Look forward to watching the project. I have a 1980 BJ40 I am about to start restoring and am interested in following your experience.

Grüsse aus Deutschland. Glückwunsch! Es freut mich, einen FJ zu sehen, der seine Geschichte zeigen darf. Besser als neu renovierte, gibt es genug. Wir haben einen BJ von 1978 in der gleichen Farbe, der irgendwo in Afrika überlebt hat. Wir haben das nötige an der Technik gemacht, die Karosserie brauchte lediglich eine Konservierung. Er läuft im Sommer seit fünf Jahren im Alltag und macht Spass. Ich bin gespannt darauf, zu sehen, wenn du ihn gemacht hast.

Very interesting overview! I owned a ‘76 for many years with lots of off-road miles. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this. Good luck! Regards, Robert Subscribed

I currently have a year-round daily driver 78 FJ40LV-KCJA. I've had 4-78s, 1-71 and 1-63. All of the 78 steel tubs have disintegrated no matter how much prep and under-coating applied. I had enough of that and purchased an Aqualu aluminum 3/4 tub and couldn't be happier, everything else is stock except for headers and power steering. Good luck on your build!

Congrats! I’m digging into a mustard 1978 FJ40 out of Alabama where it spent its whole life, in about the same shape as yours - except already in pieces which makes the clean up work so much easier. Putting it back together will be a fun challenge. Good luck and looking forward to seeing your progress.

Subscribed. Can’t wait to see the progress of this project. I have a 72’ California FJ40 that I purchased two years ago and have been mildly restoring it with my sons. They’re amazing vehicles and were built to survive. I believe the rear heater was either a factory option or a dealer option.

All the best on the journey! I have a Canadian 78 FJ40 about 90% completed after 6 years of pecking away. Was fortunate to get all the documentation including original bill of sale, cancelled check, warranty book and owners manual and service work orders. Looking forward to watching your rebuild. My ADHD wouldn’t allow me to video my resto! 😂 cheers

@@ianglaurie well the good news is you got a US/Federal spec truck vs a South American truck. Just about every part is available from Toyota today…but do it right, keep period touches and if you are a patina fan, keep that and go bonkers on engine, interior and under/chassis. That is the big trend right now here in US for these 40’s (I have a beige 1981 and love it)

Couldn’t agree more it’s when you get cars that have been messed about with a lot over the years that the problems start. I’d rather have rust and original features any day 👍

No issues with assembly for me kzbin.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L but I could see where some might benefit from using an experienced bike assembler/mechanic. I'm an older rider starting back after a 10 year break. This bike exceeds my capabilities and has been easy to get comfortable riding. I'm mostly on easy trails with almost no street riding and have not been disappointed with the performance of the bike. My fitness level is far below what I previously rode with and because of that the mileage is going on the bike slowly. While I'm losing weight slowly, the bike seems to tolerate my 220 pounds just fine. The bike has been used by several family members ranging from 5'5" - 5'9".
