Truck is still for sale.
lolo62- If I were going to drive it to Colorado, I would replace a few more tune up parts with Toyota brand parts or high quality parts, such as:
-Distro Cap
-Rotor
-Plug wires
-Voltage regulator
-PCV valve and grommit
-Steering stabilizer shock
probably around $150 for all...if it were me I would also probably put a different carburetor on it first. I have a local source for used FJ60 parts and could help out with getting parts, for a buyer.
I have had it out on the highway up to about 60 MPH, it cruises good at about 62 with the 4 speed...I personally would not drive it much faster because of where the RPMs are at (about 2500-2700, redline is 3500), but that is just me.
There are a few small and minor electrical issues I have not gotten around to fixing yet, such as:
-license plate lights are not currently working. PO hacked in to them for trailer wiring. Should be an easy rewire fix.
-interior lights and tachometer work about half of the time. Could be a short in the tach sender on the trans, or could be a short in the steering column or ignition switch. Speedometer works all of the time though.
-interior dome lights do not work.
