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.

1969 FJ55 Body with rare side mount turn signals
1977 FJ55 Frame

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.

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.
