    It's too bad most FJ owners don't restore to this level of excellence. Although if they did it would make finding one for cheap damn near impossible.

    Can you show me the detail of the circuit panel and the mounting location?

    I am about to rebuild my fJ - I am going with a Chevy 5.3 l33 and auto trans. I like the circuit panel idea.

    Very nice and clean build :drool:. If prices keep rising you will probably be able to make a pretty penny one day. Not that you couldn't right now. Sell it to jay leno!

    Such a nice build. Pretty sure I saw a much longer build thread over on ih8mud? I love the color too!

    I keep looking for a fj40. Just seems like either people want way to much or its rusted and beat to crap.
