if i had someone who could re-assemble it for me (i am NOT competent with anything mechanical) i'd look at it. good luck, someone will grab it!

thanks for the guidance. on the engine, i didn't want a chevy in it, that's how it was coming and i thought it sounded odd to have a toyota but put a completely different brand of engine in it

OK, i didn't want to reveal it was on ebay (maybe you guys already saw it). i am not in austin would be buying this basically blind, as i don't know anyone in austin to check for me (and i grew up 30 miles from austin), but here is the link to the auction: Toyota : FJ Cruiser | eBay...

Do these pix help at all? also put 2 pix of the axle area to maybe give an idea of how well (or perhaps not well) it was restored etc)

OK i know NOTHING about engines, just curious: i'm looking at an FJ40 with a chevy 350 engine. 1. i'm assuming this will mean a LOT more power than an FJ40 with a standard engine? If so, how much more 2. what concerns are there considering someone swapped out a CHEVY engine with a toyota and...

OK, I am not a mechanical person, but i like cars, then the other day my wife calls and pretends she's bought a 74 in colorado. I knew she was lying but it intrigued me since she's never shown any interest in something like that. So I got to looking and found this one on ebay: Toyota : Land...

thank goodness it sold. someone who loves it will get it instead of remaining on and probably being removed and stored.

i drive thru Raton on the way. it doesn't seem like my drive is in NM very long, pretty much lots of TX, little NM and lots of CO

sorry i don't know anyone who can haul it for me/you. it looks like it's gonna stay on the LC during the sale unfortunately

sorry for the delay, my "real" job has had me tied up big time. yes those pix atlas posted are the one. i'm in Lubbock, Texas but i drive to aspen nearly every month so i could meet along the way, however i don't want to drive out of the way. it's a tough sell that way, just thought someone...

hey guys, it's with a heavy heart that i'm having to sell my 97 with only 125K miles, I think i have a local buyer but he doesn't want the rack (or better yet saw no value in it so was standing firm on the price). i put it on about 4 months ago and have hauled exactly zero pounds of stuff...

thanks. i'd just put about 6K into it in a year and a half so didn't want to just get creamed. odds are i'll keep it, just wanted some honest opinions which i knew i'd get here, thanks!

Guys, I have a black 97 non-locked with 124K, new tires at 116K, just spent around 1,000 at Gene Messer Toyota on leaks and such and got a new radiator about 5 months ago in Basalt, Co. bought originally about 18 months ago and spent about 3,900 on belts and other engine stuff and paint job...

yes i'm excited, just sent the deposit. the only thing was plugging the holes. that discussion in the FAQ was all over the place. i kind of thought there'd be a simple thing since removing a rack can't be that isolated. just don't want leaking and the place i was GONNA use didn't confidently...

after reading this thread: https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/262586-new-roof-rack-80-series-made-baja-racks-awesome-4.html i had a little back and forth with Kaleb and decided to get one of the last roof racks he has seen here: MULE Expedition Roof Rack & Product Detail Photos he...
