You get .40 cents on the dollar.
His was propane. He loved it in the fall and spring. He had a Cape Islander fixed up. We went out the harbour one morning early to meet the QE2. It was like glass.

That's very cool!!

You mean if I pay in CA dollars? Wonder how much that would be. Next question....will it withstand 75 mph on the highway? Guess I forgot to share...I sold 2 trucks and bought a standup 3/4 ton van. I told the kids...DAD's lost what was left of his mind. Just for that they can't ride in it.

Haha, mine was a ‘74, green. That was one tuff truck. The only thing that killed it was the salt up here. I still couldn’t kill it. See we have a lot in common.

I took mine to Turkey and it was the only one in country according to NATO records. Brought it back and put a 350 Chevy in it...sold becasue I was spending lot of time in DC then and it was a pain shifting in traffic...figured I'd get another some day...I want back to the Middle East without it...shed a tear!!

My brother put a electronic ignition in it. It made it work excellent. It was a great vehicle.

Mine was also a 74 FJ 40, with headers. Almost totaled but was repaired.
The company for the 1:24 scale was Motor Max, got mine via Walmart online but many other sellers out there. Ordered the no top version with roll bar but hard top arrived. Good enough for me and Grandson.

Wow, did you get a little more of an angle than the FJ wanted to go ? They are tuff. This is mine. Green.

My first 4 wheeler was a 58 CJ5. I rolled it one night and the windshield didn't survive so from that day I went with out one. I was in florida and we had a lot of bugs and many nights I wished I still had a windshield. Those were wonderful times!!!

We’re going to 50’s tonight and next few days. But a few inches of rain coming with it. I’ll take it over snow any day

Rain is good unless you live in the bottom land. Dad and I are going back out to the cabin this weekend to remove a light pole that ended up in the carport / pavilion. After he decided to move the pavilion, which is better. I wish we had the gravel out there to spread and use my tractor to remove the light pole on the same trip. Ow well?

No snow, all rain here. A couple inches worth. The little snow we got the other day is going to be gone today. Even at the camp in Cape Breton it’s raining. No snowmobiling this year so far. Disappointing for the people that bought new sleds.
They always have snow.

We're into the Spring thaw in mid January...worrying!!! My ice pack is going fast and that's fine for getting from the house to shop but that means the snow is melting in the hills too. We are looking at temps in the upper 30 and into the 40's this weekend. Wish the West coast could keep this snow and rain for the Summer.

Not much snow anywhere this year. Even Newfoundland doesn’t have a lot.
