My 78 is very close in color to the 6h9. Interesting the Toyota dealer near me is not interested in selling me anything. I have tried a few times and am always disappointed with them. Your work is amazing. I can only hope my 78 is half as nice as this one
Love your shop. I owned a 79 LC FJ40 in the 80s and drove it to HS and College. Mine was dark olive. Wish I had never sold it. So much fun. Interesting parts are still available from Toyota. Those turn signal market lights on the fenders were notorious for the base mount cracking as it was made from plastic as I recall. Do you guys do any upgrades to the base smog setup on these LCs and do you open up the jetting in the carburetor to flow more fuel? The 2Fs were pretty anemic as I recall. I am in my late 50s now and still have a burning desire to get back into a 40 series LC.
@@Supercruze I’m jealous! I didn’t get into Land Cruisers until I had graduated from college and was teaching elementary school. I don’t have any early Fj40 memories, but I am making up for it now! We offer quite a few upgrades to the original 2F engine, and with a five speed, they get an FJ40 along pretty well. It’s never too late to jump back in. Lots of good Land Cruisers for sale out there including some on our website in the for sale section. There’s an amazing sky blue Fj40 on there right now, and a 1978 survivor Fj40 that needs a good home.
As always very enjoyable 👍
Beautiful work as usual. That 6h9 color looks great. I like the roll bar light addition. Dave
@@bigwavedave321 thank you for watching and for the comment!
One day you are young and another you match your shirt with your ride 😂 ❤ good video
I use the same battery in my 1975 with a Mosely rebuilt 2F with a Sniper and Hyperspark. Works great.
My 78 is very close in color to the 6h9.
