this little piggy goes to market....

jfz80 · 06-26-08, 06:35 PM

1972 FJ-55 for sale in NC

this pig is a wheeler only; no resto here

I bought her about a year and a half ago and have continued to add to the previous tinkerings. Super fun and not forced to part but been putting more time and money into the 80 and got a change of directions in mind.

The good:

SOA
3" BL
Scout PS conversion (super frame reinforcement in place)
IPOR sliders welded into rockers
IPOR front bumper and rear bumper w/ swingout
F motor that runs great*
New 35'' mud dawgs w/ dynabeads
NEW clutch w/ all assoc parts, turned the flywheel as well
Just rebuilt carb (need to readjust float) but all jets were spot on
replacement floorboards
welded rear/open front
76 front axle w/ discs
74? 4spd transmission w/ 3spd case (lower gearing)
135 amp GM ambulance alternator
EVERY SINGLE FLUID replaced including brake flush in last 6 mos.

The really good

garaged by me and only 29k miles

power window still works

power seats

available w/ or w/out the redneck snorkle

not flopped by me

the bad:

door hinges need to be rebuilt
a bit o' bondo

PS leaks after install
rust at bottom of front fenders and rear 1/4s
*knocking noise at higher rpm.... i believe it to be associated w/ the third member/driveshaft. Possible extra 3rd included. ONLY occurs at higher RPM while in gear/under load. Also can offer a 77 2F w/ purchase of vehicle.

She wheels great and gets thumbs up and stares everywhere you go. Drive to the local trail and hour away and back w/ confidence. Furthest drive to wheel pushed 6hrs.... prolly wouldnt do it again though. Ill update w/ better pics when i get back in town.

in the front yard for $3600
Mud Price is $3200 or best offer

thanks for looking

(noise is present in vid)
and this is probably the best and most current collection of pics

I have not seen the pig but the owner came over to look at one I had posted and is an A+ person. It would be very easy doing business with him.
