Started it and ran it today 6/18/15. Drove around the block a few times and it overheated. Determined the problem was the thermostat. I pulled it and dropped it in a pot of water on the stove and as suspected it didn't open. I have a new OEM thermostat and gasket on order and will install it before the rig leaves.

Description
Completely ORIGINAL FJ40. Has 83K original miles. This is a good complete original rig good start for a restoration. It DOES need both passenger side and driver side front floor pans. Minimal rust on the remainder of the vehicle. It does run I've installed a new factory fuel pump. emptied and cleaned out the gas tank. I've run it on jackstands through all the gears both 2X and 4X-everything works. I have not had this very long. I waited for a completely original unit to come up for sale for a restoration project now unforeseen circumstances forces sale. I had planned to drive it around town this summer and then begin the restoration. Everything has been greased oils have been changed in both differentials and transfer case. brakes are good front end seems a little loose and is probably original steering linkage. This is as completely original as they come. All wiring harnesses are intact and not cut up. If you are looking for a restoration project this is a good start.
