Beautiful Cruiser! I've had a '74 FJ40 since I was a sophomore in high school (It was actually my first vehicle). Nothin beats the relief/excitement that comes when you start it up after a huge project
Thats cool because I actually am a sophomore too and have spent my life savings on a 75 fj and now I am getting it to the point of making it a daily driver, reliability and such. There is nothing better then working on your own car =)
Nice, the New FJ cruisers have absolutely nothing on these old FJ40s. This vehicle was Japans answer to both Americas Jeep and Britians Land Rover. These things are rugged. I wish I could find one for sale. The FJ cruiser is nothing more then a Retro styled Tundra or whatever its based on. You can take a FJ40 to hell and back and it would just take the abuse in stride. The cruiser would throw in the towel half way to hell.
It's mostly a 1972, but the frame is a 77 or 78. It's sprung over with stock 40 springs in front and stock 60 springs in the rear, so probably around 6-7" of lift. The tires are 35" MTRs - I originally wanted to go with 37s, but they were backordered indefinitely. The wheelwells were cut but we rounded the lip to make it look factory.
i recently got a 82 bj42 , it had been sitting for 6 years , cranked no worries
