So a BJ40 has popped up semi-local to me. The seller reports the following:
I'm going to give the mechanic a call on Monday but am kinda spitballing in my mind what may be wrong before I take the 2+ hr drive to see it. It looks/sounds like the rest of it is in decent condition, he's asking...
Bumping this up, not even a nibble. Would potentially be interested in a late 90s-early 00s 4Runner.
Price and condition is flexible (okay, nothing that is a total rust-box).
I almost have my wife convinced we need an FJ60 (even have my father-in-law in on the pitch). Help me find the right one. Would like to be in the $5-6k range. Could definitely go up for the perfect truck.
Has to have working AC, diesel would be a plus (obviously with a higher price), but we...
Since it is a Canadian market vehicle I am pretty sure it meets the requirements for importation (you would want to check with an importer though).
From what I understand/what my research said - it can get in if it is >25 years old OR if it is a USA/Canada market vehicle. This gets in under...
Oh, I have read all the importing threads. Like I said, its not the importing that I'm worried about, its the getting it here/to the border.
The seller isn't being super-responsive (after I asked for frame pics), so this may be a moot point after all. Hopefully I will hear something soon. If...
The owner is asking $5500 for the 2 (one running, one not) HJ60s. I figured I could probably make almost all of my shipping/importing fees back by selling parts off the non-running truck (even more if I can get the engine firing).
And yeah, driving is not really an option at this point, hence...
The only things holding me back:
1) I don't know enough about diesel engines to make a decision about its road-worthiness (beyond looking at the frame and saying "Isn't rusted through")
2) I don't want to waste a flight if it isn't road worthy
3) I would still need to rent something to...
Okay, found a couple of HJ60's (one running/daily driver condition, one not running) in interior BC. I live in Portland, OR and am seriously considering purchasing them. I figured the folks in the diesel section of mud would have the most experience doing either of these things (and I honestly...
I'm hoping for the Skiing in Whistler => Diesel LC combo :clap:
I'm unsure about the MB diesels as far as power goes for towing a small trailer up the mountains, which we will be doing on occasion. But its worth looking into if I can find the right FJ60 to start with.
After looking at all the things we want...we limited ourselves to an HJ60 really.
Definitely willing to drive up to WA/Lower BC if we find the right vehicle.
Looking for a '60. Currently in Portland, but willing to drive for the right truck (heck, I can make a trip up to BC if I could find what I want up there).
Needs:
AC (no AC is a deal breaker - the wife and I are pansies)
4x4
Diesel (HJ preferred over BJ)
Wants:
Manual (H55F preferred)...
Talked to two dealers and toyota customer care - the customer care lady said that if this code is being thrown the repair manual says that they are supposed to reflash the computer and replace the catalytic converter.
When I talked to customer care they said that we had to take it to a dealer...
You aren't kidding - it was gone in a flash. The wife and I are even watching Vancouver CL to see if we might snag a BJ/HJ from up there.
I will keep my eyes open for the FJ for you.
Okay, so my wife's '03 Corolla has about 103k miles on it and since about 80k has been intermittently throwing Code P0420: Catalyst system efficiency below threshold (Bank #1).
I know that it means there are four possible causes: leak in the exhaust system, faulty sensor before the cat, faulty...
I have seen a FJ60 or 62 in the IHOP parking lot on 82nd a couple of times recently with a for sale sign in the window. My wife and I are looking for a diesel or I would be able to provide more info (we stopped and looked at it, but seeing it was a gasser she moved along pretty quickly).
I am...
I like the 40 series-they are one of the best looking truck/SUV's ever and my wife and I have both always wanted one, now we are getting one.
I want a BJ because I love diesels, longevity and mileage, and will convert it to waste vegetable oil. I am an amateur wrench, but have never really...
