78' FJ40. Started its life in Mountain Home Idaho and never left
the state, at least for too long. I acquired this rig a year and a
half ago from the family of the gentleman that restored it. He had
owned it for 29 years. It has multiple modifications and upgrades
throughout the years, I'll do my best to list them all. *Chevy
Small block conversion with the original 4 speed transmission.
*Power steering modification. *Disc brake conversion all four
wheels *3" Old Man Emu lift *Gearing was re-done down to 4:55 I
believe. Currently has Yukon pneumatic selectable locker. *Upgraded
interior seats. The rear jump seats were replaced with a bench.
Driver side seat rail was modified to allow taller drivers more leg
room. * Tuffy lockable center console installed *Warn Winch. Model
M8274, CB radio and antenna will come with the rig. * 32" Mickey
Thompson MTZ P5s Installed on 17" Stealth Custom Series "Dark
Bronze" wheels. * Aftermarket telescopic side view mirrors. I still
have the originals which will go with the sell * After market
steering wheel is installed but I also have the original steering
wheel which can be swapped out if you so please. * The rear tire
carrier has a custom basket to fit a Yeti 45 cooler. * A Vintage
Air A/C unit was installed. aA custom aluminum radiator installed.
This thing does NOT get hot, The Cruiser was stripped down to the
frame in 2015. Two years later it finally met pavement (and trails)
again after being "restored". During that the previous owner fixed
and replaced body panels that had acquired rust over the years. The
body was repainted The original Mustard Yellow and put back
together. It is a VERY clean and reliable rig. It has just over 96K
miles on the odometer and I have a stack of papers, receipts, and
driving log that account for this 40's life for the last 29 years.
All that being said it is not a car show princess. It does have
minor dings and scratches, it is still driven and used from time to
time.
