Thanks ozcruiser. Harleys are a soft market right now in the US and I could only get about half of what I spent on it right now, so the trade did make sense at the time. You are in the part of the...
Stump, that was the intent of this thread whether I sell it or not. Trolls just get my goat sometimes and I didn't think this site would have any, but I guess I was wrong. I was hoping that members would give me their honest opinions on how to go about bringing this 45 back to a reasonable...
I purchased a Mercedes while I was working in Saudi Arabia and had it shipped to New Orleans. Much less than shipping it to California, where I am from. I had to go thru the DOT and EPA and wonder what the regulations are now for importing foreign vehicles. It used to be one in a lifetime, but...
I have to agree with what you said Whitey. I am not one of those who can shell out $75K either, but do enjoy an original classic more than a resto mod. I have owned both and every time the original vehicle wins hands down. Must be the nestalgia in us.
Here is the truck I bought in an earlier life. I found this on the MUD site and another member placed it in one of the threads. It is nice to see what it looked like before I first saw it. I think the guy I got it from painted it an army green to hide the camo paint job.
There is no VIN plate on this vehicle, only the stamped number on the right side of the frame. There is a plate on the engine which is the one I have not looked at yet. I will take a look tomorrow and report what I find out.
I have also not looked at the tub condition under the diamond plate. I...
A lot of what you say makes sense, but when dealing with cars, rare is better than not rare. There are a lot of 40s out there to pick from and most who are looking for one can find them easily. There are not a lot of 45s out there and many have looked years to find the one they want. The old...
Thanks. Even though it is not the stock color, it does give it more of a vintage look and I think it should make the truck appear a little more era correct.
I do like the FJs that are painted the stock solar red color as well.

Thanks. It has a F155 and I haven't had a chance to get the serial number off it yet to determine year. It would be great to have a diesel, but it is just the luck of the draw, I guess.
Once I do more cleaning up on the truck, I will post more pics. Still waiting for the brake line to see how...

Thanks. At first, I had some remorse, but now that I have researched things a little more, I feel much better about the trade. Once the truck is cleaned up and on the road, its value can only increase. I am thinking about going to the Petaluma Swap Meet in July to show the truck and possibly...

I traded my customized 2002 Heritage soft tail. I used to build and customize bikes in Phoenix until the economy tanked. The bike was advertised a few times, but the market is still soft. It made sense to me to trade for the FJ45 and the more I read, the more I think it was a good move. Here...
How much for a tailgate? Mine in OK, but does have some cancer on the bottom, outside rib. I will take a closer look, so if the price is right, I would be interested. Sorry to hear you have stopped production, you will be missed.
Thanks
