Looking for an FJ40

LaOutbackTrail · 05-08-08, 07:13 PM

Hey guys,
I am looking to find a decent FJ40 that I can tinker with. I am not concerned about making a restoration, rock crawler or mud machine, but I would like a nice mechanically sound mostly original cruiser, that I could potentially drive through Central America and blend in. Adventurous I know. I'm looking to spend less than $3000 for the vehicle. Would like to buy and drive... or I will probably lose interest.

Just so you know, I'm a college student (with above a 3.5 GPA by the way) and have a wife who is actually willing to help pay for a rig because she likes them too... but we are on a tight budget.

Any help would be appreciated. You can email me at glowingreen01nf@aol.com if you have something or know of any cruisers.

Thanks for the help guys!
Scott
