I have all of the factory springs, u bolts/hardware etc. to completely convert this vehicle back to it's original condition. Including the shocks and 5 BFG All-Terrain LT 235/75R15 tires that are like new. All of it goes with the vehicle, unless the new owner doesn't want it.

Every factory spot weld is visible, and the entire vehicle has 4 fresh coats of wax on it. It has factory undercoating, except under the front fenders which were repainted it's original color. The original antennae is installed under the arrow (just slides right off). Forgot to remove it for the pictures. Front HFS bumper holds the vintage Heavy Duty Warn 8274 8000 LB. winch (dated 08/21/1977) in excellent condition, (comes with remote) and vintage fog lights that work perfectly. (Comes with the factory front bumper as well, see picture). Stock rear bumperettes and 2" ball on the hitch for towing. Has the "old-school" 4 prong light adapter.

All gauges, lights, high-beam indicator light, heater, fan, rear heater, defrost, wipers, windshield washer squirter, "beep-beep" horn, interior light, lighter, seat belts, windows, doors and locks work as they should. Even the "Fasten seat belts" light and buzzer work when you start it up. The dash has never been drilled or cut. Switches for the fog lights and off-road lights are all nicely mounted in the factory holes in the dash. The factory emergency glove box light is in the glove box and has the original emergency light plug-in. All seals for the top and windshield are in excellent shape.

I also have a vintage FJ40 Best-Top Soft-Top with doors and all the hardware that comes with the vehicle. I have not installed it, but thought I might use it one day.

Top off in the Spring and Summer, Top on for Fall and Winter. Don't miss your opportunity to own this famous classic vintage vehicle that will only gain value year after year!
