So i just gave up and bought a 2WD sequoia. The prev. owner listed it on craigslist as a 4WD, cloth seats, $3,500. It was a 90 minute drive, and when I arrived I realized it was a 2WD model and was a little upset. I was almost ready to turn around and come home, but then I decided to give...
That must have been a good deal cause its gone now. I saw that 1997 but its a hell of a drive for me.
I am searching for something with cloth seats. This is the one i was thinking of but not sure i want to deal with a headgasket.
Toyota Landcruiser
Yeah.... at these prices I am thinking I might find a nice 4 door Tundra or a Sequoia. End up with a truck 10 years newer and 50,000 less miles for the same price.
Still searching...
...still going crazy looking at 20 year old vehicles with 250,000 miles and a $7,000 asking price!
Anybody have any leads that don't involve craigslist? The best deal I have come across so far was a lifted '94 with a blown headgasket for $3,200.... but I have to tow it 2...
My search has come up empty handed. Seems like these things are still worth their weight in gold. I was hoping to find something for under $2500 but that is not going to happen.
Sounds like BMWJunky scored. What did you pay for the locked FJ from Carson?
Sold it to a guy in Reno. It had some EGR issues and a CEL problem and wouldnt pass smog. I had to get rid of it because i was in some desperate times.
Those times are over! :D Time to get my wheelin awn!
Well guys. I knew i would be back and here I am. Im on the hunt for a FJ80... looking for something thats smogged and thats about it. :)
Curious if anyone knows of anything or has seen anything recently? Im on craigslist but I know there are other FJ80s out there that I wont find on...
Ive been lurking.... hoping this club got some more traction but doesn't seem like much has been going on.
Sorry to hear about your Cruiser Matt. The Smog Nazi's are what put the final nail in my coffin and sent my FJ80 to a new owner in Nevada :( Im hoping to find another FJ80 to build...
I will be contacting the IH8MUD administrators about adding the new moderators.
If any new members feel like they have what it takes to be a Moderator, post up here. (really, it takes nothing... everyone here behaves)
Well... sad day. The LC left for its new home yesterday.
Good news. The buyer came from Reno. He has a '96 FJ80 with lockers and a blown motor. He has been on the hunt for a good FJ80 with cloth seats to transfer the locked axles into. His plans include a 3 link front, 37+ tires, and he...
Can someone help me and provide some detailed photos of the hoses to & from the EGR modulator.
I got a new one, and I want to make sure i hook it up correctly. Going to try to smog it tomorrow.
Still have it. Gino's friend is really interested, but so far anyone who's contacted me on craigslist has just flaked.
I have the smog part. I have 90 days from the initial smog test to get a free re-smog. So im probably going to put the part on, take it for a re-test and hope for the...
Well, i got a new EGR Modulator off ebay for $15. Figured I would just install it, and take it to the smog shop to see if it will shut the tech up.
We will see....
I havent found a new owner just yet. I put it on the actual IH8Mud classified section and got a couple interested parties. I put it on craigslist and got a couple interested parties.
But I know how this game is played. I wont be holding my breath. And I wont be giving it away. If I dont...
It failed smog cause I removed the EGR Modulator and plugged the vacuum line leading from the VSV to the EGR. That Modulator is a $15 part on ebay, but im not sure if the VSV needs to be replaced and it will probably be winter before I have time to get any work done on it.
Anyhow, to make a...
