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.

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! Any thoughts of adding a winch to the front bumper area?

I had one on my seventy one FJ. However, I was running Alaska backcountry with that rig. I’m undecided whether to add one on this rig as I am now retired in Bama.

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!
