Here is your chance to own the “Colorado Silverback”. This 1986 fj60 cruiser is ready to go wheeling now. It is the fastest most capable vehicle I have owned. Cruse to the trail at 75+ mph wheel all day then drive home. Only selling it to fund a Willys Wagon build. Until it sells I’m going to keep driving and wheeling it like it should be driven. Also going to keep working on it but the price will get firmer the more work I do to it. Asking $16900.00 obo. Make me a realistic offer and it could be yours.
The body is in good shape with very little rust (surface rust) as well as the frame. There are a few small dings and one big dent from wheeling (Passenger side rear). It is fixable just hasn’t been a priority.
Interior is pretty much stock. Front seats have a few rips here and there.
Has a nice Pioneer radio set up for XM.
Break down of the build:
400ph LT4 out of a 96 Grand Prix Corvette (approximately 70k miles) – Opti pack was removed and a hot rod tuned computer was added as well as individual coil packs for each cylinder. Afterburner headers with custom exhaust. I wanted to keep it kind of quiet but you’re still not going to sneak up on anyone. I get about 15 mpg. That is almost as good as a stock fj80.
TCI 4speed 7004r auto transmission
Duel transfer cases NP203/Toyota case - in Low,Low it is unstoppable.
SOA – Previous owner did this and did an awesome job. Rides smooth and flexes well. The knuckles were cut and turned. Drives straight and no crazy bump steer. Shocks are getting old but I have a pair of Rancho 9000s that I plan on installing. They are longer than stock to allow more flex so I need to build new brackets. Just haven’t done it yet.
Axles have 4:56’s gears with ARB locker up front and Detroit in the rear. Was told the rear axle was chromoly and fronts were long fields. I haven’t broken anything with the 37s so they must have been upgraded.
37in Goodyear MTRs with Trail ready beadlocks (true beadlocks)
High Steer- with new tie rod ends from Man-A-Fre
Disk brakes and hub conversion up front from a 4runner
Bigger 1” master cylinder
36 gallon long range gas tank from Man-A-Fre
Kaymar rear bumper
Custom high clearance front bumper with 8k Superwinch w/ hand held controller (works but I have never had to use it)
Custom rock sliders
Custom storage area in tailgate.
The bad. There isn’t much.
I can’t guarantee it will pass Front Range emissions. Right now it is registered in the mountains so it doesn’t have to pass. It shouldn’t be too tough thou.
The back window is plexiglass (watertight). Had a handle bar go thru the window. The guys up in Salida want $300 for tail gate with glass. I know I can get one for cheaper on craigslist. Just have to be patient, and I kind of like the rat rod look.
The Power steering works just not as good as I would like. Still 100% drivable just have to strong arm it sometimes to park. Still working this out.
$16900.00 obo. Make me an offer and lets see what happens
Thanks Josh
