Hey guys,

Well, I got a new toy about a week ago...

I have been looking for a '75 or later FJ40 for about a year now, and finally found this one over Christmas break. My dad and I went up to MA to pick it up last week over my spring break. I know it isn't the prettiest one ever, but it was in my price range. It will be a long project for me, but when it's done, it will be awesome (I hope! ) I'm planning on doing a full restoration. This won't be a trail rig, but rather a toy for my own personal enjoyment. My 4Runner is pretty much able to satisfy all of my current off-roading needs/desires, so I'm not planning on making this into a rock crawler or anything. Well, let me know what y'all think. Take care guys-

That Landcruiser looks nice, I hope you have fun restoring. I bet you will have fun restoring it Goodluck on your project

 

Hmmm... I have only one question: did you tow it with your 4Runner? :beaver: :beaver: :beaver:

Extremely jealous here. It looks AWESOME man, wish I had one too!

Ya, of course, my 3.0L had no problem towing it...haha, ya right!

We borrowed a friends' 2000 F-250 to pull it. I think that the cruiser weighs approx. 4000 lbs, so my 4Runner definitely wouldn't have been able to handle that. Besides, the trailer was pretty heavy too, so it was a good thing we were able to use his truck to tow it.

 

That thing looks awesome. Real nice find. One question though. The picture says unloading in PA? Where in PA is that at? Thanks. :fireman:

 

Hmmm...now wouldn't you like to know??!!

It is at my Grandma's house currently, which is in northwestern PA, in the Oil City/Franklin area - about 2 hours north of Pittsburgh.

 

looks nice.How many people can fit it it?

 

4 - two in front seats and 2 in the rear jump seats

 

Need someone to go babysit it?

 

Haha, sure Cebby....and if you really feel like helping me out, you can put a new tub in for me!!

Next time I head up that way (and go through Pittsburgh), I'll have to get in touch with you so we can link up or something.

 

Looks like you found a real good find. Thats a good year for them too. Whats the rust situation? Bottom of doors and rear corners? Im in the slow search looking for one under 2500 that i can beat around witht he top down and do some gwnf trails in.

 

Very nice.. dare we ask how much $$

 

Actually, it will need some body work. Lower doors, rear wheel wells, some front floorboard work. I'm toying with the idea of buying a whole new tub, but we'll see how funds work out.

And Lee, I paid $2K for it.
