  • This is just a quick walk around of my 1971 Toyota FJ40. My grandfather bought this in 1972 or 1973. I learned to drive in this Land Cruiser. There has been a LOT of blood, sweat and tears associated with this. Because of that, it is my pride and joy. I hope you enjoy the video.
    Once again, I'd like to thank Rustmine for allowing me to use their music in my video. Check them out at rustmine.com/

    You have an amazing FJ40, thank you for sharing your build. I will never stop searching for one of my own someday, the problem with living in the north east is the salt. Most back yard finds are rotted very badly. Maybe one day we will stumble into one. Cheers

    Congratulations , I also have a blue one with a white top. Here in Brazil it is called "'Bandeirante" and it comes with a 3.8 diesel engine.

    Nice off road ride! It has a great family history. Mine's a '77 FJ40 with only minor suspension improvements and a header system to get the exhaust pipe above the frame rail. Owned since 1983.

    WOW She is beautiful. Great job. I had a chance to buy one when I was 16 for $6000. Nothing worked on her but the body was perfect. The back windows are etched in my mind. The guy selling her smartened up and decided to keep her. Beautiful baby keep taking great care of her.

    Hey I don't know if you remember me but a couple years ago I pulled up to where you work in my step dads Tesla because we saw this rig parked outside. I'm 19 now, still daily driving my 1973 fj40 in the same color!! So crazy I found this video lol. I knew it was you because the thumbnail Pic is all over ih8mud

    • @aussiedoggarage5779
      @aussiedoggarage5779  3 роки тому +1

      If you have larger than stock tires, power steering is definitely worth it. I wheeled a couple of years with 33x12.50s with manual steering, and it beats you up.

      @@aussiedoggarage5779 yep! They're pretty rare over here. Kind of a shame. The only complaint that I have ever had about my Heeler is that she's got too much white on her for my taste. Black and tan is the "right" color IMO. Even with as many Heelers as there are in Florida, sourcing decent puppies is not easy.
