I Purchased "a new to me" 1979 Toyota FJ40

By

This 1979 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 reportedly spent time in Washington and North Carolina before being brought to Idaho by the seller eight years ago. It is finished in yellow with a white roof over a gray vinyl interior, and power comes from a 4.2-liter 2F straight-six linked with a four-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case. Additional equipment includes a 2″ lift kit with Old Man Emu suspension components, an aftermarket stereo, a roll bar, and 15″ steel wheels. This FJ40 is now offered with an owner’s manual and a clean Idaho title in the seller’s name.


The truck is finished in Mustard Yellow with a white roof on the removable hardtop and features a vented hood and ambulance-style rear doors. Factory 15” steel wheels are finished in white and wear stock hubcaps and BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain tires. A matching spare is mounted on the swing-out rear carrier, and the front axle is equipped with manually-locking hubs and disc brakes. A two-inch lift kit has reportedly been added, and an Old Man Emu sticker is affixed to the rear leaf springs.

The interior features gray vinyl-upholstered front bucket seats with adjustable headrests as well as a roll bar and inward-facing rear benches. Black vinyl mats protect the floors, and an aftermarket Pioneer stereo fitted in the center console area is paired with two speakers in the cargo area. A stock three-spoke steering wheel sits in front of a body-colored dash that houses an 80-mph speedometer that contains a five-digit odometer that is stuck at 37k miles, approximately 500 of which were added by the seller. True mileage is unknown.

The 4.2-liter 2F straight-six sends power to the rear or all four wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case.

Blowing My Mind

Items that I have collected,  in no particular order,  that  BLOW MY MIND. I have been collecting and writing down information that blows my mind. Here is a list, in no particular order, of information that I have picked up shortly after I was born in 1958. It is crazy how much information that has changed or is changing as I grow older. The Universe In no particular order: The universe was created 13.8 billion years ago. Big Bang - Only two elements were formed one million of a millionth of a millionth of a second after the big bang. Because of heat after the big bang these two elements were created. 1. 75% hydrogen  2. 25% helium 400 million years after the big bang, the stars are formed under extreme heat. The stars start to fail and explode which created carbon, oxygen, iron, nitrogen cooked and then exploded. E=MC² shows that Energy and Mass are interchangeable which is how energy turned into elements or mass. The earth is 4.543 billion years old. Life on ea...

Capilano Suspension Bridge and Park Purchased  by George MacKay in 1889, the 6,000 acres of forest had a beautiful Capilano river flowing right through the middle of the property. George and his team pulled ropes across the river and erected a suspension bridge. Tam is standing on the Cliffwalk which is 30 stories above the river.  I am on the Cliffwalk and removed the people in the photo with Google Photos Edit application.    Raptors are brought in to show and educate the visitors. A lady sat with this bird on her glove speaking with anyone that would listen. Very cool.  Tam standing on the porch of a 150 year old house cut from logs in the area.  Tam walking over the suspension bridge. The bridge is 450 feet (137 meters) long and moves a lot.  Stanley Park Great place to bike ride and walk along the sea wall. Stanley Park is almost 1,000 acers (400 hectares) in downtown Vancouve...
