Up for sale is our 1975 FJ40. I started a frame off 10 years ago and it breaks my wife's’ heart that I can not finish this. I started a rebuild page here on Mud as well. Photos of the tear down, new rotisserie.
All was going well, until my hands started with Dupuytren's Contracture. I’ve lost the use of both hands from this genetic disease as my fingers are all curled up.
I know I’m forgetting a lot of stuff. PM me here with questions.
IF THIS DOES NOT SELL BY THE END OF THE YEAR IT IS GOING TO GET CRUSHED!
$10,000 cash or Certified Check only. No trades. Looking to sell this to the right person.
