i just bought an FJ Cruiser and purchased an FJ 40 in 1973 for $3900. I sold the same car here in Colorado in 2004 for $7800. I put 326,000 miles on that beauty. Rebuilt it once. It had a mechanicaln wench on it and it was left pretty much stock. So far I absolutely LOVE my new FJ- although there is not much of a relationship between the two. I mean there are obviously some like design considerations- but let's face it- as much as I loved my old FJ 40- it was a grueling ride. However, on the plus side, reliable as anything that's ever hit a Colorado mountain trail. For the thirty plus years I owned that vehicle, it resided in Denver and in Summit County Colorado above 9100 feet.
