New Member checking in from Tehachapi, CA
« on: Mar 29, 2013, 12:36:53 PM »
Hey all! :wave: New to the forum, been interesting so far. Started a post in FJ Tech, had 4 posts, lost em. Now I'm here to start over I guess. :therethere: I own a 77 FJ40 which is not a rock crawler, but it is a fun trail rig, and daily driver. Mostly stock with the 6 cylinder 2F and 4 speed tranny. It has a 4" leaf spring lift with 33 x 10.5's. Many of u out there in my league of four wheeling?

I'm actually on here to try and appeal to all you FJ40 enthusiasts out there, and get my Cruiser on the Classifieds forum. I'm new to the forum thing, in that I'm not typically one who comments on these. I have always used them to read others comments and ideas on something I'm working on at the time; lots of good information. Anyway, have to get 13 posts in order to get it listed in the classifieds forum, so till then here are a couple more pics:

Thanks, I've tried to take good care of it. When not on a trail, it sits in it's own garage I built.
