Hey everyone - looking for an FJ60 in the Southwest as a project.
Here's what I am looking for:
- Low-rust or rust-free body/frame
- Mechanically complete (not missing any significant parts of the drivetrain/suspension)
- Doesn't need to run, doesn't really even need an engine
- Clean title...
Thanks @cruisermatt - I'll ask the owner for a few more pics. Here's a link to the Bilstein's where they talk about adjusting ride height - Bilstein 5100 Ride Height Adjustable - Shockwarehouse.com - https://www.shockwarehouse.com/news/bilstein_5100_ride_height_adjustable.cfm
Yeah - thought...
Thanks @OSS. The springs were just re-arched, how much would that drop the lift - 2-3"?
Also read that the extended bilsteins can be used to raise the ride height by 2.5" inches.
Wondering if between the flat springs and new/adjusted Bilsteins, I can get 3-5" lower....?
Thanks @cruisermatt...
Hi everyone,
Looking for a little advice on a potential purchase.

Thanks Whiskerz.

Here's to hoping - and thanks.
By my research, it sounds like at least four or five other people (that I know of) have tried to use Far West (or one of the sites that I think Far West utilizes) to scam people. They own the used car site AND the shipping escrow sites so it feels like two...
I went back and forth with my bank, their bank, alerted the FBI, BBB, etc. and nothing got me the cash-back. It also looks like multiple people have been scammed by this group and they operate several logistics websites and used car sites.
It's a double whammy because a) lost the cash and b)...
I wanted to alert people to a fraud situation with a black/grey FJ62 for sale online.
Long story short: I tried to buy it, transferred funds, never received delivery, they won't respond to my emails, and now probably lost the money.
Slightly longer story: I've been looking to buy an FJ60/62...
