1985 FJ-60 in Appleton, WI $3500 <reduced>
Hello...
I had an account here years ago as RUMOR 156, but I can't seem to get the password!
I have a 1985 FJ-60 with 139,000 miles on it. It has a minimal amount of surface rust (really, just a bit). It was painted by a friend of mine about three years ago. In all fairness, I don't think he did the best job prepping it and it began to surface rust. (The rust is mimimal, it for sure would not scare anyone away...I am mentioning it in the beginning because it did bum me-out because there was none at all before the paint job!)
Anyhow, he and I sanded the spots and applied rhino liner to the bottom of all the panels. Vehicle is 100% solid..Rust is over wheel wells, on door rockers and at bottom of liftgate only. (The attachment that shows the rear wheel well is how the rust looks in any affected areas)
I really don't know a ton about trucks, but I lived really close to work when I was driving this and it was great for mountain biking trips! I can't justify keeping it, so I would like to make a local sale, either here in Appleton, WI or in Wisconsin Rapids where the vehicle is currently located.
Here's the whole scoop, good and bad (Believe me, this is a full disclosure, lol!)...
I haven't seen a lot of FJ-60's, but mine is the best one I have seen on the streets
I am a wuss, I don't think it has been off-road since 100,000 (When the person I bought it from purchased it)...Maybe not before that either
Vehicle was in Wyoming before Wisconsin
It runs 100%.
Air Conditioning works!
Slow leak from rear main. (Enough to make the garage floor ugly. However, it is never enough to have to add oil between changes)
New brakes and rotors/drums all the way around. However, when they were done, I think that something was out of round, as it shimmeys a bit when braking from higher speeds
Tires are BF Goodrich and have less than 5k miles on them
An additional set of FJ-60 rims in really nice condition are included.
No dents or dings
ARB bumper
Safari Rack
Seat covers on front seats (drivers seat is bit ripped-up) All other seats are 100%
****py stereo
New Smog Pump
Full-Tune-Up done about 2 years ago
When I had it at Toyota for the new gas tank, they said the front axel will need rebuilt (which seems pretty common)
Gas gauge works until tank drops below 40%
Oil Pressure sending unit went-out two years ago, gauge is at zero
****py gas mileage, like you all know=)
I was told power steering leaked...However, this was never an issue.
Steering wheel seems to sit a little to one side when going straight down the road. I think it needs an adjustment to actually put 12:00 at 12:00
I took it out of the garage this weekend and used my girlfriends camera...The pictures are horrible, but I can snap a few more next weekend if needed...
Sorry I am so car-stupid...I will do whatever I can to put together a response to any questions, loL!)
Lowered price, $2750 (4/25)
Can be contacted by PM here, at my email addy daniel.whitford@gmail.com or by telephone, just ask!
Thanks for looking,
Dan
