I don't have the exact arrival date yet but looks like it should land around the 1st week of March. It took awhile to get all of the paperwork squared away.

Yesterday I was lucky enough (Sarcasm) to get to support another unit at NTC at Ft. Irwin CA in March which means I won't even be here for a month when it gets here. Even though I will only be about 6 hours from it when it lands. Then about 6 weeks later I will be in JRTC for a month so not a lot of time to play with this one.

If anyone is interested let me know.
 
So what would make this interesting to people?

Completely stock full restore?

Diesel engine swap?

Expedition Build?

Leave it alone and let others do with it what they may?

Besides my FJ43 my dad is looking for his next car to restore so he is for hire as well.

I still really want to have this sold before it touches land. I want to get rolling on my own FJ43 so I can enjoy it before this next deployment and I need to free up the cash.

I know somebody out there wants an FJ43 as before I brought this in I had many inquiries on how to do it. I'm open to slight price negotiations.
 
Neat looking rig! I just scrolled through the pics in the link and it looks fairly clean. I noticed what appeared to be a crack in the frame where the right front spring mount attaches to the frame. It's the rear most or stationary mount. Just curious if you noticed that?

I did notice that actually and not sure if it is really a crack or not. Looked like a scratch at first but it goes behind the pin so I'm not sure. I'm going to have a look at it when it gets here. If it is I will take care of it before the sale.
 
Wow, two more guys from Savannah on here! I'm shocked. I'm probably not interested in buying but I'd love to see this thing when you get it here...
 
As of now being shipped to Portland Oregon as I will be in NTC for that entire month and won't have time to deal with it sadly. Might land in Oakland and go by train up to PDX or arrive right in PDX. Not sure which yet but should by the end of the week.

Any questions/offers shoot me an e-mail. Might take partial trades for things I need for my FJ43. Like power steering, new lift kits, and possibly other things.
 
I'm pretty sure it's not a scratch. It seems to go right through the center of the rivet hole. It would be difficult to put a scratch like that without some sign of it on the spring mount.

Still a nice uper rare survivor. GLWS!!

Headed to the Oregon coast. Should be there in around the time I return on March 25th. If interested shoot me an email as it is difficult to do on my phone. Also willing to partially trade for a camper to enjoy this summer. I am located in GA but truck will be in OR.
 
Did it come in yet? Let me know if you plan on bringing it here as I'd love to see it. Good luck!
 
I am just getting back from training on Monday. Just heard today it will arrive in Oregon around tuesday. Should be ready to go and looked over by the end of next week. If any interest at all please shoot me an email. I leave for.another month of training soon and will be out of the net again until mid June. Can work out shipping and help with any paperwork isssues. It will be located in North Bend Oregon and available to test drive at any time.
 
It has arrived in Oregon. I did a Face time with my dad today around the truck and it looks as all of the pictures did. One spot of rust on one of the fenders that I did not see in the pics but otherwise as noted. The front birf leaks a bit and will need a rebuild.

Also there is no crack in the frame. It is just a scratch so no issues there.

We have not ran it yet. It has been raining a lot I guess and haven't had time to go drive it.

Either way it is ready to go to a new home. I know someone out there wants to restore one to their liking.

Will accept reasonable offers close to my asking price, or partial trades for parts I need for my FJ43...H55, a Toybox, possibly a front HFS or similar bumper with an 8274 Warn winch, lift kit (not the same as the 40), Toyota Power Steering (don't want to cannibalize this trucks) or custom parts for my OM617 swap if anyone has anything like that. Will even take partial trade on a pop up camper if it is in the next 2 weeks.
