As sad as I am to post this, I’ve got to sell my Donkey (brown, loud, stinks, but goes anywhere). Wanted to take him to Costa Rica but they changed their import laws before I could get all the necessary things done. I appreciate all the help I’ve gotten from this forum and hope to return once I’ve moved to CR and gotten a new project FJ or BJ down there.
Asking $19999 for a vehicle that’s mostly done, most of the hard work’s finished, just prettifying at this point.
Here’s a link to my Facebook ad with all the details and pics. PM me with questions or for more pics: 1969 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 - Auto Parts - Odenton, Maryland - Marketplace | Facebook
For those of y'all who aren't on FaceTube, here's a list of what it's got:
· This FJ40 was originally from west coast (i.e.: no salt on roads)= Rust-free frame
· 2005 PACIFIC FABRICATIONS 5.3L V8 motor, harness and tune (reads as a Chevy Tahoe), approx. 500miles on it; vehicle total mileage unknown, but VIN is clean
· Hardtop fiberglass rebuilt/restored with brand new CCoT rain gutter
· Pacific Fab oil pain (modified to clear front drive shaft)
· AA Headers
· Bling Bling Radiator and electric fans
· Optima Deep cycle
· Rock Tactics motor mounts
· NV4500 5-speed transmission; very solid, but mild synchro wear on either side of 3rd gear
· Advanced Adapters Transfer case adapter, Hi and Lo 4x4
· LC 3 Speed Transfer case with working brake
· Disc Brake front FJ40 axle (1973?), Stock FJ40 rear; engine brake booster connected
· Toyota truck Power steering
· New 33x12.5x15 Procomp MT tires (5)
· Roll-cage installed
· Brand new SOR replacement rear under-mount 22 gal gas tank (like early Con-Ferr auxiliary tank)
· Brand new HydraMat fuel pad (keeps fuel supply consistent at any off-road angle)
· 1969 Rare R-sided tire-door hanger
· New wiring harness (engine harness is wired separately from PacFab)
· Front bucket seats—street-safe from 2012 Scion for comfort
· Badland 12000lb Off-Road Electric Winch with remote control
· Brand new safety tow/tree straps for off-roading/recovery
· Custom gauges
· Have both original rear jump-seats (not currently installed)
· Minimal rust on doors, body/tub when I purchased in 2016: repaired with primer until full repaint job
· Hardtop sides in good condition, minor rust in couple corners, repaired with POR; rare original intact flip-down hatch and half-doors
· Have brand new SOR Summer top with Tiger bar (never used)
· Have heater with core (not installed as was going to ship vehicle to Costa Rica)
· Have extra 1970s Con-Ferr auxiliary tank (back-up, not installed)
· Have new headliner (not installed—waiting for paint job first)
· Have all new roof, hardtop, door and window frame seals, new window felt (not installed—was waiting until after paint job)
· New door, hinge, hood hardware (not installed—also waiting until after paint job)
· NO DIAMOND-PLATE—ORIGINAL STEEL
DISCLOSURE
I was in the process of restoring this beast of an off-road vehicle that has been a dream of mine since I was a teen. My plan was to take my time, and eventually ship down to Costa Rica (CR), where I plan to move in the future. Unfortunately, CR just changed their import laws so no vehicle older than 12 years may be imported as of 1/1/2018. So, as much as I want to keep it, I need to sell it to fund building a house in CR. One of the early PO’s did a non-optimal paint job, so all the black paint you see on the vehicle were minor paint bubbles/dings that were sanded, prepped, and primed. I was going to get it painted once I imported it (since it’s cheaper down there), so it’s ready for your favorite vintage paint color. You will have a very hard time finding a rust-free frame or tub on the East Coast, but this is one of them (cause it came from Oregon, originally from @RustyNailJustin).

I can’t see what it looks like. Others interested may not be able to as well.
