Hi Joseph,
It's been a few years so I thought that I would check in. It looks like you have done great things with the old truck. I am so happy that you ended up with it. This is one of those keepers that I let get away but it is obvious that it went to the right guy!
Cheers,
Jim
No worries Rob, anytime my friend.
That's sweet, my son just got a job as a Tech at Murrieta BMW after working for quite a while for Beverly Hills BMW. What a small world.
This was not only a smooth transaction but we had a lot of fun doing it together.
On another note, the buyer did not...
Good bye old friend.
Best wishes to the new owner. He is putting the old truck back to stock, which is what I should have done.
A sad day for me, hopefully I will have another one of these beauties again someday.
Here is my new adventure, sorry it's not a Land Cruiser...
Turbo 400 with AA adaptor ADDED MOTOR
Hi,
I have a Chevy 350 4 bolt main, Turbo 400 transmission with the Advanced Adapters adapter for the Land Cruiser transfer case for sale.
The motor came out of the truck running. I had the transmission rebuilt several years ago for a FJ45 project...
Thanks Rob, That sounds like a plan buddy! Or if you want to bring her down to the shop we can put her on the rack and have some fun down here. Your always welcome.
Cheers,
Jim
Thanks! The buyer is a member here his screen name is Vintij74 and he already has a sweet FJ 40. I can tell from talking to him that he is going to take the truck to a new level. He did not want the V8 or transmission because he is going back to Toyota drivetrain. He is thinking about either...
Hi Guys,
I sold the truck today. My thanks to those of you that helped me with this truck over the last 9 years. I will miss her and all of you as well.
Cheers,
Jim
Hi Fast Eddy,
I am an old guy that has bought and sold lots of cars and trucks over the years. You would have to slam me pretty hard to get under my skin. I appreciate all comments. Per your request I sent you a PM with my location and phone number if you want to discuss the truck further...
Hi Rob,
Thank you for your comments buddy! It took me a long time to come to the realization that the old truck would be better off if I let her go. I have been the caretaker for almost 9 years and for the past few years very little has gotten done on the restoration so it's time. As you know...
Yes this country has gone through some hard times and we are still not out of it. This being one of the reasons the old truck is up for sale. My price is just an "asking" price and if I received a fair offer I would consider it.
After a little more thought I have another option if anyone is...
I am sorry to say that I am selling my FJ 45 LWB. I have been trying for years to get this done and finally come to the realization that I will not be able to finish off what I started due to several reasons. Some of you know me and have helped me out. To those that have helped I want to Thank...
Dom,
After lots of fighting with the headers and not getting the fitment that I like I agree 100%. Ram Horns are staying.
I tried to get the tranny mounts to work but decided to remove them. There was less room so I could not use the porta-bandsaw and I did not want to use the torch so I...
Thanks, I can feel your pain, you need to just pull it in the shop and get back at it. It will be very rewarding once you start. I almost sold this one a while ago but the prices are so bad in this market that I decided to just finish what I started and enjoy the truck for years to come. You...
