No doubt; I believe ya on that. My bar is to be able get out from under the vehicle +/- a couple grand should I have to
Awesome. Didn't know that!
Google it! It's fairly common on Craigslist.
Turns out it's a scam. hahaa
Hi,
Due to the high volume of internet scams, I give you the chance to receive the car at your home address BEFORE i receive my money for it. I appreciate your interest but I want to let you know that the car is located in Croatia. I purchased the car in US and I...
I agree. It's more like to happen then not. I am patient though and I hope that will payoff by making the right purchase.
Good advice on retaining stock parts.
That is a great way to look at it. The goal is to limit monetary risk as much as possible while still being able to enjoy an FJ40. I...

I agree completely. Supposedly there are oil change receipts, but we'll see. It looks to me like it's worth looking at, but there is a high potential for coverups and definitely some small parts/repairs necessary.
FJ40 is from Georgia. Frame was media blasted and painted and then por 15 according to seller. Obviously there is a HUGE variance in the quality of finished product for that procedure. Definitely need more photos of undercarriage
The body was repainted and you're right, it's weird that they...
Haha I hear ya on that :android:
Good point on the smog equipment. I live in FL though so I should be alright.
Hmm, which plumbing? I'm not sure about the undercarriage. I will ask for a picture.
