when I land on this page, I get this message... "Not enough information to display the listing. This may be due to the listing's expiration."

what erse said... good luck with this, cool truck

Any chance this vehicle was purchased from someone in California? I am asking because I would need to smog it here.

Thanks everyone for your replies. Yeah, patience is certainly something I am finding I need. Ford, I really wish I had the shop you had; it would just take me far longer to do what you do. Awesome work.

I'm considering a vehicle with rust issues on the roof. I am wondering if anyone here has recommendations to body shops who know the FJ60 and who could work with me to figure out what the cost range might be. I'm looking for a reputable shop of course. I only have photos at this time as the...

that's funny, your rig is awesome and I'm envious of the setup and resources you have available to you. If I had those, I'd want to build what you did.

I'm in South OC near Irvine, Lake Forest. I do wrench, but currently have no place to do anything significant. I do have a place to maintenance and projects that have some predictability around time frame, but nothing like I would like to have. I do have a commuter I am planning on keeping and...

I guess what I am wondering if anyone knows of AZ or NV smog stations that would or can test to the level CA would require and tell me if the truck would pass once I tested it here. I agree, I do not want to play with smog issues; I want my money going towards improving the truck, not...

Thanks for your reply. I would say I am probably not going to purchase sight unseen. I'll keep in mind that I go can go the picture route of whats under the hood. I would assume however if all of the components are present, while it lessens the chance of smog failing, it wouldn't guarantee a pass.

My apologies, I just realized I posted this in the 70 series section instead of the 60 series section. I have asked admin to move it for me.

I'm located in Southern California and I'm in the market for a FJ60/62. In my search, I see trucks in AZ and NV that look like good deals. Does anyone know of a way to smog test those vehicles where they are so I can eliminate the risk of the truck not passing smog after I buy it?
