We are auctioning our 1975 FJ40. We built this beast two years ago specifically for a trip to Big Bend National Park where we used it to climb mountains and take on miles and miles of off-road trails. The good the bad and the ugly: Good - Original 2F Engine runs strong and cranks right up every time. Original 4 speed trans and transfer case function perfectly. We took it down to bare metal and removed all of the rust, but I'm not a body man so a lot of the holes were filled with filler. The larger holes were patched with sheet metal. It has a two year old paint job; hand rolled Monstaliner protects the exterior and interior from the elements. New Bestop Seats, all gauges work, fairly new BFG 35's. New warrior half doors. New Bestop Bikini Top. Bad - This FJ40 was lifted by the previous owner flipping the axles under the springs. This worked well but caused steering to the left to be a bit of a challenge. The turning radius to the right is much better. One of the prior owners welded the rear-end so it is locked all the time. This is no big deal but it does chirp a bit around corners on the road. Ugly - The engine bay was not detailed or painted to match the body. There is minor surface rust on the roll bar. We took it down to bare metal and painted it with a bed liner/undercarriage paint, but it didn't really do the trick. This would be an easy fix. We don't have the hard top. We have full doors but they are in need of restoration. If you want a full top, Cruiser Corps in OKC can get you the necessary used parts for about $2400. The u-joint makes a noise when not under load. It may be a pinion issue but it doesn't affect the functionality of the vehicle. We have driven over 500 miles with no issues at all. Seller reserves the right to end the auction early as the vehicle is also listed locally. Buyer is responsible for shipping.
