Too many projects and too little time. I started this project (and a few others) over the last several years, and then life happened. A few too many major life events (some good, some not so good) and then the realization my kids are only here for a couple more years and they are already supper slammed with sports (and I'm the coach for one) and all the other school activities. We finished two projects together and we are still working on a third. So I feel like I passed on the love of "builds" to them. I would definitely love to finish this one too, but realistically it's not going to happen any time soon.

Selling my FJ60 project "beast". This LC has been in Southern California it's entire life and the beauty of the floor boards, frame, body mounts, etc show it. Very clean, no rust. The rig has about 200K on it and the body has the usual dings and dents. See the pics. I bought this with the intention of building a bad as$, CA legal, EMP proof, go anywhere rig. The original motor and tranny are gone. I have a 1997 FJ80 with a similar setup if you have questions (built by Torfab / solid dude).

Here is a list of parts it comes with:
Super solid body. No rust.
Carpet and headliner are out and thrown away.
Interior roll cage 95% complete.
6.5 Turbo Diesel with 40k Miles converted to mechanical injection (no electronics). Brand new 4911 injection pump and lines (~$4500)
(If you're not familiar with this conversion, look up DB2 conversion guide by Bobby Martin)
700R4 HD tranny custom built. brand new build by Oceanside
Transmission ($2700).
Freshly Rebuilt transfer case with an Advanced Adapters adapter to the 700r4 ($3500)
Custom built cross member (?$)
Disc brake conversion (~$400)
2" ole man emu HD lift (~$1500)
Turbo master adapter ($200)
Pair of nice 4 runner SR5 front seats (infinitely more comfortable than stock)
FJ62 rear back / back seat (has head rest FJ60 does not) has burn mark on it but I was planning on reupholstering all interior.
All parts are still in box when possible, all others cleaned up and neatly stored.
I'm sure there are more parts that will come to mind and I'll update when they do.

Clean CA title in hand. Currently non-op.
This is a package deal, I'm not interested in separating.I'd be willing to trailer it and all the parts within 100 miles for gas money. But once Dec hits, I'm coaching every weekend through February.
Thanks for looking. I'm sure I'm missing some info, ping me and I'll answer any questions.
My apologizes, only able to upload 5 pics. Pls PM if you want all of them, ie. parts, floor boards, etc. or check San Diego Craigslist for more pics.

Did you build mounts for the diesel engine onto the frame or does it still have the 2f mounts?

Good looking project!

Great question! Yes, new 6.5TD mounts already welded in and ready to go.
 
For anyone who was interested I picked this up as it was a great deal and I was planning on building it. As luck would have it I got offered a better project the day after I put a deposit down on it. Being true to my word I followed through on this purchase regardless but have no use for it so it is back up for sale.

Not looking to make anything on it so price is still the same . A few extra bits of info.
~OME lift kit is the delux with greasable inversion shackles and shocks, leaves, bushings etc
~ Rear Disc kit is the upgrade version with the park brake on it
~ Everything is as described which is why I grabbed it as the parts and $$$ spent where far more than asking.
~ body and chassis are very clean few dints and scratches but no rust or issues
~ 60 Series had factory air and power fitted so can easily be plumbed to densely
~ 60 series has CA title as diesel so no smog or inspection required ever.

Anyway if anyone missed out and is interested here is your chance. My new project arrives next week so can happily validate the reason there is nothing wrong with the truck or parts at all which is why I thought I would post in original for sale so it was easier to follow.

Will leave on mud for a week or so and if no interest will put on other places.

Greta project, still on my trailer so if ya quick and local I can deliver for free ...
 
Truck is located near Escondido CO. A deposit has been taken and it is being delivered tomorrow morning to its new owner. Which is great timing as my new project is arriving Mon / Tues this week :)
