Well, as I have mentioned previously, I have been in the process of a frame up restoration of a 1969 FJ 40 for a few years now. It is finally complete.

Very nice.

Beautiful and well done! But it's not authentic until I can see an oil slick underneath!

Are you sure you’re not thinking of a Rover? Toyotas are not known for
Leak problems.

They had the right idea making the transmission bolt right up to Chev 235 six cylinder. I know some guys who dropped 283 V8 in those but it required substantial modification.

Very nice! Any thoughts of adding a winch to the front bumper area?

I had one on my seventy one FJ. However, I was running Alaska backcountry with that rig. I’m undecided whether to add one on this rig as I am now retired in Bama.

Same color as my first FJ40, bought new in 1972 ($3800 out the door). I've had five TLCs since, including my current 2001 100 series and my 1993 FZJ73 - a six cylinder diesel. For over 50 years I have owned Landcruisers!
Congratulations on a very nice 'Cruiser!

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
