Yeah done deal when I followed up, last I checked FJ wasn't on their site anymore so I assume sold and gone :( Guess they forgot to remove some of the ads.

Ugh...got all excited then I realized you bumped a 10 year old thread. :(

Yeah totally, I've been keeping my eye on it. They did update it to say "Pending" the next day, but it's still up, so that's maybe a good sign? Agreed, super disappointed because I called to test drive it and spoke to a different salesperson and he said "well I don't want to step on [first...

Shoot, well, that one fell through. The salesperson I was working with was off Sun/Mon, so we scheduled a test drive today after work. He got someone to pull it out and get it ready for the test drive and his boss told him someone put a deposit on it. He just called to let me know, so no test...

Hah, great question! This photo shows the belt retractor as being mounted to the edge of lower tub: I'm guessing you could remove the upper point mount in the roof and mount it down near the floor and run it as a dual-lap belt? Maybe mount it to the roll bar at the front of the box? Would...

Didn't get a chance to get over there this weekend so hopefully I can leave work a bit early on Monday and swing by to check it out and test drive it. Ah, totally see what you're talking about, thanks! Great call out, I'll take a closer look when I look at it. I'm guessing it's originally...

Wasn't able to take it for a drive unfortunately, both due to my plans this evening afterwards, and the fact it was in the back corner of their showroom. The gentleman showing it to me said I could take it for a drive though, just to call and give him some warning so they could pull it out...

So a local dealership just got an 1977 FJ45 in, and I'm going to go take a look at it tonight. I'll report back with my findings but if you have any thoughts please let me know! https://www.parkplaceltd.com/used-cars/detail/1977-Toyota-FJ45-Longbed-Pickup/995/XXXXXXXFJ45150576 More photos of...

Thanks to everyone who has replied with advice / opinions so quickly! Agreed; I've only purchased local vehicles before, after checking them out in person. If I don't know the model very well I work with the seller to get the vehicle to a reputable place for an inspection (and meet them...

Hey IH8Mud, I guess this is my first real post here. I've been following the forums on and off since I was linked here from a Jeep forum of all places (I believe it was regarding a tailgate swap build, but can't recall exactly, it was many years ago). I used to own a 2003 Jeep TJ Rubicon but...

Stupid question since I haven't owned an FJ before, and have never seen a soft top FJ43 in person. How easy is it to raise and lower the whole soft top (and is it feasible to lower it and drive around in the 43?). I used to own a 2003 TJ, so it wasn't too bad to take down (5 - 10 mins), but...

Per this post: '78 BJ40 Engine Start Trouble - seeking advice Looks like it's from Costa Rica. Not sure why you want us to PM you for more info vs just posting it here? Multiple people have asked and I'd appreciate what other members think about the truck since I've never owned a Landcruiser...

Would be interested in more pics (interior?). Also more info: is it originally Canadian? mileage? is engine original? is paint original? would also appreciate pictures of the usual rust zones. Thanks!
