  1. So I have made a spur of the moment purchase as we all do and this was one of the results, something I've always wanted a short wheelbase fj40 These have become increasingly harder to find especially in Western Australia and when you do its like finding a large gold nugget for one that's in actual drivable condition. It's barely been driven in the last two years as the guy I bought it off got it to drive around, two weeks later he had a bike accident and lost his leg so he wasn't allowed to drive any manual vehicles which really sucks. Awesome guy pretty down to earth moving abroad and he just couldn't use it. He mentioned about 6 people have wanted to look at it all businesses wanting to sell it off for more money but wanted it to go to someone who actually might appreciate it for more than its monetary value. And as you do, I let him actually take it for a spin before he handed the keys over which he thoroughly enjoyed even after I accidentally said give it the stick. So we drove it back about 2-3hrs had no issues expecting the small fuel tank that's basically the base of your seat to need refilling for the small Australian price of $2.15 per liter. Ordered some custom number plates for that authentic show off factor and started to look at the issues I've gotten myself into. For starters the speedo/odometer isn't working - ordered a new one even tho I played around with it and semi had it working, But not worth the hassle. general wear and tear around the body, surface rust etc. nothing to major couple small bubbles and holes around indicator stalks and rear door seal otherwise body is tidy relay that connects the horn and I'm assuming other bits and pieces doesn't work and also fell apart in my hand. Seems hard to find an 80a relay these days. Attempted to put it in 4wd to do a beach run after having to replace every fitting on the air compressor to work, one of the hubs doesn't engage/disengage might need greasing actually putting it into H2, H4 and L4 seems a bit of a mission will probably be the major issue then just bits and pieces for quality of life as it will be more of a daily driver than anything else. Has a list of mods just some quality of life things like a custom box with power, usb, led strips and lights throughout the cab and rear. 9500lb winch, rear air locker, 3inch lift, very much so larger tires which are all near on brand new. Sound system and some add on gauges. completely rebuilt 2F original engine with a 3F head fitted Already replaced the front indicator park light stalks, new door cards on the way among other bits light light covers so they aren't split and faded to the point its only white light. that's it for now, ill slap the discussion thread at the bottom. enjoy some pics I've snapped so far Logo's 1971 Toyota FJ40 Discussion - Project Discussion - oldschool.co.nz
