Will be later today before I can get it done.
 
Wait...you're not actually selling your build are you? That had an engine installed so I'm guessing not. So what all are you selling for $5500? Sorry for the rambling. Just hoping to still follow along with your build.
 
Everything is for sale.

Yes, selling what I was building. Engine is for sale also.

Ever heard the phrase, the straw that broke the camels back? Well it happened yesterday. No need to get into details on a public forum.


Sorry, man. Oh yeah that's happened to me before. I had a '71 Jimmy I worked on for 10 years then just one day sold the thing. Been missing working on a project ever since. I've been lurking on this forum for about a year now, reading and learning. I've been looking for a project that was priced right, had most of the body work done and had some interesting history to it. I can handle mechanical/e/electrical stuff. I wont be able to drop 5500 till October, 8 weeks from now. If you still have it I am definitely interested. Here's a picture of me on the last day I sold my Jimmy.

I’m interested in the list of parts too
 
Almost complete. The only thing I can think of that's missing is the jump seats. Rear sill needs outer ends fixed, this is the only rust in it. Everything else is rust free. Lots of new parts still in the Toyota package. Has 4 speed trans and 3 speed T-case. 3.70 pumpkins installed and extra 4.11's. Both axles have been rebuilt. Front axle has disc brakes. AFI tbi conversion with VSS.


Builds - My Project, I get to retire when its finished.

I followed along with your build thread, sorry you've hit another bump in the road.
 
$8000. Price reduction bump. Clear title in my name. Ordered new wheel cylinders and clutch slave cylinder. Will get all that installed this week. Give me a couple days to bolt everything together. Should be driveable on a trailer.
 
Hardtop sides original paint.
