Is there no vin plate? Or am
I just looking in the wrong spot for a 72?

Hmm. I don't see one, either. If I recall, it should be on the PS above the blower.

Yeah that is what I was thinking too. Wonder what the story is.

The Vin plate is on the drivers side interior of the cowl. Right near the door hinge. I know there is also typically one on the inside fender. The one on the Cowl is what I have always looked for. The only thing that matters is the frame VIN stamp though. That is what you check with the title.

ID plate on the door isn’t a vin plate unfortunately. That will never count. The frame stamp would work if you had to go for a state patrol inspection, but not at just the dmv.The Vin plate is on the drivers side interior of the cowl. Right near the door hinge.

I know you have had more then me. I have owned 3 FJ40's and going over the pictures all I have ever had is the ID Plate. My current one also has a plate on the fender but that is just a small one
When I bought my 2nd 40 with an out of state title, the DMV looked at the one you call ID plate. I have always known that to be the VIN plate, but again that was my assumption as that is all my 40's had

Here is the small one on the inside fender

per SOR there are two tags. The one I have on my door frame and the one I have on the fender
But the older FJ40s had theirs on the firewall 1967 and older

Interesting. You learn something new every day. I don’t remember how the LV was set up, but all my current 40’s are on the firewall. They are 77 & newer though. At the dmv, they’ve always said they can only do a vin inspection on the firewall, and if I have to use the frame, I would have to go to the state patrol in Golden for inspection. I just figured that was true across all years....

If that thing runs, that may be a great deal. I wonder what the condition of the camper is. Could be a good project to get everything in working condition.

Been chatting with the seller, possibly a DD for Megan. But figured I post here. Seems like a pretty good deal.
360K maintained at Lexus until 300k timing belt at 280 I think.

Well it’s in great shape. If we needed a big old land cruiser to DD this would be it. I don’t know much about the engine in this thing?
4.7’s are bullet proof when well maintained.

The only thing that kills these are $12 worth of heater ts when they get old and break. $30 min fix. Timing belt takes a few hours and the kit is $350.
And check that all of the spark plugs are tight. It's odd but they do like to back out over 60 to 100k.
Good luck, that's a great deal.
