1984 FJ60 stock, in MT now $2800/strong offer

This is a feeler...want to sell this but I paid $2000 for it...so the bottom line is very close to this number...

I have too many pieces of iron in the fire. I now own 4 vehicles and need to downsize.

I got this last summer with the intention of building it up. It was mainly a hunting rig for the previous owner, and as such, was not driven alot real regularly. It has around $9000 or so in documented auto shop reciepts from the last 5 or so years...that being said it still needs a few things.
Just under 170,000 miles on the chassis, less on JDM engine. I have driven this FJ60 less than 2000 miles in the last year.

for a regular daily driver it needs:
-rebuilt (correctly) carb, or new Aisin, or weber
-desmog
-oil leaks addressed. Probably the oil pan, side cover, dunno possibly rear main.
-P/S pump leaks some fluid

It is a 4 speed, shifts great, 4WD/transfer all works great. All guages work. Has a JDM replacement engine from a few years ago, but it probably needs some minor tune ups such as a few gaskets, plugs/cap/rotor/wires, and probably a valve adjustment.

I took the wheels and tires for my '95 Tacoma, so it would need rims with the proper backspacing. As it sits on the '95 roller rims, I DO NOT think that they clear the brakes, so test drives would have to be done with some other wheels. Paint is original, and clear coat is peeling in spots, also some fading and very minimal surface rust starting to appear on the top of the roof.

Has a tear in the driver's side seat, and rusting of the drivers rear quarter panel at the bottom next to the exhaust. Frame rust and rust underneath seems to be surface rust an minimal. Not a 10 (out of 10), but also not a 5. Probably the rust (10 being no rust), is likely a 6 or 7 with the rear quarter factored in compared to other FJ60's I have seen in this price range.

Has Chilton manual, AND the 2F FSM, chassis FSM, electral supplemental FSM...every manual you would need for a ground-up, frame off restore.

Would consider cash + partial trades for a 14' john boat, guns (7mm mag, 30-06, .357 or .44/.45 revolver), possibly other Toyota stuff but like I said I am trying to do some downsizing.:D

slj333- I bet if YOU had $150 for a used carb and knew how to install it, YOU could buy this for $2200!

This truck is worth more than I am asking for it...
 
In Montana and interested, pics of the engine compartment and under carriage?
 
montanacruiser161- Thanks for the reply. There are a bunch of pics of the engine bay and the undercarriage on page 3 of this post. It is as described. Might be able to get more soon, but a bunch of snow is on the ground under it.

Saw them I must of skipped over that page when looking at the sale. Thanks
 
ok. I am going to do some minor tune up stuff on this, clean out the intake with a few cans of Seafoam, and change fluids, etc.

Gonna post on Ebay, probably before the first of next year. If it can't go to a current MUD member, maybe the Ebayer will become a new MUD member.:D
 
I changed the brake and clutch fluid. Forgot to mention that this rig has a block heater outlet that works good, and seems to heat the coolant.

Also, this rig is probably gonna need a different/new battery because the one in it is probably 5+ years old and it gets down to -30F here every winter.

Willl keep posting up updates. A few people are interested, but no one has come with any ca$h yet...
 
All PM's replied to...
 
still for sale...

willing to trade for an older gas saver Toyota, or maybe Subaru or Honda + cash. Would prefer an older Toyota wagon + ca$h. Maybe an early '80's 2WD Toyota truck or first gen 4Runner. Projects considered.
 
bump to top...

I am going to start to fix some things, and add to this rig.

The price will go up accordingly.

First thing tommorrow I am going to put the 31x10.5 yokohama geolandar at/s tires on (60%), and the original rims.

Then I am going to tackle some of the the tune up stuff next.

Pics to follow...
 
Freshly done and recent maintenance includes:

-switched over 31x10.5 yokohama geolandar at/s (60%) on original OEM rims
-changed clutch fluid
-changed brake fluid
-new windshield wiper blades
-new fuel filter


More maintenance to be done tommorrow.

I am going to fix it up, tune it up, drive it around :steer: and maybe someone will want to buy this soon. I don't know, I may like it so much I will decide not to sell...:meh:

more fresh maintence:

-replaced air filter
-replaced all 6 spark plugs with NGK basic plugs
-cleaned carb with carb cleaner spray and shop towels, and intake extensively with Seafoam spray
-swapped driver and passenger seats, so driver's seat is now in nearly new condition with no tears or stains!
-replaced old gas cap, with new locking gas cap with rubber gasket
-confirmed with Toyota that gas tank recall and seatbelt recall were done in 1994

I drove this around the other night about 80 or 90 miles on dirt roads, more than half in 4WD. All gears work great and shift smooth, in 4HI and 4LO.

I did some hill climbs in 6 inches of snow, and never slipped a tire! This thing is awsome off road on 4x4 trails. 4LO and third gear is a fun combo. There were also a few frozen creek crossings and it did fine on the blue glare ice.

Replacing the fuel filter and air filter seems to have taken care of the stumbling and hesitation issue on inclines. It never skipped a beat in spots where previously it was trying to cut out on me a few years back...

NEW PRICE: $2800 / Best Offer

More fresh maintenance to come...and PICS when I take it 'wheeling during the day!:cool:

too bad the rig is not in the southeast, otherwise i'd take a harder look for sure.
 
toomanytoyz-

yep it surprises me too. had a few nibbles but most flaked out on me. I have been working 150 miles from the rig, which makes it hard to set up viewing times. I figured someone would have seen this ad in the last 2 years and tried to beat down my door with cash in hand...:doh:

12,000 people have viewed this ad. That is about 4 times the amount of people that live in the town that this truck is parked in!!!

I have full truthful disclosure in this ad. A buyer will not likely find that on CL or MUD very regularly. I am not selling a heap of schrap. I am selling a 1984 FJ60 that runs and drives, and needs a few things.

Please buy my lawn ornament! I would like to invest the money into my expeditionary Tacoma.

I am going to go wheel this rig today and take NEW PICS!!!

Can you post very detailed shots of any and all rust, ESP on the body


Thanks,

fresh maintenance:

-new Interstate Megatron II battery

NEW PRICE: $2850 / best offer or trades


I have wheeled this truck twice over the last few nights, through 4inches of slush, over glare ice, up steep hill climbs, through mud and snow drifts. About 90 miles in 2wd and 4WD, more than half of which was in 4L.

It is an awesome backcountry vehicle, and handles well in all conditions.

Here is the most recent photo, with the 31 x 10.5 Yokohama AT/S on it.

Zach1978- Look at pages 1 and 3 of this thread. The pics are posted there.
