1972 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser Project: Pt 1 First Wash In 10 Years!!

New long term project here at Beard's Garage. 1972 Toyota Land Cruiser. Parked under a carport for the last 10 years or so. First look and first wash, follow along as we restore this FJ40 and get it back on the road!

Hey Beard! (don’t know your first name). It’s old man Jim, farm and ranch broker in Powell Butte, Oregon. You commented on a comment I made about shooting a video about me wanting to shoot a video about small farmers and ranchers in my area that I posted on another channel. I subscribed to your channel and saw this great Fj40 video. When I was 25 years old I purchased a brand new Fj55 Wagon off the showroom floor at Broadway Toyota in Portland. Cost me $9,000 and had 78 miles on the odometer. I sold it for some unknown reason in 1983. How I wish I still had that truck today. Body would likely be rusted, as they all did, but I loved that beast. Best you you…Jim
