ADDITIONAL PHOTO"S HAVE BEEN ADDED BELOW>
1980 FJ40, $13,000 Located in Washington, MO. Outside St Louis. 56XXX miles. No rust repairs were ever done because there was none, with the exception on the inside of the firewall above the brake pedal there's some surface rust where the master cylinder leaked at one time.
It's in great condition. Runs like a top. Body is original. Unfortunately, the PO primed the body because there was a dent on the passenger side rear corner that he had a body shop repair and he had them prime the body. You can look underneath and see the floors and original. I actually like the color. It has original documented miles. The only thing wrong is the speedo bounces, and the odometer needs to be lubricated since it sat for 3 years at the PO's house, and another year at my house. The undercarriage is in excellent condition. The PO touched up the axles, and frame. It could use some more to preserve what's there. It has a Safari 4+ suspension with greaseable shakles. I dumped the white wagons and 33x12.5 it came with and put the original rims and hubcabs back on as shown in the recent photo's.
Here are the photo's with the hard top on. It has the original paint. https://forum.ih8mud.com/mo-gateway-cruisers/235150-ok-wfd175-lets-see-some-pics-new-toy.html
I'll assist with shipping, and I'll be bringing it to GATOR at SMORRin September if anyone wants to take it off my hands.
It is what it is. I have the original service records when it was a sheriff's dept vehicle. It was confiscated by the FBI in arkansas from a "military" group and given to the local sheriff's office. You could either paint it or run it as is. As mudders who have seen it and driven it, they can attest for it's condition.
