Anybody have a DIY for 2nd generation(2008) Tundra brakes? I'd rather NOT pay the dealer $300 to do it. :doh:

Looking to buy an FJ40 around 6k. I live in San Diego CA. I'd consider prospects in Arizona, Nevada and Oregon. Ideally the 40 should be in decent running condition and little rust. -Kine

Toyota : Land Cruiser : eBay Motors (item 320527770479 end time May-12-10 17:49:53 PDT) Can anyone tell me anything about this guy, besides the fact that it's overpriced? I'm in the market and I'd consider negotiating with the buyer; any info would be useful. Thanks! -Kine

Congratulations. But to be quite honest, the creepy robot voice on the website scares me. Does that come standard with the 40? haha

Very well put. I'm sitting tight for the moment. Thank you :clap:.

So the owner just called me and he sounds like he needs the money pretty bad and could be talked down a bit. I'd guess you could talk him down to a little over 5k for the 72 cruiser, his salvage cruiser which he claims has a rusted body but the parts are all good and the trailer. If anyone is...

If I'm ever in the area I'll give you a beep for sure dude! Same goes for you if you are ever in San Diego County.

The seller of the rig in question claims to be a mechanic of 30 years in various fields. Currently out of work, most recently working in logging operations. Having read everything here and sleeping on it and going over shippin costs etc... I've decided to just wait around here down south for...

What would the drive be like, down the I-5 that is. That's what would concern me most w/ the trailer. Mountains passes/twisties and the like. Edit: Missed those last two posts. As the day has gone on and I've heard all the input, I'm definitely moving away from driving it down for all the...

I've considered shipping it. That would most likely mean leaving behind the salvage vehicle for parts. Which I wouldn't lose a whole lot of sleep over really.

Well, I can't say that I'm particularly looking forward to it and it's not a done deal yet. The family is still discussing it. We've been waiting for something local to come around for a while and haven't really seen anything we've liked for the price.

Yeah, I plan on a test drive when I get there, and if I'm uncomfortable with it, I'll have to figure something else out... That being said, flying all the way up to WA and coming back empty handed isn't exactly at the top of my list. I'm up for an adventure. Plus I'm sure there's plenty of...

Hey guys, my father and I have been in the market for a 40 for awhile and we stumbled across this guy up in Aberdeen, WA via ebay. Toyota : FJ Cruiser : eBay Motors (item 270571233575 end time May-05-10 17:20:38 PDT) I have a few additional photos which I'll try to put up shortly, at...

There is a thread floating around w/ a full list of mechanics in the lower 48, or atleast those that have been encountered. I recall seeing lots in Southern California, but I'm down in SD. I'll see if I can track it down... EDIT...

For those of you who do wheelin' w/ Atrac, is the increased wear on the brakes noticeable or a factor that should be considered when thinking of a 100 series?
