This sucks so much Chris!!! I hope some one can buy it. I would but I 1) have no cash and 2) what cash I do have needs to go to my piggie and 40.

[Front Range 4x4]

Thanks Nick, time will tell. I hate giving it up but sometimes life sucks.

[PabloCruise]

Good luck Chris, it stinks to have the 62 stuck away from home...

hmmm wanna buy chris' pig and sell yours?

[Front Range 4x4]

There's an idea!

[Front Range 4x4]

The FJ62 transmission failure has been verified. Bump before going to eBay.

You buying?

[pr0ject42]

Hey, I'm down for that arrangement!

[Man Jerk]

FYI the frame on this pig is very nice and clean.

I spent the better part of a day under it.

Well worth the money.

[Front Range 4x4]

Thanks for the bump Mark

[zuluzeugma]

I hate it for you dude. This is totally worth 5-6K, but the rust is scaring people away. If I were closer, I know of a perfect body sitting in a junkyard I could toss on it...

If you decide you want to sell the 4.88 thirds and ARB, I'm first in line.

[Front Range 4x4]

Thanks Zuluzeugma, it's funny because the rust isn't really too bad. I could give it a quick paint job and sell it some unsuspecting person but that's not the way I do stuff. The 4:88's will go in my 62 if they go anywhere, sorry.

With any luck will say "keep it" when we move to our new place with a garage in a couple weeks.

[Tatortot]

I spent 6 months looking for a pig that wasn't trashed totally, gave up and got a 60 that i'm happy with. Today on mud there are like 5 I had the cash to plunk down on. Really like this one though. A little redneck body work and its a dream ride.

[Front Range 4x4]

Thanks Tatortot, it looks like nobody can afford much these days. I'll probably pull it off the open market and turn it over to a guy I know who runs a body shop as a project to keep his staff busy when business slows. Repair the damage and rust, give it a paint job and sell it on eBay.

[n2666s]

my vote is to keep it........a great family truck to spend a low cost family vacation camping; kids love ours

Lou

[Front Range 4x4]

We'll see Lou. I'm spending a small fortune on a H55F for my 62 which I'm getting back this week and buying a new house this week too. By the time I do that with all associated expenses I'll see where I'm at (besides the poorhouse).

[TachedOutOffRoad]

So . . .

$4000 truck
-$1350 4.88 stuff
_______
=$ 2,600 ???

If my house sells this week, then I THINK I could do that . . . .

$5000 truck - $1350 4:88 stuff = $3600

That would be one hell of a deal for you, not so good for me at all.

Regardless, good luck on your sale, I close on my new one Friday.

[Front Range 4x4]

Geez, I'm a jerk. I posted this in numerous places and didn't make the changes here that I did everywhere else.



Here's what the $5,000 price is for:

1969 FJ55 Body with rare side mount turn signals
1977 FJ55 Frame
1977 FJ55 Firewall
SBC (350) with Edlebrock Performance manifold & Holley 4 Barrel

Toyota 4 speed
Atlas OD (17%) effectively acts as 5th gear.
Full Roll Cage by Redline Motorsports
Front axle knuckles rebuilt
Axle cut and turned 5-6 degrees
(Highway drive is far better than my FJ62)
Shackle Reversal
Flipped U-bolts
Custom Shock Mounts
FJ62 Power Steering Box
Chevy PS Pump
Front Disc Brakes
FJ60 rear (long) springs with add-a-leaf on all 4 corners
New Brake Dual Master Cylinder
New Clutch Master Cylinder
New Clutch Slave
New Rancho 5000's
Spector Offroad (SOR) carpet kit
OME steering stabilizer
Toyota Pickup Seats w/ covers
Quadratec Center Console
No Back Seat

Firewall holes sealed and sound deadened with eDead paint on rubber + eDead sound deadening pads

My apologies for my lack of details, not trying to mess with anyone but not able to lose any more than I already am. I paid $2k for the truck, around $4K for roll cage, suspension parts & work, that doesn't include 1K for exhaust system, hood, drivers door, and other parts included.

Again, my apologies for misleading anyone.

TachedOutOffRoad, the post above explains (as best I can) my previous reply to you. No offense intended to your $2,600 and I'm not trying to bait you.

I honestly hadn't realized I failed to make the changes I thought I had.


Sometimes I'm just a idiot.

Its cool man. I was just going off of this /\/\ and wondering why somebody hasnt snatched this up That truck is the perfect base so a sweet ass DD/ weekend wheeler/ expo rig. Id pimp the hell out of it.

Does anybody want to haul it 1,400 miles for cheap??

Good luck with the sale.

[n2666s]

there is one close to Bham without motor, axles or tranny for 400$

Lou

[Front Range 4x4]

My pig is still for sale but I'm no longer actively trying to sell it. I'm moving this week and will reconsider the future of this truck as I settle in the new place. I may end up parting it and selling the extras I've gathered as I get everything in one place. I'll post as my decision gets made.

Hey Front Range, this guy just cock-blocked you

[Front Range 4x4]

Glad you found one but I'm pretty sure you'll have another 0 on that purchase number by the time you rebuild the suspension and a full roll cage, etc.

[zuluzeugma]

People are dumb. This is a great deal...

And throw in an engine. Imagine how much time this will take as well

[zuluzeugma]
