FS- 1983 FJ60- Tuolumne, CA

1983 FJ60 with 157069 miles $3500- Tuolumne, CA 95379

Well, I'm finally getting around to trying to sell my 1983 FJ60. I bought this in 2003 with around 13xxxx miles on it- it's now at 157069 miles. It has a clear title (as soon as I can remember the really safe spot I put it so I wouldn't lose it). The Cruiser runs well but the steering wheel gets a shimmy at around 45 mph. The body is in pretty good shape for a 25 year old truck- there are a few dents/ dings/ scrapes and some small rust spots over the rear wheel wells. The interior is in decent shape but the driver's seat has the usual wear and tear. Overall I think it's in fair shape but it needs some TLC. I think this is a solid foundation for someone who is willing to put some work into making a sweet rig.

While I have had this cruiser I have:

-Installed new exhaust with a new cat and Flowmaster muffler
-Replaced the radiator and hoses
-Replaced the water pump and fan clutch
-Replaced the alternator
-Installed a great stereo- Sony CD player with a 10 CD changer, 4 Pioneer 6" speakers in the doors powered by a 4x250w (I think) amp, and 2 12" Infinity subs powered by a 1000w (I think) Kenwood amp.

What I know needs done:

-Front axle needs rebuilt- it has greasy knuckles
-Power steering pump has a leak- it needs rebuilt or replaced (Edit: it could just be a hose, I'm not sure)
-Clutch pedal needs adjusted
-AC doesn't work- I think it just needs a new idler pulley as it currently eats the AC compressor belt.
-Parking brake doesn't work- I bought a new cable but I never got around to installing it
-Needs a new windshield- this was a cold winter and it cracked pretty bad
-It will need new tires pretty soon
-After it has new tires it will probably need an alignment

I had removed the factory rack while I had a Yakima rack mounted but I still have the factory rack which can be reinstalled. The Yakima rack is not included (it's now on my FZJ80).

I have tried to represent everything as well as I can. If you have any questions please shoot me a PM.

The cruiser is located at my parents' house in Tuolumne California. If needed we can work out delivery around Northern/ Central CA if you pay for fuel.

Cheers!
