The truck I am asking about is a 5 speed manual. Imported from France.

Well I saved money for the last five years to fix my Fj60. I am not finacing. But I saw this truck and thought it looked good. The cost to repair mine is real close to the same. I do not know how some guys get work done so cheap. I just do not know what to do.

There is a pretty nice Hj61 dump truck in France with a type of rhino liner paint.

What am I missing? Car shopping it is hard to buy something in the 30k price range. Pickup trucks are 40-65k. Why would I need to be independently wealthy to buy a $35,000 truck? Older trucks should cost more beings made from metal and not plastic and being emissions exempt.??

But is the engine I have.

I guess. I wouldn't need bodywork to drive it. Restorations in my area seem to be around 50-120k. In the pnw if one doesn't repair even the smallest rust spots they tend to double or tripple in size each year. Our summers are July 5 to Sept 1 first and second winters are from Sept 1 till June...

Engine rebuild 9k qoute h&h diesel. Transmission 2-6k depending Frame work 3k Body work 3-5k Paint 5-10k Rear axle 1-5k Front axle 2-7k Things can add up fast. The guys that have the time and ability do their own work greatly under value the cost of time/labor.

Should I buy this? Used 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser 4dr Wagon for Sale in Houston TX 77063 Roadsters Auto

What is the price of this rig?

did you ever figure out the issues with your transmission? Is this the same transmission that was rebuilt 3 times the first 10k miles? What ended up being that issue/fix?

Its a nice truck. I like the added bonus of ebay offering $3.00 dollars off.

I don't think you should have to pay shipping back if the seller cannot make it right then file dispute with your credit card or paypal. On the other hand if it was a small cruiser shop that you bought them from maybe see if you can work out some sort of deal. Shipping kills some of these...

four friends and some taco bell will fix the musty smell just drive around a few hours with the windows rolled up.

I don't think that mpg is at the top of the original posters list. Unique engine swap was what he was seeking. I am about to swap out my sbc 350/th350 engine for something that can do 60mph. Any engine I put in will get at least double the 10mpg I got with the 350. A new truck costs about...
