Well, as I have mentioned previously, I have been in the process of a frame up restoration of a 1969 FJ 40 for a few years now. It is finally complete.

Beautiful and well done! But it's not authentic until I can see an oil slick underneath! ;)

Are you sure you’re not thinking of a Rover? Toyotas are not known for
Leak problems.
 
Outstanding job. Well done.
 
They had the right idea making the transmission bolt right up to Chev 235 six cylinder. I know some guys who dropped 283 V8 in those but it required substantial modification.
 
Very nice ! Love how it turned out!
 
Wow, what a nice looking ride!!
 
Very nice! Any thoughts of adding a winch to the front bumper area?
 
Same color as my first FJ40, bought new in 1972 ($3800 out the door). I've had five TLCs since, including my current 2001 100 series and my 1993 FZJ73 - a six cylinder diesel. For over 50 years I have owned Landcruisers!

Congratulations on a very nice 'Cruiser!

Of course that too, but I figured any vehicle eligible for Social Security should have an oil leak for authenticity. Beautiful vehicle, probably don't need a winch for Alabama.
 
Super nice! Looks like the original three-speed?

Hello,

I saw your post selling left hand rifles. Do you have any additional pics of the .416 Rem mag?

Thank you.
