Need a solid FJ62 lower tailgate (preferably in BEIGE--not "gold"--I'm SUCH a noob...). Mine has been attacked by the rust monster...
I'm located in Northern VA.

Can anyone pass on experiences with M&M Auto recyclers in Fredericksburg/Stafford?
Are they interested in retail sales or are they focused on selling to businesses or just scrapping? I know some yards don't care too much for sales to individuals.
I just called there to ask about some...
I've started prepping for blasting/stripping the old finish off my '70 FJ40, and I'm finding the usual small spots of bondo, a bit of rust (not TOO much), a couple of welded patches/plugs...
I'm also finding this phenomenon: topcoat of Spring Green T1028, red primer underneath, thick (1-2mm)...
Just picked this one up in Baltimore MD last week.
My first 60-series.
1990 FJ-62
DoM: 12/89
193000k miles
Mostly stock, has new MAF exhaust (which leaks so she failed VA safety inspection today, but PASSED emissions...)
Item 130146891039.
I was looking at this truck in an earlier auction about three weeks ago until I found out it suffers from terminal frame rot and a jury-rigged rear shock tube.
Was listed out of New Jersey, and the seller seemed legit; I just didn't want to take on the frame replacement...
These photos are of the frame of a '87 FJ-60 that I'm looking at buying.
They depict frame rust and what I think is a questionable tube crossmember...I have a FJ-40 and two Jeeps so I'm not a 60 guy.
Comments? Should I let this one go? The rest of the truck is quite nice, OME suspension...
Not mine but a nice truck worth a look. Buy-It-Now is set at $11,900 (a little steep I think--can only imagine what the reserve price is). Anyway, have at it.

Anybody seen this truck in person?
