Yessir, I do have a 40, as do a few other lucky *******s or tormented souls on this thread - because depending on the day it can be either way.

I like the looks of that troopy a lot. I don't know what your expectations are for your fun-west-coat-rig... but it's not even in the same ballpark with the troopy. The 40 is pretty slow and primitive compared to such a later model LC.

I love my little tractor and the fact that is the way a lot of owners describe them should tell you right up front what to expect. Around town or down farm roads they aren't particularly fast, they don't ride the best, they provide only the basic comforts, and they don't fit more than 2 2026 sized adults. That said, they have the soul of a mountain goat and when you pull onto the trail they make you feel like you're leading the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The only thing stops them on a mountain pass is line of admirers who want a closer look. If you choose to work on one yourself you build a reciprocal relationship and the deeper you get into it, the deeper it gets into you. 40s aren't for everybody and even after I bought mine I wasn't certain they were for me, but once I let it take root... I came to love it.

Somewhere between Lajitas and Presidio.



cstav86 from a few pages back. He's totally rebuilt his 2F since this pic was taken.

Kinda regret not buying this FJ that a couple of my friends owned. I think he sold it for $8K

I passed by this one at our local used car lot in Marshall and thought it looked cool.
