I'm looking for a trail rig near CO. I love this bike but I need to something for the trail more than I need a second motorcycle. $15,500 OBO or trade for a 4x4 of equal alive. Bike has over 100 hp and 120 lbs ft of torque. Big bore and cam kit. Black Pearl paint. Sissy bar and back rack...
I'm getting ready to move to Nevada and I am looking for an FJ62 before I leave. This is a rush move so I need something near Cleveland, Akron, or Canton. Looking to buy in the next couple of days. Need something that will make it all the way to NV.
Email pics and a description...
Looking for a hard top for my '74 FJ40. I will drive a couple hundred miles to pick this up unless you are willing to ship yours to me.
Also looking for a MAF (or similar) bumper mounted tire carrier.

I haven't really started looking for work but I am open to just about anything. I've been a DOD contractor (Intelligence, Hardware/Software training, and systems support)...
I haven't decided yet. Still looking for places to live (and work... hint hint) but I will probably end up in/around Berea.

As far as the specs go, this is the info I got from the guy:

Howdy! I just picked up a '74 FJ40 and I am looking forward to being a part of this forum. This is my second FJ40, the first was a $1500 disaster that I bought on impulse while on leave... not the smartest things I've ever done but young Marines are supposed to do dumb stuff! My new(er) FJ40...
Thanks to everyone who responded with a vehicle and those who offered advice about my purchase.
I found a '74 FJ40 and I will be picking it up next week. Pics to follow!

I took a look at this FJ this morning. It may not be worth 22k but it looked very nice. The body and paint were just about perfect. It did have the f engine/three speed/drum brakes and the only non-stock parts on the vehicle were a pair of fog lights, a beefier roll bar, and an extra set of...
I am going to be in the area tomorrow morning so it won't hurt to look. I am definitely going to be looking for the things you mentioned (brakes, F engine, etc) and we'll see what he has to say.
From the responses I've received to my "want to buy" thread, I'd say this guy better have...
