starter in a vehicle or maybe some wrenching on some other old junk. the p.o. of the cruiser has about 40 vehicles around the lot where the cruiser is. My boss got a 64 biscane well optioned for 50$ and some other 60's 4 door wreck that runs and drives for 100$

Oh man, I always have a soft spot for basket cases like that. I'd think about a motor swap, looks like it's been sitting for years with the valve cover off just taking in the weather. Glad your going to save the old girl, keep us posted.
Any idea what year it is?

I think it would be kinda cool to swap the body on to a 3rd or 4th gen 4runner chassis

Drive train is very similar to the 40 series cruisers, body parts are hard to come by. Keep it.

Oh, the humanity . . .
Just kidding. Man, if you have the time and coin to bring that truck back to life, my hat's off to you. You have the beginning photos of an incredible before-and-after album.

Nice find. I'd say go for it and see what you can do.

Oh man, your lucky to get something like that. It needs a full restoration basically but it will be fun...right? lol
I think later on in life i will try to find an older Land Cruiser. Don't get discouraged and keep at it.

Spring it over and wheel the piss out of it? Or bring it to the island...
Review Buckroseau's thread on mud if you have not already. Happy reading! You will need a couple days. http://forum.ih8mud.com/fj45-owners-...to-thread.html By the way don't farm out the t-case, they are super easy. Post a build thread please.

Ya, I noticed the styling plywood...
Roof looks like it has had a little snow on it eh? Might be worth getting a running doner for engine, 4 spd with a real shifter, tcase and axles (front disc). It may be better to find a front axle with half decent brakes than to replace the shoes and pistons on those front drums.

You should just keep the thing stock on the outside and mechanically but some power leather seats and power steering(if it doesnt have it already), a dvd moniter in the rear, and a good sound system and this:http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PU...s/AVH-P4000DVD
that would make it the ultimate classic land cruiser
